UPN Pokemon Tournament

[Talon87]

For those who like a cleaner-looking chart. Those artifacts were really starting to get on my nerves, and while the little text notes help fill out the chart, they were too much info. So I cut 'em out. Here you go.

[Loki]

It only works because we are entering the phase where people eliminated will be gone for good except in the Morg vs. Emp match coming up.

[LeafeonBloom]

Sorry guys, I wasn't able to get on my DS at the time me and Eevee agreed on. ;_;

But we'll try to do it tomorrow. I hope I'll be able to get on...

[Talon87]

Whoever wins the Morg vs. Empoleon Dynamite match-up is going to have one heck of a waiting period, the way this chart is designed.

Might I suggest we dispense with the once-weekly match-ups starting next week? And instead just have the competitors face-off whenever they're ready? If we do not, the winner of the winner's bracket will not play the winner of the loser's bracket for three-and-a-half weeks.

It seems like players are doing a rather poor job of agreeing to play on Saturdays or Sundays anyway due to schedule differences; and the only reason originally for picking a weekend match-up schedule was, as I was told, because "people across the world have different schedules so the weekends are the only fair time where people are off of work/school and can stay up late." And yet, ironically, that logic seems to have petered out completely as we see more and more matches taking place during the work week. So scrap it, I say, and let's bump the matches up so we can crown our winner sooner.

Well, it's 7pm his time right now. Maybe he'll be back after dinner.

[Loki]

Sadly no one from the 2nd Bracket has fought yet. /sigh/

Anyway, Empoleon and Morgoth can choose to fight next weekend and wait 3 weeks >>

Or you can delay it to the weekend after. That way your next round is only 2 weeks away >>

EDIT: Yeah, so I finally got around to Talon's post. I have no problem with people just arranging to quickly handle their matches right away and climb through the trees to the finals/semi-finals. But I'm going to enforce a 1-week disqualification so people can't stall forever.

[Treepandaone]

I'm back now, had work to do.

[brandan]

ahhhhhhhhhh i missed him ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Talon87]

Yeah, well, it's 10:27pm in the UK now. Good luck.

[Kindrindra]

I notice you're both on right now.

Unless one of your cookies havn't refreshed.

[Treepandaone]

I PMed him 30 minutes ago asking for the battle. He said 10 minutes and I gave him my FC. He hasn't replied.

I haven't got that long as I've got an early morning tomorrow.

[Kindrindra]

He might be already on.

I'll ask him what's up.

[Treepandaone]

It's okay, he said his wireles went dead but I had enough time.

Treepandaone vs. Brandan = Treepandaone [1-0]

Good game, little hax for both but in the end it turned out to be equal.

[brandan]

well good game i almost had you i should have switched but i took a risk fails for me.

[Loki]

Still looking for results from LeafeonBloom and Eevee248. If my match with Muyo on Thursday (tomorrow) happens first, there will be some problems.

[Muyotwo]

I will be ready this evening (EST) at all times during which Futurama is not showing.

[Talon87]

Kids, just to warn you: your time's almost up. Loki and Muyo are about to play. If you haven't fought each other yet, do so immediately and let us know now. If you have already fought, will the winner please report in? It'd be a shame for either of you to be disqualified because you didn't make it on time.

[Talon87]

Here is the updated tournament bracket, reflecting tonight's results. As per Morgoth's request, I have paid closer attention to the link code: the thumbnail directs you to just the image.

[Loki]

Okay. I just had my match with Muyo. GG man. Was on edge the whole time. I won on luck with that last second wake up.

Anyway, the rest of you I am rather disappointed in. Unable to battle before myself and Muyo. As punishment, you must write a 1000 word essay posting it in this thread and explain why you haven't battled and why I should be merciful. If your essay moves me, I will spare you from the ban hammer.

Not joking btw. Do it!

[The Morg]

Heh, two monotype teams face off....

...and Emp wins 6-0. =3=

[Talon87]

Here is the updated tournament bracket, assuming no defenses filed on the parts of Eevee248 or Leafeon. This chart could very well change in the next 24 hours if Loki hears back from them, they hold their match, and Loki accepts it into the tournament.

Congratulations, empoleon dynamite! You've locked 2nd Place and can only go up from here! Kudos!

Morgoth is the reigning player of the Loser's Bracket. Will he walk away with 3rd place? Or will he face off against empoleon dynamite once more? :o Only time will tell!

[Kindrindra]

I asked Eevee and Leafeon about what was taking them. They weren't able to get WiFi (location issues. That's what you get for having divorced parents), but they begged me to ask if they could do it first thing tomorrow, as they couldn't on the computer, seeing as, lacking exams, they don't have as much free time as me.

[Loki]

Since I'm busy this weekend >.>;

I still expect essays though.

[Kuno Fan]

WHOAH!!!! IT WAS SO CLOSE!!!!! 1-0. Intense.... Oh yeah! I won Whoop! Good game, LeafeonBloom!
