I remember that site. I used to use it for it's sprite resources loads, though I only joined the forum late on. I remember there was a friendly, none-ev trained tournament which was hosted by someone called Judge Dread. (I don't know why, but I keep thinking that was @Rival Max. Not sure if I'm just imagining things.)
I entered it, and due to there being an odd number of entrants, got though the first round by default. Then my opponent in the second round didn't have time to make a team so only had two pokemon, one of which was underleveled. So I got into the finals of my first tournament by dumb coincedence. Didn't win though, or at least I don't think I did. But then I didn't get to post much there, and when I came back, the site had closed.
