BASICS
Props are encouraged and in fact make for the best DISPLAYS!
Coordination relies on NON-LITERAL interpretations on moves. If it says "Pluck" -- then run with it! It's about CREATIVITY and ENTERTAINMENT (because, remember, coordination contests are aired all over, and are likely something of an idol pageant, to be honest!). Being literal will likely get you nowhere in the entertainment industry!
Furthermore, Coordinators work by shaping their pokemon's APPEARANCE TO SUIT THE THEME. SHOWING them off, if you would! Appearances can be changed from anything to special grooming, to putting them in clothes, to even dressing them up as mythological figures! Whatever works!
Every contest would be set to a specific THEME and it would be up to the Coordinator to fully expand upon this with their Pokemon!
Why do Coordinators work with two things in mind? Because there are two separate AREAS OF COORDINATION CONTESTS -- DISPLAY and SHOWING.
DISPLAY is showcasing a Pokemon's moves, usually put to a story, music, or just to look whatever the theme is! SHOWING is shaping a Pokemon's appearance to suit the theme in an ORIGINAL and CREATIVE way. They are DISTINCT and graded on a separate scale.
Every contest has TWO JUDGES -- to prevent bias! These NPCS are CARAPACES. They would first judge the SHOWING round, and then MOVE ON to the DISPLAY PORTION.
Each round is graded on a scale of TWENTY -- two RAW SCORES from each judge. Meaning: The maximum score (or flawless victory) is a 4O/4O.
EVERY coordinator who competes would receive a RIBBON. There are First, Second, Third, and Runner Up Ribbons. EVERYONE WINS, but then again, ONLY ONE CAN BE FIRST.
Most likely, they function like badges -- but they're really FOR THE GLORY. The number of ribbons gives the experience, but the ranking of thus tells competence, after all!
Contests would be held AT THE ADMIN'S/JUDGES LEISURE, and should be announced UP TO THREE DAYS IN ADVANCE, if possible, to make sure everyone who signs up can get to Saffron City in time!
They take place in the disused Dojo in SAFFRON CITY, which has been revamped into a Contest Hall. The hall is run by the WHITE QUEEN, who will only be available for challenging for a one on one coord battle once someone has earned EIGHT RIBBONS. If they win, they become the new runner of the coord hall, and are obligated to make the same challenges on upstarts to keep the title.

Only we won't be doing such long-ass posts those were HORRIBLE. Especially the judges' ones.
Happy competing![/ul]
