Welcome to another edition to the PokeSTEEM Battle League Weekly Tournaments. It has been an amazing eight weeks at that. In this post we will be acknowledging those who have entered in our tournament for Week 7 and introducing the Week 8 tournament.
As always we are challenging any member of the @steemit community to take part in this week's tournament. Members of the community can battle Pokemon for a chance at the Weekly Rewards earned from this post. Those players who place within the Top 12 battlers are eligible for the rewards.
All players are welcome to make posts about their battles and take part in spreading the word of the PokeSTEEM community by using the hashtags #pokesteem #pokesteembattleleague or the current weeks hashtag example #week8pokesteem. Spreading the word of the community helps bring more rewards to the pool and will hopefully encourage the Pokemon community to want to use this platform.
This tournament will end on Sunday at 11:59 PM and all battles marked in the battle verification log will be used for the earnings leaderboard and distributed according to the following brackets listed under the leaderboard section.
This Week's Tournament will be
DOUBLES OU TOURNAMENT
In a Doubles OU(OverUsed) Tournament players are battling with 2 Pokemon out in the field at once that are ranked OU and Under. This is very similar to the official Pokemon League Tournament playstyle except unlike in VGC, all Pokémon default to level 100 instead of level 50. You are also able to use a full team of 6 Pokemon.
