Im a little busy with school but more basketball since its play offs. And also what Ataro said, but can it start without Volcan here?

This is double posting but w/e

Since Time zones will conflict on brackets, and its a little unfair to some people that its only based on points, I have a suggestion. How about basing it on win percentage.

For Example

Trainer 1 = 5-8-0
Trainer 2 = 4-14-0
Trainer 3 = 7-1-0

Trainer 2 would win because he would have the most points, but would have the worst record by far. If based on win percentage, trainer 3 would win. But instead of doing it only on percentage, how about having a minimum of 12 battles to even qualify for first or second place.

Yes, I was thinking of % wins ... just somehow my comp's broken down and needed to be fixed. So I can't be online for like 4 days or so. So I'll just change the rule ... and yes, you could start battling, even without me. And if I feel I need to extend the time, I will extend it. So, start battling guys!

yet again I haven't reached anyone online because of my stupid timezone difference... >_<

Jet, where do you live? I remember seeing you in GMT+8, and I happen to be GMT+8 too, but I don't see you on. :s

Philippines =P

next time... no percentages pls... do it by brackets... this "battle whoever when ever" is seriously screwed up >_<

I have a question. Is there a minimum number of battles to qualify for first place? It seems unfair that someone with only 1 battle could win since if they won that battle, they would be at 100%. But someone else could go 9-1 and only be at 90%

Nope, it isn't. No holds is skrewed up. just do it by number of wins. Theres a limit per day, so you cant get like 14000 battles. The more you win the better it is. Seriously it isn't that complicated.

Brackets is better IMO.

And it proves your activity and what kind of mindset you bring to a tourney.

I'm just too lazy to make a bracket, and also, there are too few participants for a bracket =p

And yes, I found it unfair if Leman doesn't battle until the end of the Tournament ...

I should implement this new point-counting system D:

Formula: % of wins*Amount of battles

So for example, Volcan's battling record (W/L): 7/3 (70% win), times amount of battle (10), so 70*10 = 700 is the points I have. I think it's ... pretty fair xp

Im the only one on when Leman is, but Ive already used my 2 battles for the day most of the time battling Ataro of Jet =/. Ive just started saving a battle each day so Leman can get his in =/

but that's just it... those who have different time zones are stuck to battling each other; which technically is pointless if I battle crazy everytime x_X again I don't see anyone online. defeinitely not fair to others >_< might as well give me the 5 points since no way I can catch up now >_>

Dont extend the end of the tournement. Not enough people for it to matter really.

The Tournament ends, and here is the result!

First place: CRAZY with 900 total points!
You can now claim your 50 points, 1 basic-stage OU Pokémon and 2 free TMs from the mart!
Second place: LEMAN with 300 total points!
Take your 35 points, 1 basic-stage BL Pokémon and 1 free TM from the mart
Third place: ATARO with 300 total points!
You can also have your 20 points, 1 basic-stage UU Pokémon and 1 free TM from the mart.

CONGRATULATE THEM, people!

And also, Leman and Ataro tied up, but Leman's got more battles, so yeah, he gets the second place. And Jet can claim his extra 5 pts ^^

Now I officially announce that this tournament has ended, thanks for people who have participated

the results were obvious actually...

next time... NO no brackets... -_- 8 battles because of time zone difference compared to crazy's... yea nice concept =P

*claims

yea, but it was based partly on percentage. You ended up with more points from the battles than Ataro, but your percentage was really really bad, so you didnt place. oh, and does my OU mon have to evolve?

=O I want a Nincada, and TM Swords Dance. When I evolve it do I get both Ninjask and Shedinja, or just one?

Both

Where do I check for the Tiers? ;_;

I tried Smogon but it only lists fully evolved.

Just use Smogon and use the basic form. Claydol for example is UU, so just pick Baltoy and evolve it

Finally figured out what I want for my OU mon since I cant have Cresseliea I want Feebas :] and for my TMs I want Hidden Power and Stealth Rock

I'll take Squirtle for my UU Pokemon and TM Hidden Power.
