*▲* New Year's Tournament *▲*
DO NOT COME HERE AND GET MAD AT ME FOR CROSSING YOUR NAME OFF. IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR NOT 1) READING THE RULES OR 2) SHOWING UP IN TIME FOR THE DATES. New Year’s Tournament Welcome to the New Year’s Tournament! Zungie’s Christmas Clash inspired me to create this tournament. I will be using the same set-up that he has so that there won’t be a huge change between the two tournaments. The reason for this being posted so early is because we have to fill 32 spots by December 26th (the day after the Christmas Clash ends). Rules• Watch this thread attentively. Dates may change at any time without notice. • Make sure that you have access to Wi-fi and provide your Friend Code either in your signature or your public profile (in other words, don’t just post it and expect people to go looking for it) • Speak truthfully about wins and losses. If two competitors cannot agree, you will both be disqualified and the liar will have to deal with the guilt. • Follow Clauses. • Battles will take place as 6v6 Singles. Even Heats will be like this because 3v3 battles require no strategy. • No battling others in this thread. Only post if you are in the tournament or are interested. • Don't make posts saying "For the record, I PM'd my opponent." Those in my eyes are pointless posts and clutter up the thread. If you feel you really have to tell someone, PM me. Clauses• Hax Clause – No using the following items: Quick Claw, Bright Powder, Kings Rock, and similar effect items. • Sleep Clause – Only one pokemon can be asleep on either side. Rest is the only exception which the user has brought about himself/herself. • Evasiveness Clause – No using Minimize or Double Team. • OHKO Clause – No using one hit knock out moves, such as: Fissure, Sheer Cold, Guillotine, and Horn Drill • Hacked Pokemon Clause – No hacked pokemon. Self-explanatory. • Uber Clause – No using ubers. A list of ubers: Mewtwo, Mew, Wobbuffet, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Latias, Latios, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Deoxys (all forms), Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Manaphy, Darkrai, Arceus • Legendary Clause – I’m changing this one a bit, instead of no legendaries, you may have at max one legendary.

Since most people will be up until midnight, you should have fun battling. Also if you're fast enough, you can put together another pokemon or two to help your team if you've noticed weaknesses in it. Also if you weren't able to do your Final Four battle on the 30th, then that day is your chance to complete it. **Dates subject to change. ***If you don't post and state the round you made it to, you will not receive your prize. PrizesJoining: For joining you get egg of your choice* Quarter Finals: Egg Moved poke of your choice* Semi-finalist: One EV-Trained pokemon of your choice Final Four: Three EV-Trained pokemon of your choice Second Place: A full team of EV-Trained pokemon of your choice. Winner: A full team of EV-Trained pokemon of your choice with items for each pokemon of your choice. *If someone could help provide these eggs that’d be helpful. I am not able to breed every single pokemon or egg move every single pokemon so I will need help if those who can make it that far get anything. Also you for the egg moved pokemon, you don't really get a "choice" I guess you could say. Our egg move breeders will give a list of what they have and then you can choose whichever one you want off that list. DonorsLil-Dill - Normal egg breeder (for joining). classicrockfan - Egg moved pokemon (for making it to quarters). SHP133 - Egg moved and Normal eggs evilcheese - EV trainer TDB_leader - EV trainer xxspeedy101 - EV trainer Thank you for helping out. ^^ EnjoyEnjoy the tournament and Happy New Year! ^^ ~desu Saba~ |
You know I'm ready. Sign me up.
|
Ok, I'll compile a list and once we have 32 contestants, I'll post the Bracket. I'm glad this is doing well so far. ^^
~desu Saba~ |
Looks good.
Count me in. Details are in sig. |
I'm in. FC in sig. I'm hard at work copying my shoddy team onto wi-fi. I got lucky with my Hidden Powers :D
|
5/32 spots filled. ^^
By the way, you may not receive your prize on January 1st because it will take a while to EV train 10 pokemon. xD As for the egg pokemon, after you lose out of the quarters and semi's just post here which pokemon you want. ~desu Saba~ |
Hey I can help breed the pokemon but only for the eggs because Im not really sure about the egg moved pokemon. So Im only doing eggs, if I can.
|
Hey, I'd like to battle in this.

