Completed Scores~
Thanks for playing! You can see the results here.
Rules *read me*:

- Entry info: To enter, private message the tournament coordinator (Kairyu) the 9 pokemon you wish to use for the tournament. Also, be sure to include movesets from your roster. This is to ensure everyone will keep to their pokemon and current movesets.

- 6 on 6 OR 3 on 3 single battle @ lv.100 <-preset

- Matches will be done in best two out of three. Each win equals a point to your score. A loss is of course zero points. Message me the results or post about it in this thread, include any other details if you like!

- In between each battle you may switch out your team and/or your hold items. Try not to take too long.

- The following pokemon are banned from this tournament:
Mewtwo
Mew
Wobbuffet
Lugia
Ho-Oh
Wynaut
Latias
Latios
Kyogre
Groudon
Rayquaza
Deoxys (all forms)
Dialga
Palkia
Giratina
Darkrai
Arceus

- Sleep Clause: At any one time only one pokemon on your opponent's team can be put to sleep by you.

- Enigma Berry Clause: Do not use that hold item!
As you might have of guessed this tournament will be played out Round Robin style. Meaning every player will challenge everyone else on the roster at least once. Winners will be determined by point totals. Ties from the point totals will probably be settled through a sudden death 6 on 6 single battle. If that happens!

Now this tournament will probably take a few weeks days to a week to accomplish as I expect a lot of us have real life things to take care of. So I divided the round robin layout into brackets. If we have a even number of players in this tournament we can ensure everyone will be playing in every round. *Example of a bracket layout*
With that in mind I hope to post results and future brackets every 3 days or so. If we're faster than this then I'll pick up the pace, simple. If you know a better way to handle this or want to help with this section, I'm all ears!

Player's teams/movesets will be posted by noon sunday or whenever I receive that info from all the players.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Just give me a few more minutes guys. I'm waiting on one person to make a correction. I do have everything ready to go though.

edit:
Ok I did all I can on my end, have fun!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The point system will still be even for everyone. The only down side now is that each of us will not get to play in every round.
I would expect more ties so if anything the top 3 (maybe 4) will have a single elimination match after the round robin.

How ya doing, buddy?

My Round One match is done. >.<

I have to remember to take Macho Braces off my Pokemon before I battle. Even in PBR, I do the same thing. T_T
Well that's kinda messed up D:

If it's alright with IC you can redo your match with the proper hold items. You have time~ Elmoogle didn't reply back to my PM so I assume he's still out.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just updated the scoring bracket. I assume Chaotic and IC are redoing their second match.

Round 1 *updated*
You can also check the OP for the same link. Let me know if you guys want any more statistics included.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Just finished. The results have been PMed.
Alright I added in the changes. If I can't get into contact with Elmoogle by the time I return (in 3 or 4 hours) I will go ahead and add in round 2.
Good games so far, from what I hear. Wish you guys would mention something about it here =p.

Round 2 has been added. Me and Elmoogle still need to do one more match then I'll move on to round 2 to fight Chaotic.

Crazy battle Elmoogle, I'm looking forward to our next one!

Um... His Staraptor REALLY loves him? We probably switched back and fourth about 20 times throughout 3 battles? Flying Pokemon are way too quick?
Haha, sorry I asked~

Damn, Elmoogle's team is crazy fierce.
I don't want to give away his battle strategy but whatever you do look out for his Weavile! Damn thing demolished half my team over... and over >:U.

Still that had to be one of the best series of matches I ever encountered. The scoring reflected that pretty well too, I think.

Anyway, round 1 is complete and no updates were added to round 2.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

My battle lasted WAY too long against Kairyu. We only got one done, but I'm looking forward to the next one.

Who would've known you could go so far being paralyzed for about 85% of the battle?
Your Umbreon just couldn't take no for a answer!
It even took down my Dragonite .

Oh well it was a slow but nonetheless awesome match. Here's the updated info for round 2 to satisfy anyone's curiosity.

I'll be back to bust a cap in our second match, C-Unit. Aight?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Wow talk about a come back victory for Chaotic. You totally beat me to the ground ;_;.
I have no excuses though and yes, that was a good match. An unexpected loss but I can live with that!

Updated the brackets one last time before I go to bed. Just waiting on Crash and ^-^ to do their round 2 match. If they're not done by tomorrow evening (my time) I'll go ahead and add in round 3 into the mix.


Edit: I thought of a very random idea for next month's tournament, should we have another one.

We submit names of 6-9 Pokemon that we have. Those names go into a draft pool. If the participants stay the same for the next tournament, we could figure out draft order through the rankings at the end of this tournament.

Each Pokemon submitted will be assigned a number, participants choose numbers and draft Pokemon to their team that way. We trade accordingly and start the tournament. It's like a slight variation of the Fortune Battle from PBR. The whole idea of using Pokemon that aren't yours.

