PokéCommunity OverUsed Tournament - Congratulations to Sweep!
 



Introduction
Welcome to the PokéCommunity OverUsed Tournament!

The PC OU Tournament is a single elimination XY OU tournament that will crown PC's best OverUsed battler. The aspiration of this tournament is to become something of a competitive tradition here at PC. Most tournaments are just for fun, and while that is healthy for a casual battling community like PC, Pokemon is a competitive game. Casual tournaments make losing less of a big deal, but the same could be said about winning. The goal is to make winning this tournament mean something.

Rules
• The Tournament's format is standard XY OU according to Smogon's tier list, which can be found here. In order to stay true to the goal of this tournament, the format is as simple as possible.
NOTE: Currently, the tier is in a time of transition, which means that the official tier lists could change while the tournament is happening. In case that happens, the rules will stay consistent throughout the tournament. If Aegislash or something else is banned during the tournament but after it begins, it will be legal for the remainder of the tournament.
• Please do battles on either the Smogon or PokéCommunity Pokemon Showdown! servers.
• Please abide by the following battle clauses: Team Preview Clause, Battle Timer Clause, Sleep Clause, Evasion Clause, OHKO Clause, Species Clause, Soul Dew Clause

Sportsmanship
• Do not taunt or disrespect opponents or other tournament participants. If it breaks forum and server rules about respect, it's not okay for this tournament either.
• No one likes hax. If you miss three Focus Blasts in a row, remember that your opponent didn't rig the RNG. Be respectful about this or you will be disqualified, as per my judgment (or Wolf's or Zeffy's judgment should my neutrality be in question). It's competitive, but it's also just a game.
• Do not scout or counter-team your opponent. You will be disqualified if you are suspected of doing this and there is convincing evidence, as per my judgment (with the same caveat as before).
• If there is a DC, you may replay the match with either the same teams or different teams, a choice made by the user who did not DC. If victory was assured, the match will not be replayed in fairness to the would-be winner.

Format
• This is (still) a single elimination XY OU tournament.
• The tournament bracket will be determined randomly each round. The tournament's size with be the highest multiple of sixteen possible, rounding down, with anyone else becoming subs in case someone must drop out.
• Each round will last for exactly five days. Completing matches is an expectation, so do not join if you are not completely certain that you will be able to complete your matches. No extensions will be granted. The winner of unfinished battles will be the more active player.
NOTE: Failing to complete matches ruins the competitive integrity of the tournament. Things can come up, so if you need a sub, don't wait until a day before the deadline to tell us.
• When signing up, please indicate that you are joining while including what Showdown alt(s) you use so that opponents can identify you.

Anti July 27th, 2014 7:36 PM

We have sixteen sign-ups now. I'll give it a few more days to get subs and see if there's a shot that we get to 32, which I doubt, but we'll wait and see for now. Thanks to everyone for signing up!

Also, Aegislash will be permissible for this tournament regardless of the suspect test result. If there are major objections, I'll reconsider, but that's the decision I have come to.

wolf July 28th, 2014 11:01 AM

I'll sign up as a sub. I wouldn't have a big problem with being a regular participant either, but I'm not 100% sure if I'll be able to dedicate enough time towards this.

Time zone is EDT (UTC -4).

Sonata July 30th, 2014 5:45 PM

In. Utc -4

Name is same as here.

Anti July 31st, 2014 11:01 PM

I'm a little hesitant to proceed with two subs, but I also don't want to prolong it too long, so I'm going to go ahead and post Round 1, which is as follows:

enigmα. vs. Isaac
Hasse vs. Brendon McCullum
Crobatrulez20 vs. Troye
Anti vs. Zeffy
Antemortem vs. Sweep
Antebellum vs. Retribution
Shrew vs. srinator
Zekrom vs. InfiniteAffinities

Round 1 will end on August 6th, so be sure to get your matches done! (And try not to wait until the last minute!) You may post indicating that you've contacted your opponent as an activity post. You can also post predictions if you're so inclined, 'cause why not?

If there are any issues, contact me ASAP, thanks!

Good luck everyone! (But not too good no one wants a hax-infested tournament -_-)

halcyonic August 1st, 2014 10:26 PM
