Does Nah have to win twice to win?

 

[Sirfetch’d]

Does Nah have to win twice to win?

nope! winner takes all

 

[5qwerty]

nope! winner takes all

What about the Double Elim? Dragon hasn't lost yet, so if he loses once he just loses the entire thing now?

・Double elimination (and only one finals match)

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.

Oh darn I didn't read, my bad.

 

[Nah]

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

 

[Nah]

So Shawn and I battled:

https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/pokecommunity-gen7ou-260699
https://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]

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]

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.

 

[Sirfetch’d]

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.

 

[gimmepie]

aaaaaaaa, good matches you two! I'm infuriated with myself though for managing to throw away the winner's spot and then fluffing up the end to loser's finals, hahahaha.

Can't wait for PCL though! Woop!

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

 

[punkysaur]

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

Don't mock me :p

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