Nah May 6th, 2017 6:36 AM

So Shawn and I battled:

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.

Dragon May 6th, 2017 6:43 AM

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.

wolf May 6th, 2017 8:18 AM

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:
  1. wolf (GMT -4)
  2. Dragon (Aerithhh, Captain Syrup, Esper Terra) (GMT -4)
  3. Choice Specs (GMT -5)
  4. Chrollo (Kurapika, Killua, pabloocean) (GMT -7)
  5. Decidueye (ddrox13) (GMT -4)
  6. Noa (Captain Noanoa) (GMT -7)
  7. Aurora (GMT +10)
  8. Christos (GMT +1)
  9. gimmepie (GMT +8)
  10. Nah (Zekrom52) (GMT -4)
  11. Aaron (Rabinov) (GMT +1)
  12. 5qwerty (GMT -4)
  13. punkysaur (GMT +5:30)
  14. ShanWow (Shan of the Dead) (GMT -6)
  15. Sam1994 (blackcharizard94) (GMT +5:30)
  16. FireSnow (vsich4) (GMT -6)
Due to the necessity of maintaining an odd number of members per clan, players 13-16 will not have normal clan member positions. They'll be drafted into clans like others, but the clan heads will have to replace someone with their extra member for 2 weeks (same member can't be replaced twice).

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.

Can't wait for PCL though! Woop!

At least you didn't get completely destroyed in both your matches :')

I didn't even realise that was an option... but now that you mention it.

Week 1 is starting on May 15th EDT. The Mega Metagross suspect test should be over by then.

gimmepie May 11th, 2017 3:54 PM

Oh good, I'll probably have to rebuild all my teams again then :')

Nah May 11th, 2017 7:05 PM

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?

e.g. You, Aurora, and gimmepie will play normally for 3 weeks, but on 2 weeks punky will step in replace to one of you (Aurora's choosing, can't be replaced twice). I did this so more people could participate.

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.

We did a snake draft on a Discord server. Picked players 1-12 first then players 13-16. I would've made it public, but we were having scheduling difficulties and decided to do it today without much time in advance.

Sam1994 May 12th, 2017 6:58 AM

Cool.. PCL, here we come.. Brave Altaria !!

ddrox13 May 12th, 2017 7:41 AM

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!

wolf May 15th, 2017 7:00 PM

Just an update, Week 1 will commence once I get a response from Christos on a matter regarding auxiliary members.