~desu Saba~ |
Ummm....Im not that good but...
OK! Ill try my best. I would laugh if I make it to like the quarter finals or something. |
To reach the quarters you only have to win one match. And I myself am not very good. But I'm working on a new team (still IV BREEDING! 8 days now. xD) that I think will do well, since it has all the components for a balanced team. My current team is just some of my favorite pokemon thrown together.
~desu Saba~ |
Here comes a stupid question. Whats 'heats'?
|
Quote:
Elekid 36 Shiny Charizard 36 Pupitar 46 Torterra 65 Gyarados 70 Staraptor. 80 |
Levels don't matter since they'll all be automatically set to level 100.
Heats are just beginning battles to root out half the people. Like the beginning of most tournaments. Are there any banner/userbar makers who can make one for this tourney? (I'd prefer a userbar myself) ~desu Saba~ |
I suggest killing that team and making another one really fast Lil..
Once again, whats 'heats'? So..heats=preliminaries. Thanks. |
Hahaha, yeah revealing teams can be a drawback, although those who visit the strategy area know my entire team/sets. xD You might want to get new pokemon. Go to the strategy area and go to the request a team thread (stickied). And request a team. If you have a specific pokemon you like a lot, you can ask them to center it around that one pokemon.
~desu Saba~ |

I dont think I can participate and well I dont see the point because my team has been revealed........stupid me... |

EDIT: I think I would be better off behind the scenes of helping the tournament. Besides Im not doing anything important during the winter break...was going to go to south carolina but then didnt want to go :P...So yea Im better off helping. |
You have four days to prepare (a lot more than it may sound). I'm gonna have to work fast but since I have a lot of time now I should be fine. But if you don't want to participate, I can't stop you.
~desu Saba~ |
looks good so count me in.
|
The coloring on the bracket is just so it's easier to see who you're facing. I was trying to figure out how to highlight and entire line, but I couldn't get it to work.
Welcome _Prince_ ~desu Saba~ |
Are you planning on getting a username change? Thanks though. ^^
Time to work on my team....*sigh* xD I have two teams to work on, and then after the tournament I gotta work on 10 pokemon. This'll be tough, but oh sooo worth it. ~desu Saba~ |

|
I would like to participate in this tournament.
|
Welcome ^^ I've added you to the list.
Lil-Dill, I'm glad you decided to battle. 9 people first day. I can't wait till it starts. xD I'm open to suggestions for rules changes, prize changes, ect. ~desu Saba~ |
The notorious Mr. S shall join this little gathering as well.
|
k im in lol and visit me!
|
hey can i be in?
FC is in the trainer card in the sig. |
May i join this tournemant aswell?
i will put my friend code in my signature right now. |
Count me in on this ^_^ since the Christmas Clash seems like it died.>.<
|
Wow, almost half the spots filled in half a day! (more like 5 hours though, which means the other side of the world still can join like crazy while I'm asleep. xD)
Hurry people join! Spots are filling fast and I am not adding anymore spots to the bracket. If I did, I'd have to double the thing and it won't meet the deadline plus it'll ruin the way I have this tournament set up. So join quickly! ~desu Saba~ |
I'd like to participate! Hehe...
|
I might as well join, and I can get egg moved pokemon to help also since I am able to get most pokemon.
ingame name- JOHNNY FC-2792 7263 5679 |
I'll add you to the donor list classicrockfan! ^^ Thanks for the generous offer.
~desu Saba~ |
By the way, are we fighting the person across from us like the Christmas chash? (such as 1 vs 17, 2 vs 18)
|
oh yah i can help breed eggs.
|
You can bring me into this one. Someone who knows that 6v6 > 3v3 is awesome!
|
Get me in this =P
I got some new Pokemon in my team now so hopefully I can get out the 1st round for once! |
im in, sounds fun :D
filllllleeeeeerrrr |

