    [PokeCommunity.com] Back to the Future — A VGC'98 tournament

    Remember your old Red and Blue fellas? Good, because it's high time to use them!
    The format isn't official but is very similar to VGC'11, but it has a significant twist — instead of using Unova Pokemon, you'll be using the original Kanto Pokemon!

    Why "Back to the Future"? It's simple — you take old Pokemon and add a splash of quazi-official ruleset and all the toys they've been gaining during following generations.

    The tournament will start on July 29th, so be sure to sign up! Each participant will get a VM-reminder two days before the start.



    Rules
    (stolen from NecrumWarrior and then modified)
    1. You must have access to Wifi and a Gen 5 game (White, Black, White 2, or Black 2) in order to participate.
    2. Absolutely no hacks. No hacked moves or impossible stat spreads, or you WILL be disqualified. No "legal" Pokemon either, just use Pokecheck for legit ones.
    3. This tourney will be held Swiss style. This means you will be battling several people, even if you lose in the first round you have a chance to win. Number of rounds will be determined by the total participants. Your win/loss ratio will determine what rank you place in the tourney. You will be matched up randomly in round one, and after that matched up by how many wins/losses you have. There will be a Top Cut depending on the number of players (T4 or T8). Top Cut tie-breakers will be solved by comparing player's opponents' performance (the better your opponents did, the higher chance you can win the tie-break). Tie-breakers will be counted automatically by challonge.com to exclude human error while counting.
    4. Each match is a best of three match. To minimize hax, you'll play three games. The score of particular game doesn't matter, but please add whether it was a 2:0 or 2:1 match.
    5. Do NOT discuss other participant's teams. You will be disqualified for doing so. This includes, but is not limited to, VMs, PMs, threads, and IRC chats.
    6. In your sign up, include your Friend code in the post. Please do not reference your signature or profile.
    7. Report each round's result in a new post.




    VGC'98 Format
    1. All Pokemon with their National Dex number 150 or higher are banned.
    2. Battles will be Double Flat Battles with no Wonder Launcher. You can bring 6 Pokemon with you to the battle, but only 4 may participate and will be chosen by you at the start of battle. All Pokemon will be reduced to lvl 50, but still not be raised. Underlevelled Pokemon are allowed as well.
    3. Species Clause is in effect. Only one of each Pokemon is allowed on your team. No bringing 4 Magikarp.
    4. Item Clase is in effect. No two Pokemon on your team may be holding the same item.
    5. All unreleased Dream World abilities are banned. Full list of released DW Pokemon can be found here. In addition, ability Drought is banned as well due to being the only auto-weather.




    Prizes
    Each participant will get an emblem!

    Thanks for reporting the scores so far. Next time, please, don't include small points. Something like: "won 2:1" is enough.

    Zylas left the tourney, so KradTone gets a free win.
     
    ok kool I thought I was dropped
     
    I am very sorry for the delay, but the site I'm using for bracket had an issue and I was unable to remove NecrumWarrior from participant list.

    Anyway, the updated bracket is in the 1st post, so be sure to check who is your next opponent.

    Technical info: please, if your opponent isn't responding after you contacted her/him, be sure to let me know. Tman didn't do that last round and fortunately for him, the coin toss gave him the win.

    If Akatsuki no Tenshi won't play this round, he will be removed from the tournament.

    Good luck, everyone!

    edit: Won 2:1 with Griffinbane. GGs
