I had an idea, what if we were to make it so the day tournaments happen on changes every week. Like the first week it would be on Monday, Tuesday in the next week, Wednesday the next, etc. etc.

I think this would be able to accomodate to everyone's schedules more nicely than just having them on the same day every week. We could still have the Randoms tournament weekly on Saturdays though.

Right. The reason Pokemon go in to lower tiers is because they are too weak to be viable in higher ones. The tier system aims to make Pokemon that are not as good, say Vivilon, and put them in an environment where they can flourish.

It makes sense that if a Pokemon is too weak in a certain metagame, it would still be allowed. It just takes more effort on the player's part to make it work most of the time.

Alright. After reading your explanation, I think I have tiers down.. The lower the tier, the more that particular Pokemon can be used in others.

No worries, I like the new description better with your revisions :)

Also... I was unaware there was a character limit xD Glad you discovered that

Added some more info on the tiers, sorry for deleting some of your stuff, I ran out of space for characters!

If we ever feel that we need to add more, we can delete some of the unnecessary tier info like "Little Cup" or "Challenge Cup".

Huh, I don't think you understand how tiers work.

Let's say you have an Arceus. You can only use this Pokemon in the Ubers tier.
However, if you have something like a Latios, who is in OU. You can use this in OU and Ubers.
Moreover, if you have a Pokemon like Slaking, who is in NU, you can use it in NU, RU, UU, OU, and Ubers.
Pokemon are not restricted to their own tiers, it's just the tier they are designated to be fair/best in.

Interesting. Anyway, you should be able to edit the description now Peng. Had to go configure the group permissions thinger.

As for 6 v 6 exhibition, while it isn't an official tier per se, the permise is to allow players to make their own teams based on whatever they want, though this may backfire and may require Ubers not to be allowed - more of an idea in the works though

By the way, what is Exhibition 6v6?

Just a comment, Pokemon Online's tier list is not the same as Pokemon Showdown's. For example, Genesect, Mega Kangaskhan and Mega Lucario are banned in Showdown's (Smogon) ruleset, but not in PO's.
