I will state the rules one last time WHEN I reveal the match ups. Any more questions will be at your own peril after that point. And I might have a 3rd party person handle the teams. Not sure yet. Maybe.

I'll likely be essay writing from now until the seventh, so my time windows for the tourney have shrunk to virtually nil. I'll still put up a prize if necessary, but I think I'm going to have to withdraw. If I surprise myself with productivity this week I'll post again.

The first rounds are on the 5/6th. Because of the odd number, there is an extra set of rounds. Actually, here's the table.



You start in the second round, so your first weekend will be the 12/13th. If you really can't stay in the tournament, all your spots will simply be forfeit.

Also, should restate the rules:

-No Level Cap
-Item Clause
-Sleep Clause
-Species Clause
-Self KO Clause
-Evasion Move Banned (Double Team & Minimize)
-OHKO Banned (Sheer Cold, Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, etc.)
-No Ubers (including Garchomp)

Also, I decided to not care about submitting Pokemon. So just do whatever.

YES! My first round is against Brendan! And Sleep Clause it on! I may stand a chance!
...Maybe.

And Item Clause is on, so RAngeet can stop bugging me. >_>

TOURNAMENT RULES, EXPLAINED


No Level Cap: Pokémon may be any level between and inclusive of 1 and 100.

Item Clause: No Pokémon may hold an item currently held by another Pokémon on the same team.

Sleep Clause: You may only intentionally and actively put one (1) of your opponent's Pokémon to sleep at a time. "Intentionally" means selecting a move which can only be used to place enemy Pokémon to sleep (e.g. Spore). "Actively" means that it's your opponent's own fault if more than one of his Pokémon falls asleep, either because of a Pokémon you control (e.g. if they choose to use a physical attack against a Pokémon of yours, and if your Pokémon has the ability Effect Spore, and if the opponent's Pokémon should then fall asleep) or because of Pokémon your opponent controls (e.g. they choose to use Rest on three different Pokémon of theirs in a row, none of which are holding a Lum or Chesto Berry).

Species Clause: You may not have two (2) or more Pokémon on your team that are the same species, regardless of other differences between them.

Self KO Clause: if both you and your opponent are down to your last Pokémon; and if a move or ability you control causes both of these Pokémon to faint; then you are automatically declared the loser of that battle. Under any other circumstances, you may freely use such moves or abilities. (e.g. Selfdestruct, Destiny Bond)

Evasion Move Ban: the use of moves which heighten the user's evasion is not permitted. (e.g. Double Team, Minimize) Abilities which heighten the user's evasion may still be used.

OHKO Move Ban: the use of moves which either miss or produce a OHKO is not permitted. (e.g. Fissure, Drill Horn, Guillotine, Sheer Cold)

No Übers: The following Pokémon are banned from the tournament:
  • Arceus
  • Darkrai
  • Deoxys (all forms)
  • Dialga
  • Garchomp
  • Giratina (all forms)
  • Groudon
  • Ho-oh
  • Kyogre
  • Latias
  • Latios
  • Lugia
  • Manaphy
  • Mew
  • Mewtwo
  • Palkia
  • Rayquaza
  • Shaymin (S Forme only)
  • Wobbuffet
  • Wynaut

Battles will take place next weekend. You guys arrange times between yourselves and such. Post who wins in this thread. Please be truthful and don't cause trouble or I'll just end the tournament right away.

Also, the prize is an Umbreon. Level 17, nothing fancy, has Pokerus and will be holding mail saying you won.

Yet again, I'm posting my Friend Code for good measure: 2793 8321 1050

I am free anytime after 12 noon EDT until roughly 12 midnight, maybe later if necessary.

Well, I did get them to join, if that's what you're wondering (btw, they're a girl).

We're supposed to post our FCs, correct?



PS: This was posted from my DSi. >_>

Well, unless there's another way to connect, I don't see any way around it. You can PM your opponent your FC if you want, but you may as well post it publicly seeing as how you will likely have at least 2 opponents in a double elimination tournament.

If you put one to sleep and he switches, you can't put another one to sleep. You can still attack though.

I don't exactly understand how Kind revealed your plan. Sleep Clause was in the rules since page 1 of this thread, which was 20 days ago, which was 10 days before I knew of your existence.

And as Treep said, you can put 1 guys to sleep, then attack. Unless you have 4 sleep inducing moves, which seems like an absolute waste of a Pokemon.

Not really. In fact, nothing much has changed.

Before you found out the news: your strategy was going to be, "I will put his Pokemon A to sleep. Then I will have to make a guess: will he switch them out for somebody else? or will he leave them in play? Depending on my guess, I will either use Hypnosis again or else I will use Dream Eater."

After you found out the news: your strategy is now going to be, "I will put his Pokemon A to sleep. Then I will have to make a guess: will he switch them out for somebody else? or will he leave them in play? Depending on my guess, I will either use a strategic attack that isn't Dream Eater -- for example, I might attack them, or I might boost my own stats, or I might choose to switch out myself -- or else I will use Dream Eater after all."

Nothing has significantly changed. It's still a 50/50 guess between two choices, one of them Dream Eater and one of them not. It's still a guess which depends entirely on predicting whether they will switch or not. Yes, I understand the subtle difference -- I understand that you were hoping to put two, three, four of their Pokémon to sleep at a time for a Dream Eater smorgasbord -- but realistically that wasn't going to happen anyway, so don't worry about it. Nothing [significantly] lost. You can still use the guy just fine.

Sorry we pointed out the major flaw in your strategy. Hope you figure out Psychic is like way better than Dream Eater.

Might be a bit short notice, but does anyone scheduled for the 12th/13th want to switch with me? This weekend won't be good for me. :V

Well, unfortunately, if no one can take your spot, it will have to count as a forfeit for that round, which is also bad if Muyo has to forfeit his first round. If you do have to forfeit it, you go into the second bracket. Also, I might swap Muyo and Talon so Eevee248 doesn't get 2 free wins.

Aside from that, has anyone set up their match? I know I haven't. Treep- what's your friend code? Times you're free?

EDIT: Also, can Eevee248 report in so we know you're around.
