Pokemon XY OU Monotype Tournament - STARTING

I can't believe signups have been going on this long and I STILL haven't needed to actually call dibs on Dark Type yet.
And like, I wasn't even really sure if I would join, seeing as how I only have like two people from this forum on my friend code thing and I haven't beaten Y yet.
Is there even... do I have to have beaten the game to participate? Do I need that pokemon bank thing? I've been lost for months.
