Time for the annual Singles Showdown; I imagine you all know the drill by now.

Standard 6vs6 singles on Pokemon Showdown is the name of the game. The rules are almost identical to last year, the only changes being Blaziken being thrown into the Uber list and the Baton Pass clause being removed. Below, the link to Showdown for anyone who needs it:

Since my PC kicked the can and I only got it back today (combined with the low number of entrants) I'm extending the signup duration by one week.

Assuming my PC remains working by that point of course.

So tomorrow got delayed a fair bit, due mainly to my computer playing up.

I'll try to get this up and running at some point this week, assuming I don't have to do any more rig-fixing.
