Season 3: Signup Tournament (winner: Dragon, runner-up: Nah)
![]() Structure Welcome! This is a double-elimination tournament that is being held for reasons stated in the below spoiler. Don't worry too much about winning or losing. Instead the importance lies in completing your battles. If you don't finish your battles, you may not be allowed in the main event. Use this as a chance to practice! If I feel that this tournament is extending PCL for far too long than it needs to be, I will cut it short. I don't want to put everyone through an unnecessary amount of padding before the main event, so feel free to speak any concerns. Spoiler:
Rules ・Use PC's battle server. You may use Smogon's server if you have a team with Pidgeotite or Steelixite, but our server will allow them soon. ・OU, Ubers, UU, RU, NU, PU, and LC of any generation are allowed for your battle if both you and your opponent agree to it. Avoid formats that aren't on the battle server (e.g. RBY LC). SM OU is the default format to fall back on. ・Double elimination (and only one finals match) ・Best of one (one battle per round) ・Post the replay in this thread. ・No extensions Scheduling ・You are expected to log on PC at least once every day and respond to your opponent during that time. ・Visitor/profile messages must be used for scheduling. ・When sending the initial message, offer time frames that work for you and preferably mention your time zone. If no times work and all possible options have been exhausted, contact Choice Specs or me immediately. ・Schedule a specific time and date. ・If your opponent isn't there at the scheduled time, try to wait at least ~30 minutes. ・Use this thread to keep me updated on how the scheduling is going.

contacted lost! Best of luck everyone
|
Also, Pheromosa will remain unbanned for the entirety of this signup tournament if it gets banned. The PCL championship will use the most recent ban list, though.
|
Spoiler:
Don't forget to contact your opponent via VM and schedule a specific time. Everyone has 5 days left to complete their battles, or I'll make activity decisions. |
Won vs esperance! Was a really fun game :)

Confirming the above. GG.
|
|
Won vs Sam today: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-257348
|
|
Lost vs wolf
|
Confirming. Crit on Rotom doesn't seem to have mattered at first glance. Could be wrong though.

There be some hax, but I did defeat Shanwow.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-257602 |
missed this ;w; in as sub, gmt-7
|
Here's round two!
Christos vs Noa wolf vs Dragon Nah vs 5qwerty Decidueye vs Aaron Choice Specs gets a bye Aurora vs punkysaur Chrollo vs Sam1994 gimmepie vs ShanWow esperance vs O'aka XXIII Deadline is Saturday, April 15th at 11:59 p.m. EDT. I gave an activity win to Aaron/Rabinov because him and O'aka had scheduled the battle and O'aka was unfortunately unable to show up. That tipped it a little in Rabinov's favor, but the issue could've been avoided if either of them had started scheduling the battle sooner. |
another hard fought victory

RIP the fallen four. Time to eliminate four more, hehe.
Christos vs Dragon Aaron vs Choice Specs 5qwerty gets a bye Noa vs Aurora wolf vs Sam1994 Nah vs ShanWow Decidueye vs O'aka XXIII Deadline is Saturday, April 22nd at 11:59 p.m. EDT. O'aka was given the activity win since esperance didn't show up at the scheduled time. ...However, I will no longer give activity wins to players who take longer than 2 days to contact or respond to their opponent. |
|
confirming gg!
|
lost to decidueye in a gg. i shouldn't have wasted a couple of my mons like i did.
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-258790 |
Confirming. Not reading my misplays really cost you :P gg
|
Won vs Shan: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-258926
Though I feel like that para hax really bailed me out |
Nice, we got this round done early. Thanks everyone!
Aaron vs 5qwerty Dragon gets a bye Christos vs wolf Choice Specs vs Aurora Nah vs Decidueye Deadline is Friday, April 28th at 11:59 p.m. EDT. Keep in mind that we still have four rounds after this one. Try to get your battles done ASAP, so the tournament doesn't get too dragged out. I'm hoping these later rounds won't take as long, because at that point there will be three or less match-ups each round. Again, I'm not opposed to cutting this tournament short if that's the popular opinion. I figure we might as well finish it, though. |
won vs wolf! http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-259444

