[Tournament] Gamingforce Pokémon D/P Round Robin Tournament

Hopefully I could prevent my second drive-by from happening again!

Edit: I thought of a very random idea for next month's tournament, should we have another one.

We submit names of 6-9 Pokemon that we have. Those names go into a draft pool. If the participants stay the same for the next tournament, we could figure out draft order through the rankings at the end of this tournament.

Each Pokemon submitted will be assigned a number, participants choose numbers and draft Pokemon to their team that way. We trade accordingly and start the tournament. It's like a slight variation of the Fortune Battle from PBR. The whole idea of using Pokemon that aren't yours.

I'm not sure how many problems this might cause if you leave your Pokemon in the care of someone for a short time, but I dunno, it's just an idea at the moment.

Thoughts?

Wow talk about a come back victory for Chaotic. You totally beat me to the ground ;_;.
I have no excuses though and yes, that was a good match. An unexpected loss but I can live with that!

Updated the brackets one last time before I go to bed. Just waiting on Crash and ^-^ to do their round 2 match. If they're not done by tomorrow evening (my time) I'll go ahead and add in round 3 into the mix.

Sounds like too much work for everyone if you ask me. Imagine all the trading and untrading we would have to do once we're all done. If everyone just had a Wii and PBR I'd be all over this idea for a future tournament. But we don't .

I figured it would be troublesome for people, but even with PBR, we wouldn't be able to access that type of battle... They Wi-Fi is as bland as it gets with either Singles 3v3 or Doubles 4v4.

Anyway, I can't wait to see who I'm fighting next. >.<

So am I. I was ready to fight tonight, whenever ^-^ got home, but I guess he popped into chat briefly, then took off.

Win or lose, I just wanna fight someone. I didn't do all that training to NOT battle.

Oh poo, even if you don't fight this round, you're bound to fight me at least. I'm the one with no life and lots of free time. T_T

Crash: I'm up for it today, I'll be waiting.

I'm set to battle anytime now. Though the timespan between 8PM and 9:30PM EDT is reserved for something else. Before and after are fine, however.

I'll be right there.

Ok. I'm in. Let's do this.

EDIT: ^-^ got the better of me, winning 2 matches to my 0. But both battles were freakin' epic.

Yes, agreed. It was so close, I was sweatin' so bad, my hands were niagra falls' backup.

Rounds 3 and 4 are now up! Sorry if it's overwhelming anyone but I want to push this tournament into the final rounds by friday or saturday!

So hop to!

Oh damn, I got the bye in Round 3. Now i'm gonna be bored until Elmoogle finishes his matches against Crash. T_T

If you happen to see this, Elm, I'm ready and waiting on the wi-fi.

Well that sucks I lost AGAIN!
Rua's team is scary, I'll give him that. Except for his Aerodactyl, it was really the only poke that was a pushover ._.

Alright, I've updated the charts. Not a lot has changed but it's still nice to see new numbers.

Oh yeah, people please don't forfeit your battles. It's not exactly the most encouraging to thing to see. If you don't have time or don't feel too good then just postpone the match until later. No harm in doing that, I'm prepared for that.
Also bear in mind forfeiting a battle means you automatically gain 6 KOs to your stats. On top of giving the point to your opponent. Doing this too often will not only kill any chance of the forfeiting player to play in the finals~ But it will throw off the tiebreaking decision when the points are tallied. Just something you guys should consider.
If there is anything I hate seeing it's a player giving up during a good match.

Aerodactyl just stealth rocks and dies, it did its job^^. Its not supposed to live. But it'll take out whatever before it goes.

I'll be online and waiting, Ident.

I just got back, so I'll be online shortly.

6v6 or 3v3?

I thought we were supposed to have full 6v6 battles... and then you got off >_>

Kairyu did say that 3v3 was an option.

Anyway, my WiFi connection is getting unstable again. I'm trying to fix it right now.

EDIT: So, I'm guessing we're doing 6v6, then?

Okay, I'm having a really hard time connecting to you.
