Pokemon Draft Tournament
Welcome to the best Pokemon tournament ever! To understand how this tournament will work, you must learn the four stages of this tournament. The stages go in this order: signing up, drafting, preparation, and battle.
To understand why this is the best Pokemon tournament ever, one must know the way this tournament is set up. I will attempt to do this by explaining each stage of the tournament throughly. To understand the tournament in its entirety, you must read through all four stages. As a reminder, be sure to regularly check this post for important updates! Stage 1: Signing Up  Signing up is as simple as declaring your interest in doing so in this thread, before the deadline to sign up is over. Roster of participants in chronological order:
Hint: After you have signed up, it is strongly recommended that you pan out your thoughts as to which Pokemon you'd want to draft. Also, this website is your friend. Stage 2: Drafting From the roster of participants I will use ChocoDecide to decide the fate of everybody's placing. I will plug in each name, follow by a comma, and let ChocoDecide decide who drafts their Pokemon first. After this, I will then eliminate their name from the list and continue with this process until everybody has been selected. The order in which participants will draft:
The participants upon this order will then draft their Pokemon three at a time. The last person will then subsequently draft all six of his of her Pokemon at once. The order will then be reversed and continued on from there. Participants who have the opportunity to choose first should then have the strongest Pokemon, but the players who choose last will have the most cohesive teams. There are rules to which Pokemon you are allowed to choose in the tournament; most legendary Pokemon and Wobbuffet are banned, as they give out unfair advantages. Below are your potential Pokemon draftees in order followed by their point value (which will be explained later). Potential Pokemon draftees:
If you already know which Pokemon you want to use for the tournament, but unsure of which Pokemon have already been drafted, below is the list of Pokemon that have already been drafted and by whom. Pokemon Drafted:
You will have 24-hours from the last person to draft your Pokemon. If you do not show up for this (exception in the hint below) you will have to wait until everybody else has made their selection in that round. If you miss both rounds, you will be ejected from the competition. Hopefully if everything goes as planned, the drafting process shall not take more than a week. But this depends on the amount of interest gathered and how fast people will draft their Pokemon. Hint: At any time after you have signed up but before you select all of your draftees, you may submit a, "queue" list of Pokemon to me in a private message, from most desired to least. My recommendation is the more Pokemon you put on that list, the better. At any one time this list may be updated, and as well I will keep my eyes on every queue list that people give me to see if their Pokemon have been chosen so I can cross them off their list. If you happen to not be able to reach the 24-hour limit, I will then use your queue list to make your top three selections, instead of using the default system set up for this tournament. Stage 3: Preparation After each player has selected all his or her six Pokemon, it is time to prepare for battle! If you don't feel like you can make it in time, fear not, for players are always willing to trade Pokemon they may have that you drafted. If you wish to trade, please post in this thread what you wish to trade. To avoid unnecessary clutter and confusion, I have created a trading nexus for all things coming and going. Pokemon Trade:
Hint: Since you only have ten days to prepare your team, focus on the big picture, such as obtaining the Pokemon you drafted, or getting the most useful TMs you can find. Do not worry about the small things like EV or having the absolute ideal team. Go for the practical. It is also the time to collect any hold items you may want to use in this tournament since you are allowed to change them. Stage 4: Battle This tournament's format is round robin. This means everybody will face each other once. Only the first match will count. Pokemon will automatically be raised to level 100 upon entering the battle. Move pools adjustments will not be allowed in this tournament, but hold items adjustments will be. The limit to how many times you can use double team is once per match. As for moves that cause the opponent's Pokemon to sleep, the ability can be used as long until it is successful in obtaining that status. After that, you must wait to use a move that causes the opponent's Pokemon to sleep until the next match with a different opponent. This does not apply to self-sleep moves such as rest, nor does it apply to natural Pokemon powers. As well, all matches must be done in the normal singles style. Each match will consist of three rounds. The first round consists of a 6 on 6 battle, while the second and third rounds consist of 3 on 3 battles. Someone must take tabs on who's Pokemon is KOed, what Pokemon they are, and how many times they were KOed. These are essential to figuring out who is the winner of the match. Every Pokemon that you KO is worth the cumulative base stats of that Pokemon, made into a system of "points". For example, Lucario has the base stats 70 HP, 110 Attack, 70 Defense, 115 Special Attack, 70 Special Defense, and 90 Speed. All six of these together would be worth 525 "points". Every battle is worth 2 points for a win, 1 point for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. The length of this process will depend on how many people sign up; every participant will be worth 1.5 days. If you do not make every match for the tournament while the alloted time is given to you, you will not receive any points for them. The Official Battle Chart:
After the battle stage, the winner will be announced by how many points they earned. If there is a tie, the winner should be the won with the least amount of their Pokemon KOed. There will not be any official avatar/signature combo themes for this tournament, but you are more than welcome to design something yourself. Now, with all that being said, good luck to all of the participants of this tournament! Let the tournament begin! Most amazing jew boots

Seeing as this was more or less my idea, I'll boldly be the first to sign up.
Now I have to actually sit down and look at what I have available. Indecision sucks. There's nowhere I can't reach.  |

I'm in. I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body? |

I will let you kick my ass in Mario Kart (for approx 20 mins) if you guys do not draft my favorite pokyman =D
Count me in. I was speaking idiomatically. |
Member 264 Level 10.71 Mar 2006 |
Definitely sounds interesting. I'm in.
I'll have to make it up to you guys for my poor attendance last time around. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?  |

[edit]
I'm glad that people have signed up! I hope this tournament is as good, or better, than the last!  If by any chance anyone has questions about anything in this tournament (rules, etc.), don't feel hesitant to ask me. You can also PM me or contact me through AIM. My AIM handle is SanityLivesOn.

Bad news, folks. Sane Brain was a dupe account of a persistent ban evader that some of you may remember: "Simply Majestic" (a.k.a. SonicMan, The Unbreakable.)
As he is no longer capable of running this event, the Pokemon Draft will have to be restarted and mediated by someone else. I'd like for this not to cause diminished interest in the idea itself, as it was mine and not Sane Brain's. Of course, had it occurred to me sooner that Sane Brain was a dupe, I never would've tolerated his organizing the tournament. Perhaps under someone else's direction, this can proceed as anticipated, and without so many peculiar rules. Again, sorry to all would-be participants. Your patience is appreciated. Jam it back in, in the dark. |

I'll do it for the chance of having some enjoyment..... for a week.
Does any one want to take over when I'm done with this? There's nowhere I can't reach.

No, I think we're going to give the reigns to someone we know a little better.
This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it. |
Member 107 Level 33.47 Mar 2006 |
Well, that bites.
I'll have to rethink a few rules (I'm still not too fond of Sleep Clause 2.0.) And look over the scoring system again before I even think about taking over. So I'll need a day, maybe two. If any other regular player would like to pick up this tournament then please do! If you want to chat about it in private you can find me through AIM or MSN. Most amazing jew boots |

I might be interested in joining, depending on the new rules. Overly complicated crap like KOs being worth certain point values depending on base stats seemed to sap all the fun out of it.

Member 14 Level 54.72 Feb 2006 |
Perhaps I'll run this just to make sure it's done with minimal fuss. Complex modifiers based upon cumulative stats are needless. The field of selection is wide open; everyone has the same opportunity to draft wisely. This isn't like the Gym Leader's tourney in which people were forced to shoulder inherent disadvantages.
I figure that as long as people keep track of the usual statistics, we should be able to produce a winner. Simplicity is often the most elegant option. I'll post a revised thread tomorrow after work. What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now? |
