Hey everyone summer's back and so is the summer battle festival I hope y'all are ready for some intense battles. The rules are simple and are as follows
1. It's standard ou so anything in that scope is fair game
2.smogon bans apply here just to clarify
Now getting into the more intricate rulesets for the SBF

3. Each person enter must have sbf  in their name at all times think of it as a badge of sorts while you have the sbf tag in your name you're free game  during the first round of the tournament is is a battle Royale (not the actual in game FFA or battle Royale)
4. you can battle as much as you like to earn enough points to make it to the second round though you can battle as much to your hearts content but repeatedly battling the same person in the same day is a no go.(mostly cause it's really easy to bully certain battlers) but you can battle that same person next day.

5. You're required to accept 3 battle minimum after that you can refuse battles if you don't want to but you are required to collect at least 50 points to move on to the next round every one will be starting at 0 points and the amount of points that Can be earned per win is 3 plus 1 for engaging in battles with other players plus one more for overwhelming victories.

6.the second round is a round robin in which the battlers that made it to this round battle in groups to come out on top to make it to top round 3(if you need clarification ask any of the tourney committee)
7.all battles conducted without a sbf tag are null and void
8. be fair and honest don't just don't say you battle someone with out any proof the judges will be watching and making calls so just a heads up.
9. After the top 16 are decided the rest of the tournament is basic CLT
I think that's all for the rules (if anything comes up I'll make sure to add it)
