Welcome to the VGC Academy 2014 tournament!
This tournament will be following our standard tournament structure, with one big twist: We're playing in the 2014 format (Yes, the Pachirisu one). For those unaware, in 2014:
The current game was Pokemon X and Y! Only Pokemon native to the XY regional Pokedex are legal! Restricted legendaries were banned! Megas obtainable in XY are allowed, any Megas new to ORAS are banned! Games were played with closed team sheets! (Note: You're still required to submit a team sheet for moderation/archival purposes, your opponent won't see it! All team sheets will be fully visible once the tournament has concluded. Opponents will be displayed Pokemon icons similar to team preview)
Make sure to join the discord server, as all judge calls will be handled through there. It's also a great place to practice! We hope to see you there!
