that is anxtremly unfair rule cuz it dosent take into consideration that i had hit other pokemon that she had switched out and thereore it was much closer than that. as for these tournaments that is the end for me i wont take part in these no more cuz i wud have gladly rematched her if it was the other way round . good bye
Again, I apologize, Junoliv. If you've also noticed we run the "Extreme Speed Open Tournament" as well, and in that tournament I've had two particular members who were the victims of disconnections. They were up by two or more Pokemon when a disconnection occurred. Both times the person that was losing came back and stated the problem and said "So what happens, can we rematch?" I allowed them to do so, but that went against my rule that is stated in that Tournament's front page saying disconnections only call for a rematch if the match was close, tied, or if both battlers really want a nice, full match because they know that was a fluke.
Maria wants to move on in the tournament, not a rematch. Since you guys don't know each other that well or have had epic past matches and know this uncompleted battle was not a representation of each other's skill, that's understandable.
Regardless of how many Pokemon you wounded, you didn't knock them out, and in a Pokemon battle that's what counts. You can poison, paralyze, put to sleep, confuse and get everyone of your opponent's Pokemon down to 10 HP but if you lose right then and there, that still qualifies as an 0-6 loss for you. Sure, your opponent might say "Holy Hoppips, that was an intense battle!", but the fact is you didn't win, so saying she had a handful of Pokemon that were weakened isn't going to help much.
Plus, it was brought to my attention that you were uploading youtube videos during the battle? I know from experience doing things like that or transferring large amounts of files or data has a direct effect on how well your network is working. I was kicked offline because a friend was sending someone a huge music file, and I'm positive uploading youtube videos does the same thing. I don't want to sound mean, but this is a pretty fair rule considering you could have easily finished or stopped uploading the videos and
concentrated on the match, instead of having the disconnection occur and now suddenly you're ready to pay attention.
Whew...anyway, like I said earlier, we still would love to have you in future matches. Actually, this situation calls for an overview on our law of disconnections, so we can have this case posted as an example. We'll go over things with our other advisor and get back to you guys. Juno, I know the satisfaction of actually winning the tournament would be a better reward, but if we decide to overturn this case, we'll award both you and Maria Semi-Final points on the Tour (that's the round you're fighting to get into, just in case you weren't following.)
May I Join This Tournament???
We'd love to have you next week, Golden, the tournament is currently in the Quarter-Finals of singles and Semi-Finals of doubles. We'll be holding sign-ups later on for the next installment in Viridian Forest.
