Dragonair The First Ever UPN FF Tournament: Everyone wussed out!

So, we have had the FF thread for quite a while, and now that Gen VI has rolled around, I'd like for us to have a little bit of a welcoming party for it. We are going to be hosting a tournament~

This is going to be an For Fun metagame tournament, and everyone is invited~ You can check the thread if you want to know what Pokemon are allowed~

Sign-ups are occurring for the next week, until the 20th at 9:30 A.M. EST. This should give everyone enough time to sign up. We can also agree on a tournament format. Also, once we get enough members I will post DA RULES.

Tournament Bracket is here.

Round 2 will end on January 16th. An extension can be given to the 19th.

Also, if you so wish to, you can complete later round matches earlier. There is no limit on that, otherwise this tournament would probably take a month to do.

Da rules:

First off, the clauses, the stuff we should be battling with:
Sleep Clause: No intentionally putting more than one Pokemon to sleep at a time. Rest does not count.
Species Clause: Only one of each specie is allowed.
Item Clause: Every item is limited to two per team.
Evasion Clause: No Double Team or Minimize.
OHKO Clause: No OHKO moves.
Moody Clause: No Moody.
Shell Smash + Baton Pass: Cause Diggersby is a bitch enough as it is.
Snow Cloak and Snow Warning are not allowed on the same team.

Now, for how the tournament will go. This is tentative at the moment, but right now we have...15 people. It is up to you whether or not you want Round Robin, Single Elimantion, or Double Elimination. But I will try to have one thing happen: all tournament matches are matches. Best 2 out of 3. This is quite a bit better than who wins one match, because hax does exist here and I don't want to see a battle lost because of one Fire Blast miss. In fact, no one does.

Other than that, there is no strict rules otherwise then what is common sense. I will however have some...disciplinary actions listed out should someone break the rules. (I'm feeling quite Monokuma today :3)

Your team contains a Pokemon not allowed in the FF tier: Instant match loss. I will not tolerate this. We have a very nice list in the first post of our thread. The same will occur if you are found using a different team. Make sure that the team you play your first match with is the one you will play with. No changes or edits may be done after your first match.

Violation of one of the Clauses: It depends really. If someone accidentally uses Spore twice, then I really can't bring it against them, but 5 or 6 times? Yeah no, game loss for you. Species Clause follows under the same vein as the above, an instant match loss. Basically, as a rule of thumb: if it is something that involves team building, its a match loss. If its something that involves gameplay, its a game loss(most of the time anyways.)

Also, I want this to be civil, so I don't want any insulting out of anybody here, unless its me. :3 Likewise, no teasing your opponent either. I don't think we should have to be worried about that though.

Finally, we DO NOT need to be hiding our replays from each other. If you wish to do so or to not partake in watching a replay, that's perfectly fine by you, but this isn't meant to be too competitive. Plus, I myself might need to sit in on matches(note: I may randomly sit in on your match) in response to potential issues. This also brings up the point that I am also competing. So, this is a good compromise in my eyes.

Finally, we need to discuss battle schedules. This is a big case in most of the tournaments because people say they are going to battle and then never do it. Each round will have a week deadline to get the replay in. If you cannot get to battling within that week deadline, you can request to have your match's deadline extended...I dunno let's say three days. You get to do this ONCE PER ROUND. If a battle crosses over the deadline with no extensions or replays, then the winner will be decided by a Livestream'd RNG roll, unless it is a clear case where one person was being delinquent.

That should be it, be sure to give me what tournament style you want~

AS DECIDED BY THE POLL, THIS WILL BE A ROUND ROBIN TOURNAMENT.

It depends. When is this? I'm visiting my grandma at certain times of winter break so no internet for a few days' stretch.

But if it's when I'm available then sure I'd love to.

>sign ups until the 23rd
Why don't you just have a set number of participants like usual?

Well, Blaze and I talked about a tournament on Skype and 16 should ideally be the limit, but we also thought it's unlikely we will even hit 16 so
And as below says, if more, all the better, we''ll figure out a format ^^

Because I don't want to lock anybody else.

And it should be sometime in January if you are having internet problems during winter break, I don't want to have to wait for people that might never post...again.

"Problems?" No, Grandma doesn't have internet, and I have a wedding to attend elsewhere.

If you're aiming for a single-elimination tournament to be held on a date where I'm not available, then no. Can't, sorry.

If you're aiming for a round-robin tournament that's spread out over winter break? (a more practical option thanks to timezones) That's just fine.

A week is a really long time, though. I'd recommend toning it down so we can start sooner - 3 days minimum if you "don't want to lock anybody else" but a week seems excessive.

It's called corruption my dear child~

No, I wouldn't. Though tournaments are a great way to gather information about other Pokemon.