I'm not sure how many problems this might cause if you leave your Pokemon in the care of someone for a short time, but I dunno, it's just an idea at the moment.

Thoughts?
Sounds like too much work for everyone if you ask me. Imagine all the trading and untrading we would have to do once we're all done. If everyone just had a Wii and PBR I'd be all over this idea for a future tournament. But we don't .

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Well that sucks I lost AGAIN!
Rua's team is scary, I'll give him that. Except for his Aerodactyl, it was really the only poke that was a pushover ._.

Alright, I've updated the charts. Not a lot has changed but it's still nice to see new numbers.

Oh yeah, people please don't forfeit your battles. It's not exactly the most encouraging to thing to see. If you don't have time or don't feel too good then just postpone the match until later. No harm in doing that, I'm prepared for that.
Also bear in mind forfeiting a battle means you automatically gain 6 KOs to your stats. On top of giving the point to your opponent. Doing this too often will not only kill any chance of the forfeiting player to play in the finals~ But it will throw off the tiebreaking decision when the points are tallied. Just something you guys should consider.
If there is anything I hate seeing it's a player giving up during a good match.

Okay, I'm having a really hard time connecting to you.
I found out the problem tends to fix itself if both players log out of wifi and then log back in. Otherwise make sure your computer(s) isn't hogging the connection.

Cool, scores are updated once again.
And ^-^ I'll be ready to battle for our round 4 match a little later, probably three hours from now. If I don't see you then just drop me a PM whenever you're ready.

Still waiting on Elmoogle and Chaotic to finish up their round 4 match. But I've decided to end the waiting and put up round 5. Also, here's a update of the available brackets.

IC, I'll PM you for our match some time on saturday. I'm pretty busy this weekend so if anything expect a late night battle. Oh and if you can't make that either just let me know.

How ya doing, buddy?

And you're still here because...?

I'm doing my damn best in running this tournament but ultimately it's up to the players involved to make it happen. Do you honestly think I can force players to do their matches to make things move faster?
Yes I probably could've had this tournament done within a week or less. People have lives, timezones are a bit in the way for some of us but we're moving.

This isn't the hardcore Smogon community (or whatever they're called) so go there for your tournament fix. You sound like you need it. The last thing I need is a person that signed up just to bitch infront everyone in this thread.

------

On a side note me and IC completed our match last evening. I may have lost but that match was awesome .

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I've been waiting days for this match! This boy never responds!

I'm starting to get impatient with this!


He finally responded!

Crash, our match tonight will have to wait!
I have no idea if Elmoogle PM'ed you about your match but he PM'ed me saying that he has dropped out of the tournament. Bad timing and being busy is more than likely his reasons. Same for Rua.

And we only had 2 more rounds to go .
Welp, we can finish off this tournament if you guys want. Here's what the next two rounds (rounds 6 and 7) should have looked like.

So basically we're down to three matches altogether:
Crash Landon VS. Chaotic
Crash Landon VS. Kairyu
Chaotic VS. ^-^

After that, I'll add up the points and death toll~ then I suppose we can call it quits .
With only 5 of us remaining I see little reason to finish off any ties through a single elimination match. I still want to brainstorm/attempt at another and hopefully less lengthy tournament!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Kai, so what's going on with this right now?
I'm having a epic battle against Crash right now. And we only finished one match so far! He barely won with one pokemon left in his arsenal.
My personal high point of the match was freezing two of his pokemon with Ice Beam and having Quick Claw work just in time .

As for this tournament there isn't much left to do. I'll tally the scores and update the score page once I finish battling Crash~ After that, I think we're done.
I'm open to ideas for the next one provided we have more players interested in playing.

edit:
Crash and I will do our next battle on Sunday so I've updated the scores a bit. You can find it right here.

Most amazing jew boots

I lost 81 pokemon D:

Results are in!
Top Three:
1st - ^-^
2nd - Crash Landon
3rd - Identity Crisis

Nice playing everyone. I did learn one thing in all this, do not use round robin as the tournament format (Swiss or single elimination works MUCH better and faster.)

Edit:
If you want to see point details, go here.

I expect that, had Rua stayed in, the final results would've been much different.


Also, the amount of haxxing in last night's game against Kairyu was unbelievable.
His Miltank Body Slammed my Breloom. I got Paralysis and the Miltank was put to sleep by Effect Spore. There were also incidents of hax poison, freezing and burning.

On the plus side, Protect worked twice in a row, for once!
Haha, was there a status effect we didn't use?

I swore I had the match in the bag the way Equinox was regulating the battle. Calm Minded at least twice and it burned everything in sight. Yet it dies from a critical hit move ._.

I was speaking idiomatically.