I'm gonna have to start whipping out Wide Lens Greninja.
|

Blech, Our schedules just don't seem to work. Same time zone, but I've never seen Nah on. The next 2 hours likely are my only uptime for the next 24, so if I don't see Nah by 7ish our time I think we're not going to make it. VMing now regardless.
|
I guess we didn't need that extension then
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-259704 |
Thanks for getting that done! Moving on...
Aaron vs Dragon 5qwerty vs Christos Choice Specs vs Nah Deadline is Friday, May 5th at 11:59 p.m. EDT. After this, Aaron will fight a winner who has already been given a bye in a previous round while the other user will be granted a bye. Then the winner of that match will face the one who was given a bye, leading to the finals vs Shawn. |
Won vs Chase: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-259845

this is what wolf put in the OP, so going by that, yes. Remember though this tournament is just for warmups and for gauging activity. This has no bearing on PCL at all really so it's not going to be too formal or serious. |

I mean, I'd be fine with having to have to win twice to get first place
y'know, if I can even beat Shawn lol |
So Shawn and I battled:
http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-260696 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-260699 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-260701 I sort of insisted on doing more than one after winning the first match since it doesn't feel right to me to win a double-elim tournament from loser's side without beating the person on winner's side twice, although Shawn says he's cool with it: [10:31] ~Futabaa Sakura: well I think you still technically won the tour cause you won the first battle So I don't know what you wanna do. |
Eh, I don't mind either way; I think Nah wins cause the round is technically only one battle - that he won?
But if you guys wanna look at the other replays too for coverage, you can do so as well for some battling tips, etc. |
Sure, I was going to say that you two could do more than one battle if you both agree to it. I only made it one battle to shorten the tournament length, but in retrospect it doesn't make much sense.
Congrats to Shawn for winning the signup tournament! I'll post about where we're going to go from here later today. |
Congrats, Shawn! Nah I want to congratulate you as well. This was a really fun and very successful signup tournament. The majority of the battles were completed in a timely fashion and the outlook for this PCL is very bright.
|
Since this tournament was a way to test everyone's activity and ability to keep up with the match-ups, esperance and O'aka will be omitted from Season 1 for inadequate scheduling and not completing battle(s). This is the updated roster:
Furthermore, Chase and I have decided to make Christos and Aurora the new clan heads! The draft is planned to occur on the evening of May 12th EDT, while Week 1 (first set of the match-ups for Season 1) will start ~2 days later. However, we're still ironing out the details. |

The draft has ended!
Ghosts of Perdition wolf (head) 5qwerty Izuku ShanWow (auxiliary) Brave Altaria Dragon (head) Choice Specs Decidueye Sam1994 (auxiliary) Tenacious Toxapexes Aurora (head) gimmepie Nah punkysaur (auxiliary) Undecided Name Christos (head) Aaron Noa FireSnow (auxiliary) Week 1 is starting on May 15th EDT. The Mega Metagross suspect test should be over by then. |
Oh good, I'll probably have to rebuild all my teams again then :')
|
Aurora has good taste in mascot Pokemon
I should make a team with Toxapex on it, it'll benefit from MegaMeta being banned or it would if the meta wasn't still infested with Steels/Grounds/Tapus anyway lol But questions: a) What is the "auxiliary" position in the clans? b) Were the clan members picked via a live draft on the server like last time and I missed it, or was this done in a different manner? |

Also, I'm calling them auxiliary members now, since it seems appropriate and sounds better than "extra members." I'm open to other name suggestions, though. Quote:
|
Cool.. PCL, here we come.. Brave Altaria !!
|
The plural of Toxapex is obviously just Toxapex, not Toxapexes.
Lol wait the Altaria is me, Sam, Chase, AND Dragon? I like these teams very much. GLHF everyone! |
Just an update, Week 1 will commence once I get a response from Christos on a matter regarding auxiliary members.
