This may still allow for draws - I don't remember for certain - but I think there are official rules we can use to determine the winner in the case of a double KO (like with the last pokemon Exploding or both dying to Perish Song and such).

I may look that up and post what I find since Saturday morning shifts are always slow.

EDIT: I've confirmed that ending a battle by having your last pokemon Explode will cause you to lose.
I think you can win a battle by having your last pokemon use Perish Song when your opponent only has one pokemon left, but I couldn't confirm that.
No idea what happens if both players' last pokemon are KO'd by weather/poison/burns in the same round. I guess that would have to be a draw.

They're not talking about draws in single matches, but for total points. Competitors receive points based on the results of their battles- if there's a tie in points when all players have fought each other, then there must be a tie breaker battle.

The idea about giving two days for each battle isn't bad, but if we do that, I have to drop out- I'm leaving the state on Monday, and won't be back for about a week and a half. Internet access is highly unlikely

I respectfully disagree.

I was thinking maybe using a points system as well, 2 points to the winner, 1 point for a draw or forfeit, and 0 for a loss.

[Amethyst]

I was referring to what monkey was saying asking about the tiebreaker round and assumed you were too. Whoops. Though re-reading it, I'm not sure what the relevance is of a forfeit person in that scenario...

[Hyperlisk]

That's what I mean. I'm not sure how to handle forfeits, if it is spread out. Otherwise, anyone not on tonight will just auto-lose.

[Stars]

You mean tomorrow night, I hope. =o

[Kamau]

So, uh... A lot of people are yelling at me for not being in this. :/ Can/should I throw a team together and just go with it?

[Stars]

I haven't been yelling at you. D=
Just strongly noting your lack of registering. =p

I can help you transfer pokemon if you need. You should join us~ (We have cookies. Lava cookies.)

[Amethyst]

Call me biased because I can't do it if it's spread out, but personally, I think we should stick to trying to get it all done tomorrow, or maybe even allow it to start tonight. People were told it would be around the 23rd, and we should have done our best to plan around it. There may be a few forced by's, but ultimately, I think it'll work best if we all set aside a few hours tomorrow night, do what we can in the meantime, and just gitterdun.

I think we might be over-thinking this though. In fact, give me just a few minutes and I'll mock something up.

Oh, right, today's Saturday... lol.

I agree. I'd much rather it all get done in one day.

Also, I remember I'd seen your point system before. It was used into the Silver Conference of the Johto League:

Ash just saved the League opening ceremony, and now all the league competitors are at the hall lobby, looking at the screen displaying the tournament brackets. Ash notices he’s supposed to battle a girl. They also explain about the “Victory Points” system, which the league uses, where they give 3 points for every win, 0 for every loss, and 1 for every draw, and if there’s a draw, whoever has more points proceeds.

That said, should we stick with 2 for a win, or go for a the traditional 3?

[Amethyst]

Scoreboard!



Any chance, I could regain access to the FTP and host it on here so we don't have to rely on imageshack? Plus it can be so much more conveniently updated that way

Oh, fancy, I hadn't known that. 3 sounds good. I don't think 2 or 3 will matter much since ours is much smaller scale, so either way'll probably work.

Nice, that looks much better than anything I could have made. *Makes you an FTP account without asking Monkey*

[Amethyst]

Alright, all's good. I've updated Hyper's first post with the scoreboard (note the one on this page will NOT update), and it can also be found at
http://monkeypro.net/bear/mphgss.png

Because not some of us are using DP, we can't necessary rely on the battle-recorder, which means I think it's best if battles are logged manually, as we have done in the past. All battles should be logged, so I opened a topic for those to be posted in, right here.

I'm not sure if Kamau has sent in her registration, but as soon as Hyper posts the registered teams, I see no reason why we shouldn't be able to start asap, and then cut it off at Monday. Does anyone have any problems with this?

[Hyperlisk]

Sounds good to me. So everyone, as soon as you can, hop on the IRC. I'll update the first post with teams right now.

[Amethyst]

One day, seven fighters, and twenty battles later, the tournament draws to a close. Here is the final scoreboard:




Myself and Starstorm have tied for first, but as I can't stay around to play a tiebreaker, and as he soundly defeated me within the tournament, I'm conceding first place to him, therefore:

1ST PLACE CHAMPION: StarstormVGN
2ND PLACE: AmethystStorm
3RD PLACE: Monkeydog

Congratulations to the winners, and thanks to all who participated. An additional thanks to Hyperlisk for organizing this in the first place, and soon for creating the prizes.

I'm leaving very soon, so I'll answer with my request for a prize when I return in about a week and a half- before then I'd like to ask to what degree we're allowed to specify (like, are we allowed to say what moves we want on it/level/ev's/iv's such or it just getting something from that species?)

I've been wondering this as well.

That aside, I finally got to read the log for Uxie vs. BottomGuy. That was a surprisingly epic Shuckle battle.

(Psst, Hyperlisk's total score is wrong.)

[Amethyst]

Yes. Yes it is. Thank you for doing basic addition when I cannot. It's fixed.

[BottomGuy]

Just imagine what Shuckle could have done with the support of some good Pokemon, unlike Delibird (Who never attacked) and Ditto (Who never attacked after Transforming). Even though I didn't really win any matches, Shuckle made a bunch of people sweat which I'm proud of.

Get as detailed as you want. Just send your prize requests to me by PM and I'll fulfill them as I get time.
