Snow Cloak is really banned?
heck I'm probably out. my team doesn't even make use of hail at all but it'd be too hard to breed a Froslass with Hidden Ability just for this........
if I manage to breed and train a substitute Pokémon in time, count me in!(please reserve the spot, if possible, until I can confirm)

goodbyes are a sad part of life but for every end there's a new beggining so one must never stop looking forward to the next dawn

I feel the weather stat boosting abilities really don't need to be banned anymore, since weather is no longer permanent but ok..

Is the item Brightpower banned as well?

Umm… Care to have some gravy?

Fabaroo

I want in. Also, I have Froslass with DW ability if anyone needs me to breed it. It has Timid nature and decent IVs.

Wait. Are these battles 1v1, or 6v6 single battles?

I'm considering putting in an activity date which is a week before the first round deadline. Basically, if the user does not reply at all and there is a week left in the first round, they will be subbed out. If not that, than yes activity will play a part. For now all entrants seem to be good users though.

Yes, again thank you for the catch, I'll list it now. :3

These battles are 6 vs 6, with each side using 6 pokemon which can be changed between rounds (or less if they so desire ).

I'd join if it wasn't for item clause.
In 6v6 Singles, that'd really mess me over.
I'm only used to playing with item clause in VCG format.
