The PokéCommunity Official OU Tournament III
 

The PokéCommunity: Official OU Shoddy Tournament


So, the Skye Cup Tournament was shut down because of the lack of interest and activity from its participants. Here's the next attempt~

This tournament is Shoddy only. Shoddy is an online battling simulator that can be downloaded here. Please download the program before participating if you haven't already.

The purpose of this tournament is similar to the first. To help jump start the competitive scene on the Pokécommunity and to serve as a model for other people's tournaments and how to run them. We were overall pleased with the first tournament, so here's to hoping this one is just as successful as the first.

Benefits of Joining

Here are some prizes that may attract your attention:

→ IV bred Pokémon
→ Shiny Pokémon
→ An Emblem for the winners of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
→ Your dignity, of course!

Disclaimer: You are only guaranteed the Winning Emblem and dignity. We will try our hardest to obtain the Pokémon prizes.

Please note that you will not get an emblem just for joining anymore.

Tournament Rules


→ Due to the incomplete Platinum updates on the PokeCommunity's Shoddy Server, the tournament will be held on Smogon's Shoddy Server. You can access the Smogon Server by clicking it in the welcome window as shown here. Under the circumstance that it does not appear in the welcome window, click the Advanced button and type in Host: smogon.com | Port: 50000

→ Please send the unedited battle log to one of the following people: Dark_Azelf, Anti, Regina George, or Cherii. The log should labeled like so: Round # - Name vs. Name (Score as Win-Loss). These are vital to getting your matches counted. If you are having a format issue when you open up your log, rename its file extension to .doc.

→ Scouting something that you should not engage in. Understand that it is severely frowned upon, but it can't be controlled; however if you are caught scouting any participant's team, you will be disqualified immediately. If any player playing their match wants you to leave, please do so.

→ Also, disconnections (AKA "leaving the room") will most likely count as a loss for the person who left unless you and your opponent can agree to a rematch if the connection was at fault (One of the tournament officials MUST be notified about this with 2 battle logs, the match in which the DC happened AND the rematch). If you disconnect and say nothing within a respectable period of time, it will count as a loss for you.

→ If a player feels that his opponent was losing and disconnected just so he could have a rematch to gain an advantage in said rematch please pm one of the tournament creators the battle log (which must be unedited) you feel was suspect and we will judge if there was going to be a clear winner at the time the disconnection took place. The tournament creators' decisions regarding disconnections are final.

→ The most important rule though is that you should only join if you are certain that you will be able to meet deadlines and actually finish your battle. Be sure you have a team ready to battle as well, otherwise you will be tempted to put off your match until the last minute, which never ends well.

→ The tournament works in the classic format. Total of 16 participants, randomly paired up, battle winner vs. winner of each round until there is one winner left. The remaining will be sent to battle in the Losers Bracket.


Required Clauses


Evasion Clause: Evasion Moves are banned (Double Team, Minimize etc).

Freeze Clause: Only one Pokémon per team may be frozen at any one given time.

OHKO Clause: OHKO Moves are banned (moves that faint a Pokémon in one hit such as Fissure and Sheer Cold).

Sleep Clause: Only one Pokémon per team may be forcibly put under the Sleep Status at any one given time, not including Rest users.

Species Clause: You may only use one of the same Pokémon per team. For example, you can use only one Charizard, but you may use a Charmander and/or Charmeleon too.

Strict Damage Clause: When the opposing Pokémon takes damage, Strict Damage Clause ensures that it won't give away items that the Pokémon holds based on how much damage the attacks do, just like on WiFi. The clause stops "It's super effective! Dunsparce lost 999% of its health!" This would give away that the Pokémon holds an attack-boosting item like a Choice Band or that it is heavily EVed in attack, or both. Strict Damage Clause instead changes the text to "It's super effective, Dunsparce lost 100% of its health" so that it won't give away items and EVs.

Self-KO Clause: If both players are down to one Pokémon each, you are not allowed to use a move that knocks out both Pokémon to force a tie (such as Explosion). If a recoil damage move forces a tie, then the Self-KO Clause does not trigger.

Ubers Clause: Since this is a tournament for the OU metagame, Uber Pokémon will be banned. Uber Pokémon include: Mewtwo, Mew, Wobbuffet, Lugia, Ho-oh, Wynaut, Latias (with Soul Dew), Latios (regardless of item choice), Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Deoxys (All forms), Garchomp, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Giratina-O, Manaphy, Darkrai & Arceus (all types), Shaymin-S (Sky forme).

Santa Clause: He's sexy.

GHASJDHAGUSFHAUJHTUAPUTHUPAHDFDHGDQA

Anyways, predictions time!

