Summer Glory Festival
The competition
Assemble battlers of PokCommunity! We gather together this summer for fun to test our skills against another community. Twelve to sixteen participants will meet a player from the other community for a single elimination battle. The side with the most wins will be declared the victor of the festival! First, in order to determine fair pairings, both sides have agreed to conduct a competition to seed the players to allow for comparable players to meet in battle. Give it your all, and represent your community proudly!

All matches are best of one (1). The deadline for completing your match is 10 days (August 7 @ 12:00 am EDT).

Post your game results in this thread! As always, discussion of the event itself may proceed. Should a tie result, both sides will agree upon the terms to a tiebreaker before commencing.

You can follow Serebii's process in the thread on their forums.

The rules
  • Battles are to be held on PokCommunity's Showdown server.
  • Standard SM OU ban list and clauses apply.
  • Groups of 4 players based on PCL Elo rankings coupled with random assortment for unranked players.
  • Players will face off against the other individuals in their group pairings.
  • Similar records will be determined by head-to-head records.
  • The seeded roster will compete against the complementary roster from Serebii to battle for glory!

Scheduling
  • You are expected to respond to your opponents promptly.
  • 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 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.

Discussion with the tournaments staff on Serebii resulted in a decision to make this a 12-player competition. We currently have 9 players registered, so we only need 3 more before we can proceed with our group phase. I will continue to accept sign-ups after we reach 12 in the event that we need a substitute.

Some of their members have been in contact on here and the Discord chat. BGP_ is one of the members who will be heading the construction of Serebii's team.

FriskInUndertalw: Welcome to PokeCommunity. The event only permits members who have been registered for at least 3 months. However, there are other exciting events coming up soon, like the PokeCommunity League that you would be interested in participating in.

Now that we have 12 players, we can proceed to the group phase. Using the PCL Elo rating (see below), I applied the top 9 players in this rankings by snaking them into our three groups. Since I was the only player without an Elo rating, I randomized the groups of myself along with two others using a random number generator to fill them out.

Dragon - 1206

Since Marshadow is currently obtainable and legal in the SM OU format, you will be allowed to use it. The deadline for completing ONE match is 1 week (July 13 @ 12:00 am EDT). The deadline for completing ALL 3 matches is 2 weeks (July 20 @ 12:00 am EDT).

(All matches are best of one.)

Best of luck to everyone and have fun!

Good game Sam. Looks like I need to sharpen my game; that was a poor showing.

Serebii just got their line-up selection process underway. You can follow it in this thread if you're interested: http://www.serebiiforums.com/showthread.php?658695-Cross-Forum-Tournament-Event-with-Pok%E9community-Summer-Glory-Festival

Edit: Marshadow is now BANNED. It will not be legal for the tournament since the only match played did not see its usage and the player base has not fully adopted it anyway.

Hey everyone, Smogon's server was specified as the best place for completing your battles, since Rukario was having technical difficulties with updating our server. Though we were expecting that to last for about a month, it has been fixed now! Our server has been updated with Mega Lopunny, Gardevoir, and Gallade.
