8 slots will be open for this contest. After Round 1, 4 will be eliminated. Following Round 2, only 2 will remain. Whichever of the two sustains less damage in 5 rounds of battle will claim the ribbon.

Appeals and pokémon choices will all be done via PM, on all rounds. Attacks in the battle stage will also all be done via PM. You may only choose one pokémon for the entirety of the contest, for both appeals and battles. Choose wisely.

If you wish to participate, post in this thread saying that you wish to do so. Then, send me a PM with your pokémon choice, gender, nickname if you have it, and appeals for Round 1. Failure to PM me appeals within 1 week of my posting of the round will result in immediate disqualification.

All right, good luck.