Jake™ vs calum?- Sorry, but I've seen Jake around a lot, and he looks to be pretty good. Don't know either of these guys that well though.
Volkner's Apprentice vs Tortured_Soul- Since T_S has been away for a while, he's gonna have to adapt to the Platinum metagame before getting through Volkner
Cherii vs ABYAY- hmmm, don't rlly know Cherii too well, and ABYAY is pretty solid.
Green Tea vs J-Rad- Californians are required to win XD
Skip Shot vs Dark_Azelf- (attempts to calm down) dhasjgshdahffadsagafd D_A is clearly better.
Wolflare vs Aurafire- hmm, another close matchup, haven't rlly seen either of you battle.
Archer vs Korova.- disputed again! Korova did pretty well in one of our earlier tourneys, but Archer did as well.
.vs Pokedra- Pokedra has given a lot of great advice, although I haven't seen him battle much.

Archer April 15th, 2009 7:06 AM

Jake™ vs calum?
- I've seen Jake around. I don't know Calum.
Volkner's Apprentice vs Tortured_Soul
- Sorry buddy, T_S was one of the best battlers in the past.
Cherii vs ABYAY
- I really don't know. Close.
Green Tea vs J-Rad
- Lala's got the knack for making great teams.
Skip Shot vs Dark_Azelf - :| Sorry Skippy. D_A > All
Wolflare vs Aurafire
- Aura gave me a right flogging last time around.
Archer vs Korova.
- This will be interesting. I've only fought Korova in UU.
. Vance vs Pokedra
- Sorry Pokedra. Vance is just damn good.

Please keep in mind these are all my guesses as to who will win. Don't be offended/dishearted by them.

Good luck everyone. See you on the dancefloor in the arena.

Awww.... Double Elimination again? That's such a mess, but I guess it's fair...

Cherii vs ABYAY- Go ABYAY!
Green Tea vs J-Rad- Make me proud, lover boy ;)

Wolflare vs Aurafire- To be honest, it could go either way, but Aurafire is good
Archer vs Korova.- Yes
.vs Pokedra- Good luck =]

Just here to say if D_A loses, I'm going to 6-0 Scarfchomp for being stupid. That is all.



Skip Shot April 15th, 2009 3:51 PM

Sorry Vance, its just that the few battles I've watched with you in them were usually poorly played on your part.

Oh, and the chances of D_A losing are very slim, since D_A can Uberstall out anyone.

OH BUDDY ONCE YOU GET ON SHODDY YOU'RE GONNA BE IN A HEAAAAAAAP OF TROUBLE.

Still betting that I vs. Archer, meaning Archer beats Korova. Although Korova can pull a sneak win.

Lalapizzame April 18th, 2009 3:42 PM

J-Rad won 1-0, gg. That paralysis screwed me up. @[email protected]

J-Rad April 18th, 2009 3:44 PM

Green Tea speaks the truth(I lol at all of you who said I would lose), log has been sent to anti. This also means I have to face ABYAY next, I've beaten him before on Wi-Fi, but that was only because he let my Dragonite get in 3 dragon dances and that was a while ago...

Volkner's Apprentice April 18th, 2009 4:29 PM

T_Soul hasn't responded to my VM on what times are good for him, I'm suspecting he's busy/making a Platinum team.

Archer April 18th, 2009 11:12 PM

Korova hasn't been online for two days and I'm just worried we won't get the chance to battle within the remaining 3 days if this keeps up.

EDIT: Okay, it's 3 days, now. That's a lot of time out of the week we have to do it in.

Calum. April 20th, 2009 1:16 PM

Doesn't really matter, since my Shoddy started acting up again. I totally believe that my Shoddy is cursed T_T. EVERY SINGLE TIME I SIGN UP FOR A TOURNEY IT DOES THIS. I figured out why, since my Shoddy fails with the metaserver. Oh well. I'm going to have to drop from this.

Azonic April 21st, 2009 4:05 PM

Mukkamoto will be subbing in for Skip Shot.

Nytkoi will be subbing in for Jake (seeing as he's gone until Thursday... should've read his post lol).

Nytkoi April 21st, 2009 4:27 PM

Yay! ^_^

I'm always on shoddy, calum, and after 3:30 PM Central time, I will most likely be on for at least 25 minutes. So contact me via PM/VM. Anything is fine.

Archer April 21st, 2009 4:30 PM

I don't see how I'm supposed to get this battle with Korova done. Because he was away for so long, I never got to find how different his timezone is. Besides, I've been online 12 hours a day for the last week, and I haven't been on at the same time once. Believe me, I'm trying.

