Part 1: Announcement

A week before the contest the Contest Director will create the contest topic in the News box naming the city it will take place in. This post will contain a broadcast letter to all trainer's watches and those trainers that are entering the contest and the pokémon they are entering with.

Part 2: Application

Code:

1st Pokemon:
2nd Pokemon:
Number of Ribbons:

Any Application that did not follow the Format above won't be accepted. Once the dateline is over the Contest Director will post a topic in the city which the contest will take place naming the Contestants and their pokemon.

Part 3: Performance

After the Contest Director post the Topic with the Contestant, every contestant must PM a performance post to the Contest Director. This should use 2-5 moves and be as descriptive and artistic as possible. One or two paragraphs long would be ideal, taking too long could eventually bore the judges. Judging will take place when all contestant's performances are received, but the results will not be posted yet.

Part 4: The Performance Round

The date of the contest all the contestant who entered the Contest MUST be at the city which the contest is taking place. If not that contestant will be disqualified. Now that that is clear on the the Contest takes place the contest director will Post the results of the Performance round announcing who will pass into the battle round, The judge's comments and the announcer's narration.

Part 5: The Battle Round

The two finalists will enter the contest hall from backstage, and battle in front of the judges and the audience. This battle will last either until there is a third page in the topic or until three days after the contest started passed. If one player's pokémon faints the battle ends immediately and the other player is the victor. If either deadline is met the judges will decide a winner based on how artistically they battled. In this battle level difference is irrelevant, four or five good hits should be enough to knock out an opponent.

Part 6: The Prize

Once a winner is decided the judge will award the city's ribbon to the winner and a secondary prize to the runner-up. Also included with the ribbon is a cash prize of 1,000-10,000 PokeCash and a rare item, and something special if the contest calls for it. The runner-up will receive a random TM. The winner of the contest will also be placed in the News box for a day.
