Holiday Tournament - DECEMBER SIDE TOURNAMENT
HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE
Christmas is just right around the corner and until then I decided to host a Holiday Tournament! We will have 20 members or more to compete. They will face eachother until the top 2 meet during the tourney. UnfortunatelyI will not be competing although I will be the person who updates events and results. [FONT="ArialRules: Rule 1: Absolutly NO Ubers! (A list is in the spoiler below)
Ubers
Rule 2: Clauses ~Sleep Clause (Ex. Bronzong puts Hippowdon to sleep, then is switch out to Aerodactyl, you cant put Aerodactyl to sleep until Hippowdon wakes up) ~Species Clause (Ex. You can't have 2 or more of the same Pokemon in your team) ~Evasion Clause (Ex. No moves can be used that increase evasion, including Acupressure) ~OHKO Clause (Ex. You can't use Gullotine, Horn Drill, Fissure, or Sheer Cold) Rule 3: Absolutly NO Hacked Pokemon! Rule 4: NO Hax Items! (A list is in the spoiler below)
Hax Items
Rule 5: Explosion/Self Destruct If you and your opponent each have one Pokemon left and you use Explosion/Self Destruct, then YOU lose the battle. Remember once 16 people hv signed up,I will put u in random order to face each other.You will report back to me about who won so I can update a new match set for every winner. If you do not show up at the date of your match,you are officially disqualified.

Skarmory, Metagross, Blissey, and Tyranitar are definitely NOT Ubers. They are in no sense of the word. Where did you get this list? Skarmory but not Palkia? Tyranitar but not Salamence?
Also, the way you phrased the OHKO and Evasion Clauses essentially means nothing, since people can just use the moves anyway and easily win. As harsh as it may sound, I feel that it would be wiser to just make things more clear and not odd things such as how they will be frowned upon.

EARLY START
Due to hotblazes idea of mentioning that this tournament will take a longer period of time to get atleast 20 people to sign up,I've made the officially battle list. This is how it works. If you see the first post of this tournament you will see the number you are in. I will draw the numbers from my hat(Yes I've written them down on pieces of paper )and the two numbers that are chosen will face eachother. If more users start signing up during the battles,it's ok. Sooo let's get our first condenders: Numbers.... Before I announce them @Alakazamaster If you read carefully above that list I just said don't whine about them being too strong,they are NOT ubers. They won't use the moves,if they do they're newbs and a joke to competitive battling. Trust me Ok numbers:1 and 4!!! Second numbers:2 and 5!!! And lastly the 2 remaining:3 and 6!!! First match starts tomorrow. Last edited by ZxTrollingxZ; December 18, 2010 at 07:29:43 AM. |

I decided to make a Bracket for this. Here it is:
You can use it if you want. I can edit it as the battles are done. Also, you need to change the amount of participents to 16 instead of 20 because the bracket doesnt work with 20 people. Last edited by [TRDRS]PokeTrader; December 20, 2010 at 07:17:06 PM. |

So then why not just outright ban them instead of calling em noobs even though your allowing it to go on? If given the opportunity people will abuse em. I wouldn't blame the battler for using em as much as I would blame the tourney host for allowing em. They are normally banned in competitive play for a reason.

Hmm... looking at your rules, I would suggest you remove Freeze Clause because there are no moves that induce freeze without hurting the opponent's Pokémon. So that means you can't purposely freeze someone without damaging them first. Freeze clause is only truly enforced in Shoddy Battle.
EDIT: May not be the place, but this is my 1,500th post :O Last edited by Quadcentruo; December 21, 2010 at 07:56:04 AM. |

Ok guys if u know what to do.Just do it.
Thanks for the bracket Well firstly how would I know if they are not going to do it?They'll be banned already.... How would it be my fault if I didn't know? I can't ban some1 for not breaking the rules. No pokemon (DISALLOWED) I clearly said this was a wifi DS match. Well it's obvious u can't freeze anyone without a physical attack...no need to add it.. |

*facepalm*
Quad means that Freeze Clause makes no sense unless you are using a simulator. There are no moves that will ONLY freeze a foe. You can never tell when Ice Beam or another move is going to freeze a foe, which makes it unpredictable. As a result, you may accidentally freeze two Pokemon, without ever WANTING to. Unlike Sleep, Freeze is completely uncontrollable, thus making Freeze Clause useless if it can't be controlled. |

I asked Cat333Pokemon to update the first post and now the Rules are easy to read and understandable. (It is my Gym format) Also it has been limited to 16 Participants for the Bracket to work. Dont forget, if you win a match you must post on the Bracket thread for this tournament the results of the battle. Here is a link to it: http://www.victoryroad.net/showthread.php?t=6642 |
