(Excuse the title grammar; I only had so many characters to work with and I used ALL OF THEM)
I was a fan of the "New Frontiers" format Pokemon Perfect was using for awhile and I think it would be useful for helping to explore this tradebacks format that this forum is trying to promote. RBY OU tradebacks does not have a ladder on showdown anywhere, so perhaps this would be the next best thing. All I need from you people is for you to let me know whether or not you would be interested in this very low stakes tournament that isn't actually a tournament.
I am willing to tweak and refine the format to help out this users of this forum best, but I would be starting with this until I have feedback:
- Each week, I will assign each player a new opponent with emphasis on trying to prevent duplicate matchups from the previous week. (Very subject to change based on feedback)
- Each matchup is expected to play at least 3 games and provide replays from them for tier research purposes (I have lots of questions that I need to answer on the replay side of things... This will likely change)
- There will be week long sign up period initially
- Any user may opt into the player pool in the weeks following their "in" post
- Any user may opt out of the player pool for the following weeks. Users who opt out must still do their best to get their games done for the current week.
If you want to play, I will give you someone to play against. This thread is for discussing the viability of this format here and what I can change to make it more viable.

That being said, enabling it for ladder on the pokemonperfect.psim.us server is very easy to do.
