The New Tandor Casual League 2.0

[keybrdkid09]

The only thing I want re-clarifications is if the E4 leaders will have the choice of setting the battle.

Simply put, is this league purely in singles? or both singles and doubles? And if the later, will this ability to decide the battle style be randomized bby the third party, or will the leaders themselves be setting this on their own accord?

If everything goes swimmingly, I can see these kind of stuff have a kind of league like the Reborn League (imo the most intensive league ever established so far by the fans of the Pokemon Reborn fangame, where depending on which season you participated, has different Rules and what not; In general you, the challenger need to defeat the 17 Leaders of each type which is tiered by how well each Gym Leader faced each other in the prelimenaries, of which, the final Leader is the Champion of the 17 Leaders. Only a single, non-exchangable team is permitted throughout the entire course of the league) and that would be very, very fun with these Fakemons available to us in PU.

And no, I'm not expecting such a league to be established. Takes real manpower and management to conduct (yes, all 17 Leaders are actual people and not AI) and therefore needs more stable... everything, really. Just mentioning this cause I genuinely enjoyed the Reborn League, and how it played out despite their own share of difficulties. Would be fun if we have more than just 4 people and a Champion.

As a general overall answer to all your questions, there are Rules that apply to this League. But I haven't filled them in on Page 1 on the TCL Reboot 2.0 page yet. It may take me a bit of time, but we are not in a hurry anyway since we have no functioning live battles or VT's yet.

As to more specific answers to the italicized questions:

Q:  The only thing I want re-clarifications is if the E4 leaders will have the choice of setting the battle. 
A:   Yes the Elite Four Members have control over their own battles and special rules. The League allows Elite Four Members only to have a special rule concerning their live battles that is unique to each Elite Four member specifically. 

Q:  Simply put, is this league purely in singles?  
A:   Yes...for now. I believe the old League reasoning was: we are having enough trouble with trying to complete a full single 6v6 battle that trying to do it successfully with doubles would only probably cause more problems. So the idea was never fully explored. However, I am not opposed to the idea at say, the Elite Four level. If one E4 wanted to make double only battles their special rule. Or even opening up the idea to Gym leaders, at their discretion. We can discuss this as a League consensus. But like I said before, none of this becomes relevant until we have some form of functioning Live battling system or Virtual Trainer system.

Q:  will this ability to decide the battle style be randomized bby the third party?
A:   At the moment, I have no plans to randomize it. I would be happy with a simple stream of reported wins/losses. In a similar answer to the previous question, just getting single battles to function properly in 4.3 and 1.0 is a large enough challenge for now-until we see some major improvements to the Online battling system.  I am not opposed to a random choice, but I think it would be difficult to enforce. It would required two League members to be present per battle-which may not always be possible depending on availability ect. It might be easier in the long run just to get League members control over their own battles.
