We are challenging 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 of the week will receive the reward. 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 #week7pokesteem. 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. ![pokesteem hr.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYtsBNMLFfZViWeEVv9fdakw4fYdEtX911x6HyMLNJn5j/pokesteem%20hr.png) # This Week's Tournament will be # Monotype Random Tournament #### # Important Information When Challenging Players: Using the Teambuilder will not be necessary for this week's tournament.