Ok, tournament starts in 4 days. Prepare your team and practice if you wish. ~desu Saba~ |
Quick question:
December 29th Semi-Finals December 30th Final Four Are these not the same thing? Or are there 2 rounds of four? |
No they aren't. Here's my math/logic:
32/2= 16 16 make it to quarters. 16/2= 8 8 Make it to Semi-Finals 8/2= 4 4 Make it to Final Four 4/2=2 2 Make it to Finals 2/2=1 1 Wins. I understand that they shouldn't be called Semi-finals, but they'll just stay that way. ~desu Saba~ |
lol Sabaku, don't get down on yourself so early. Anything can happen in a battle.
Of course, you might want to spread out the times a little bit. The same thing can happen here as in the match with my friend Venomancer and Sk8. |
You got a point there, but I'd like the finals to be on January first, but I say we should take a vote.
If you want the dates to be more spread out, vote for it. If you want them to stay the same and the tourney to finish up on New Year's Day, vote for it. ~desu Saba~ |
Most people are probably visiting family and such around New Year's, so I think for the sake of those people, it should be extended.
My vote's for extension. |
You're right. Maybe it should start on New Year's? But heats last from 26-31st? That way people have a long time to get the first battle in? Or should it start later?
If we started on the 26th and finished heats on the 31st, it'd be nearly a week to finish heats. ~desu Saba~ |
Sign me up =) I'm always looking to get owned
|
I just MIGHT join this, I am getting a new USB today... lets please hope to god this one actually keeps working for at least one month.. PLEASE
EDIT: Count Glisctillery in too, I know he'd want to join |
I'm glad to hear that Name. ^^ I've added both of you to the bracket.
Wait, how many USB things have you gone through now? xD I had one that lost connection right before I could connect, but then I figured out that we had a router. xD ~desu Saba~ |
I'm up to two. my first USB thingy just stop working when I was in Japan. I didn't really feel like attempting to get another one there V_V;
|
normal eggs (with decent IVs) and some egg moves so both really.
|
Sign me up.

I'll add you to the list. And there is no point in posting your friend code. The rules clearly state that it has to be in your profile or signature. That's so it's easy for people to find your friend code.
~desu Saba~ |
Yo. Do you want me to start breeding pokemon from now. Because I already have a box full of pokemon.
O wait. Im breeding eggs...Ok. So do you want me to breed eggs starting from now? |
Here's you task for normal egg breeding. Once 16 people fail out of the tournament (after the heats) they will post their scores (like 6-6 pokemon) and what pokemon they want as their breeded prize. So you can't start breeding until after the heats.
EDIT: This was confusing. I didn't know what I was trying to say. Just don't start breeding yet. I'll tell you when. Another thing. The tournament will start on New Year's Day. This is for the reason that ABYAY said, and so people have more time to prepare teams. More spread out dates will make it easier to get battles in. Another thing. I don't want people coming here say "For the record, I PM'd blah blah and he/she hasn't replied yet. What do I do?" I don't need to know that you PM'd them. You do that on your own, and if battle results aren't up by the last date of whatever round, the inactive member is knocked out of the tournament. If neither of the opponents reply in time, they are both knocked out. That will create an uneven bracket. But I have a solution for this. The person who lost a match with the closest match goes through. Let's say there was a battle and the final score was 6-0. Obviously the person with 6 goes on. And another match ended at 1-0. Since that match was closer, both of those two would go through. If this ends up happening, I'll explain further. ~desu Saba~ |
Ok just to let you know, is that I dont might not have every single pokemon so what if someone requests a pokemon I dont have? Then what?
|
Well if you don't have it, and I don't have it, and SHP doesn't have it. Then we'll have to ask them to request something else.
~desu Saba~ |
OOO!
That seems soo easier...Why didnt I think of that... |
I should also add Sabaku, that people have school, so if someone tries to play someone say in Germany or in Europe in general, it'll be difficult. Those will have to wait until weekends.
|
Yeah, xP This tournament is gonna take forever, but it will work. I'm still debating with myself when the dates will be. (which is why they aren't changed yet) Like how long each round I should give. A week so that there is a weekend for battles in each round? Or 3-4 days just so it goes faster? I like the first more, that way there are no default wins.
~desu Saba~ |
Hey I'd like to join if possible. I can help with a few things, whatever really needs done. Just Pm me if you have anything specific you wish for me to do. Thx.
|
Awesome. An entire month. Hopefully that will be enough time for everyone to get their battles done and keep the list updated.
|
i guess i'll try this out....sign me up
|

