PERFORMANCE GUIDELINES 1. each contestant can only post once and must include anything they want in that. 2. they can use props, seals, food, anything to make your performance better. 3. the judges will be chosen from three non-contestants. 4. these judges will give you a rating from 1-10 and then the average will be taken from these scores. 5. the top eight scores will be posted up and those contestants will move onto the battle rounds. 6. the pokemon you choose for this round cannot be used in the battle round. BATTLING GUIDELINES 1. please make things fair. if we catch you dodging more than 2 times in a row, you will lose points. 2. this is a full out battle to show off your pokemon. make it interesting for everyone reading. 3. the judges will take away points each time your opponent dodges or an opponent's attack lands. 4. you will have up to 5 posts each to complete your battle. 5. the pokemon you choose for the battle round will be different than your pokemon for the performance round. THE STARS ALIGN FOR YOU AND I TONIGHT  ★★
