*▲* New Year's Tournament *▲*

[Minabii]

Quick question:

December 29th Semi-Finals
December 30th Final Four

Are these not the same thing? Or are there 2 rounds of four?

 

[.Aero]

No they aren't. Here's my math/logic:

32/2= 16 16 make it to quarters.
16/2= 8 8 Make it to Semi-Finals
8/2= 4 4 Make it to Final Four
4/2=2 2 Make it to Finals
2/2=1 1 Wins.

I understand that they shouldn't be called Semi-finals, but they'll just stay that way.

lol Sabaku, don't get down on yourself so early. Anything can happen in a battle.

Of course, you might want to spread out the times a little bit. The same thing can happen here as in the match with my friend Venomancer and Sk8.

 

[.Aero]

You got a point there, but I'd like the finals to be on January first, but I say we should take a vote.

If you want the dates to be more spread out, vote for it.

If you want them to stay the same and the tourney to finish up on New Year's Day, vote for it.

[ABYAY]

Most people are probably visiting family and such around New Year's, so I think for the sake of those people, it should be extended.

My vote's for extension.

 

[.Aero]

You're right. Maybe it should start on New Year's? But heats last from 26-31st? That way people have a long time to get the first battle in? Or should it start later?

If we started on the 26th and finished heats on the 31st, it'd be nearly a week to finish heats.

I just MIGHT join this, I am getting a new USB today... lets please hope to god this one actually keeps working for at least one month.. PLEASE

EDIT: Count Glisctillery in too, I know he'd want to join

 

[.Aero]

I'm glad to hear that Name. ^^ I've added both of you to the bracket.

Wait, how many USB things have you gone through now? xD I had one that lost connection right before I could connect, but then I figured out that we had a router. xD

[Shiraishi]

I'm up to two. my first USB thingy just stop working when I was in Japan. I didn't really feel like attempting to get another one there V_V;

I'll add you to the list. And there is no point in posting your friend code. The rules clearly state that it has to be in your profile or signature. That's so it's easy for people to find your friend code.

Yo. Do you want me to start breeding pokemon from now. Because I already have a box full of pokemon.

O wait. Im breeding eggs...Ok.
So do you want me to breed eggs starting from now?

 

[.Aero]

Here's you task for normal egg breeding. Once 16 people fail out of the tournament (after the heats) they will post their scores (like 6-6 pokemon) and what pokemon they want as their breeded prize. So you can't start breeding until after the heats.
EDIT: This was confusing. I didn't know what I was trying to say. Just don't start breeding yet. I'll tell you when.

Another thing. The tournament will start on New Year's Day. This is for the reason that ABYAY said, and so people have more time to prepare teams. More spread out dates will make it easier to get battles in.

Another thing. I don't want people coming here say "For the record, I PM'd blah blah and he/she hasn't replied yet. What do I do?" I don't need to know that you PM'd them. You do that on your own, and if battle results aren't up by the last date of whatever round, the inactive member is knocked out of the tournament. If neither of the opponents reply in time, they are both knocked out. That will create an uneven bracket. But I have a solution for this. The person who lost a match with the closest match goes through. Let's say there was a battle and the final score was 6-0. Obviously the person with 6 goes on. And another match ended at 1-0. Since that match was closer, both of those two would go through. If this ends up happening, I'll explain further.

Ok just to let you know, is that I dont might not have every single pokemon so what if someone requests a pokemon I dont have? Then what?

 

[.Aero]

Well if you don't have it, and I don't have it, and SHP doesn't have it. Then we'll have to ask them to request something else.

~desu Saba~

 

[Lil-Dill]

OOO!

That seems soo easier...Why didnt I think of that...

 

[ABYAY]

I should also add Sabaku, that people have school, so if someone tries to play someone say in Germany or in Europe in general, it'll be difficult. Those will have to wait until weekends.

 

[.Aero]

Yeah, xP This tournament is gonna take forever, but it will work. I'm still debating with myself when the dates will be. (which is why they aren't changed yet) Like how long each round I should give. A week so that there is a weekend for battles in each round? Or 3-4 days just so it goes faster? I like the first more, that way there are no default wins.