Welcome you two. ^^ And PlayaFritz, I might need help EV training. I've got to change the prize thing up a bit because I think there might be a flaw. (Second place gets nothing I think it is.) *Prize Section Update* Winner gets: Full team of EV with items for each pokemon. (Maybe something else too, haven't figured it out yet) Second Place: Full team of EV trained. ~desu Saba~ |
How about giving the participants the choice of whether they want their pokemon EV trained or not? I prefer to EV train my Pokemon myself, and I'm sure others do too.
The current prizes mean you have a hell of a lot of training to do, so asking the prize recipient if they want it EV trained or not will certainly cut your workload somewhat =) |
Yeah, but I doubt they won't want it EV-trained. xD I'll ask anyway, good suggestion though. ^^ (I would personally like it EV-trained too. xP)
~desu Saba~ |
Hey sorry for being inactive, I usally hang out on another forum, so the date has been pushed back , is there anything else I should know?
|
There's a prize update, other than that, no. ^^ That's fine though, just make sure to check this thread often because dates and such will change without notice (I think we're set though)
~desu Saba~ |
OMG please lemme join!!! :) I'd love to join!
EDIT: This looks like you've put a lot of effort into this. It's very well organised ^_^ |
ok right meow im raising pokemon so when the time comes i'll be prepared for egg moved pokemon. just thought i'd give you an update on my breeding.
|
Quote:
Gotcha, but I don't think you should start really. We don't know what the 8 people want. (Quarters participants) so you might be wasting your time breeding. >.< They may not want what you have, but when the time comes we have to tell them that they can't get "any" pokemon they want. xD ~desu Saba~ |
i would like to join. i just got my wifi usb connector so i get to play.
|
Does this mean I battle Lady Nicole?
|
It appears so sims. xD We need more members! Wyahhh! Good thing it didn't start yesterday, I wasn't even home.
~desu Saba~ |
OH HELL NO. I GOT NAME...WHY...

|
Heya!
I havn't read the whole post yet, but it's nice to know you got something from the Crimbo Clash. Sorry that my lack of organisation (and complete bad luck) prevented you from starting on-time, but if i't still OK, I'd like to join. HOPEFULLY my tourney should be finished by about the 2nd, earilier if we're lucky. Anyway, see you in due time, and I can't wait to start battling. |
Welcome you two. Rasendori2, I added you to the list last night. xP
From now on when you ask to join, if there are spots open, you got in. Check the bracket to see if you're there, if not, I'm not on to update it. We're getting close to New Year's. ^^ Prepare your team (I only have one finished, I've been Slaking (pun intended) all Christmas break.) ~desu Saba~ |
I'm almost done with a pokemon of mine, out of like 6. I've been Slacking Off... BAHAHAHA! *hit with a building* Anyway, just PM me whenever things get officially going.
|
If you still need to fill up those last two spots, im sure i could battle for this prize. I have an old team i can bring back to battle.
|
3 spots open? I hope I could get a match in before the 3rd, when I go back to school, and have no time. Other than that, I'll join.
|
hey silver u wanna battle?
|
Quote:
3 days people. We need one more person! ~desu Saba~ |
ill sign up if you got any spaces open.
|
The PM is only to make sure you havn't forgot.
Also, I don't know who'll face me, but for now you should be shaking in your boots! :D |
Quote:
|
hey could i donate some eggs? coz i got nothin better to do
|
Quote:
Its at Sabakus discrection I guess :) |
Quote:
|
lucario, that'd be great! ^^ But sadly you can't join the tournament due to the spots all being filled up already. =[ If you still feel like donating, just PM me what you can breed, egg moved or not, and I'll add you to the Donor's list.
????, that's too bad. =[ I hope you get back in time because I don't like people dropping out of tournaments just because their team isn't ready. Mine is still only 1/6 complete...I gotta work on my special sweeper next. Special walls are a pain against my team. You face the person across from you. That's why I put one row black, then alternated to red, so it's easier to find the person across from you. After that I'll figure out a design. 2 More days, and good luck to all of you. ^^ LAST SPOT IS FILLED! If you ask to join, your post will be ignored. EV trainers and breeders are welcome though. ~desu Saba~ |
I can donate sincei know how to clone , are cloned pokes acceptable?
|
wow, i just barly made the cut good for me ^^
|
So the tournament has started?...
Or it will. I cant remember when its supposed to start... |
