Oh for ****'s sake, why do we need to enter stuff like that in anyway?

No idea how to play Little Cup. I expect a bottom placing. Whatever

Tery is a person who enjoys telling little boys that he wants to touch them. He also enjoys touching them after he kidnaps them and puts them in his soundproof basement.

Little Cup is sooo **** intimidating. Its worse than Ubers :(
And this is really sad, because Ubers is actually considered the quickest tier to pick up. And if it's not the quickest, it's at least one of the quickest. And LC isn't bad at all either.

In fact, they were probably the two that I found the least intimidating to switch into. Research can go quite a long way.

Because then we'd have children like you who don't read them and act stupidly. You're signed up.

I don't know, it seemed no matter how much I read, I ALWAYS got my *** handed to me in Ubers. I always faired best in OU. Little Cup has such staggeringly powerful pokemon (in relation to their enviroment) that I'm intimidated to put nearly anything on my team out of fear of having a massive Crogonuk or Houndour weakness.

I just got into competitive Pokemon about 2 weeks ago, so I'll be happy if I even get past the first round. I'd feel a lot more confident if this was OU.

Tery is the BOSS.

I didn't read them because I already know the rules for little cup.

Species Clause
Sleep Clause
Evasion Clause
OHKO Clause
Self-KO Clause
Timed Battle (usually)
No pokemon over level 5
Lowest forms of an evolutionary chain only
Scyther, Tangela, Misdreavus, Sneasel, Yanma, Meditite, and Murkrow are banned
Only moves that a pokemon would learn by level 5 are allowed
Certain moves or combinations of moves are not allowed due to breeding purposes (Hypnosis Bronzong, etc.)

I knew that **** without looking and I can guess what the tourney structure is going to be (double elim, etc.). Doing that extra thing was just tedious.

Well then, you'll be surprised if you lose the first round. This is going to be single elimination, buddy.

Thanks for reading the rules,

Yeah, the guide's certainly a good place to start; despite the fact that it's rather outdated. It at least teaches you the different EV system that you'll need to pay attention to. Reading the recent Smog article about Misdreavus' disappearance can help you learn a bit about the actual metagame, as I believe it mentions some of the threats that have become more potent with her leaving.

Apart from that, Terywj pretty much covered it.

nothing except that he won the last one.

LC is a whole different ballgame though...and the vast majority of us have no experience with it.

This needs to be stickied bumping out the mixed bags tourney IMO.

God I have a bad feeling about LC. I'll be happy if I can get past the 1st round. I've never played an LC match and I have no idea how my team will fare with an actual LC team because nobody ever plays LC on shoddy.

What roacher said applies to me times three thousand, considering I just recently got into Poke as a whole. Lurking around here and smogon has helped, though.

That's why this tournament will "set" the level for everyone, since pretty much nobody has played Little Cup here.

Mixed Bags has already been unstickied.
So I'll ask Spire to sticky this then.

I've played Little Cup, but only a little of it (no pun intended).
