Welcome to the IPA Stadium! You remember the Pokemon Stadium games for the N64? Of course you do, of course you do. Since the 'Stadium' thing was replaced with 'Colosseum' and the 'Battle Frontier' (both of which are lame compared to Stadium) we shall carry on its legacy in IPA. There is one major difference, though. IPA do gain experience points from battle here, but because of the limitations placed on level, they can't gain it during the tournament. All EXP accumulated throughout the tournament is gained at the very end. There are, of course, other prizes to make this worth while... each consecutive opponent beaten will win you a little IC, but the best prizes come at the end.
Also note that, unlike the gym threads, more than one person can battle here at a time... but if two people are in the same tournament at the same time, they may end up battling each other.
There are currently three tournaments that take place...
Baby Cup - This tournament is only open to IPA with less than five wins. IPA with zero wins are also excluded, on account of... it would be pretty cruel to use an IPA that had never fought before at all here. You enter with three IPA, and they will all be used in the five consecutive battles.
Team Cup - As the name suggests, this is a double battle tournament. Four IPA enter, and three are used in each of the four battles. Also, the total level of the four IPA can not exceed fourty. Again, IPA with zero wins are banned.
Free-For-All - Six one-on-one battles with no level limitations. From your party of six, you'll pick three for each match. And be careful - those last two opponents are tough...
So, issue a challenge to one of the three tournaments, and I'll show you your first opponent. And just wait till you see what the typical IPA trainer looks like... I hope you didn't think the IPA themselves were weird.

"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.