I can't keep up this sort of activity for much longer, either and the deadline's up. I'm don't know.

Volkner's Apprentice April 21st, 2009 4:51 PM

T_Soul responded but we still didn't set a specific time so we'll see if it gets done by this weekend.

Dark Azelf April 22nd, 2009 10:48 AM

Well me and Mukka battled. I won even though i really cant be bothered anymore =_=

Good Game anyways bb~

I never see Korova online. If our battle is holding things up, feel free to do what you need to.

Ok, hopefully V-A and I can get a match done by the weekend, since he's online while I'm at school on weekdays.

Would T_S and I be able to do the match on Friday or Saturday? I'm just trying to figure out where our online hours might elapse so we can try it.

Jake♫ April 23rd, 2009 4:40 PM

I'm here now, so if I can take my spot back that would be good ^^

It's barely possible to get on at the same time..

Time timezones are just too different...

I'll stay on as long as I can tonight..And if we don't see each other then...We won't be able to get our battle done until next week..sooooo..

Azonic April 25th, 2009 12:07 PM

We gave you a large time extension already. Archer advances, Korova gets bumped down. Archer has been searching for a time this whole weekend.

Quote:

The most important rule though is that you should only join if you are certain that you will be able to meet deadlines and actually finish your battle.
Pairings for the next round will begin shortly.

Barney. April 25th, 2009 2:04 PM

uhhh...ok..

But it's not like I haven't been trying..I've been very active...I just missed 2 days.

Whatever.

What exactly do you want us to do? Wait for you to battle Archer? Yeah, this tournament isn't going to be held up any longer. Sorry, but even being gone two days (especially at the beginning) can really screw this up. It's not like we really have a choice =/

Anyway, Round 1 was sluggish and mildly painful...at best. If you whine about time zones a day or two before the deadline, we aren't going to do anything about it since it's your own fault lol (and we can't DO much about it either). We aren't going to grant extensions anymore unless we have a really good reason to...and not really because of Round 1 but just because a week is more than enough time to get a 10-minute skirmish out of the way.

Ársa April 25th, 2009 10:09 PM

I lost to Calum. He'll send the log.

I played so badly early on, and he was getting crits while I was getting misses =/ Probably didn't help that I posted my RMT. I didn't mean to use that team, so overall complete failure on my part.

GG's.

Calum. April 25th, 2009 10:13 PM

GG against Tortured Soul. 4-0 . ALthough there was only two haxes I remember were Xs move on a pokemon with a four times resistance which would have done nothing, and that Crit on pokemon X

Anyway Good Game.

ABYAY April 27th, 2009 8:13 AM

hmm....J-Rad hasn't been on for the past 4-5 days, so I fear this will be problematic.

Also, since I fear this tournament will drag into June, I will say that I go camping May 22nd - May 25th. Since I don't want to make any problems, I'll go ahead and say this; if I don't get my match done for that round by the time I leave, or if the deadline is a day after I return and I don't get it done, I'll resign unless I get a sub.

J-Rad April 27th, 2009 1:47 PM

lol, I've been checking the site, but not actauly logging on. I get to go on like 40 min before school, and if I'm lucky in Study Hall (I have it for an hour tommorow and friday so if I can get into the computer lab/library) then getting on at home can be a little problematic as my dad uses the laptop often, but I should be able to battle...

Here are the times in my time zone:

Before School: 7:00-7:40 am
Hour Long Study Halls: 7:45-8:45 am
After School: around 3:30-7:00 pm

Aurafire April 27th, 2009 1:50 PM

I beat Mukkamoto 1-0, really close match.

. April 27th, 2009 2:08 PM

ABYAY vs. J-Rad- Yes
Dark_Azelf vs. Wolflare- Yes
. vs. Archer- Good luck


Volkner's Apprentice vs Green Tea- Don't fail me, GT, or you'll be hurt.
Korova. vs Pokedra- I guess?

ABYAY April 27th, 2009 7:33 PM

well J-Rad, I have work everyday aside from this Thursday and Saturday, the only potential days we can do this match according to those times.

Meet me on the PC server on one of those 2 days between the 3:30 - 7.

Skip Shot April 27th, 2009 8:38 PM

ABYAY vs. J-Rad- Totally IMO
Dark_Azelf vs. Wolflare- This is D_A we're talking about. If she doesn't win= Apocalypse.
. vs. Archer- Sorry, but Vance is a lot better at battling IMO.


Volkner's Apprentice vs Green Tea- GT all the way.
Korova. vs Pokedra- I haven't seen Korova battle at all.

Time to jump on the PC server and watch (I still can't battle T_T)
