Artist - Amastroph
Start Date:
July 13th
Style:
Round Robin w/Brackets - Everyone will play everyone else once, then brackets will be seeded
Matches will be best of 3
Matches are Bring 6 pick 3 flat 50
Only Gen V Pokemon May Be Used
Excluded Pokemon: Victini, Zekoram, Reshiram, Kyurem, Landorous, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Pokemon with unreleased DreamWorld abilities, lists of released pokemon can be found here (events) and here (regular play).
(ie. Legendaries with Stats >= 600)
Limit of Two: Thundurus, Tornadus, Cobalion, Terrakion, Virizion
(ie. Legendaries with Stats < 600)
Rules & Clauses:
- Evasion Clause: You may not use any evasion raising moves such as Double Team or Minimize
- Sleep Clause: You may only put one of your opponent's pokemon to sleep, players self inducing sleep through Rest do not count toward this total
- Item Clause: No two pokemon may have the same hold-item
- Species Clause: You may not use two of the same pokemon on your team, pokemon from the same evo line do not count toward this (ie. you can use both a Samurot and a Dewott on your team if you wish)
- One-Hit KO Clause: One-Hit KO moves such as fissure or sheer cold are not allowed
- Disconnections: WiFi can be fickle for some, if less than three pokemon have been knocked out between both players, the match will be replayed. If a player disconnects twice, even through no fault of their own, it is considered a forfeit for that round. To clarify, if I'm in a best of 3 match, and I disconnect twice in the first round, I forfeit that round, but will continue play until one player wins two rounds. If a pattern is noticed you will be dropped from the tournament.
- Use of Pokesave and RNG abuse is allowed, however, if you are using pokesav to make your team, please at least make realistic stats, winning teams will be checked
Footnote: Should Metronome violate and of these clauses, it is not a forefit, as you used metronome, which is entirely a random dice roll
Match Play:
- Scheduling: There will be two gathering nights on IRC for ease of match set up, you can play anyone in any order. Days will be Wed & Saturday at 8pm CST, but players are free to play round robin matches at any time. The set times are to encourage everyone to gather in one place at one time.
#brbuninstalling @ gamesurge.net - Use Mibbit if you are too lazy to install a client
- Depending on number of sign-ups the time duration of the round robin will be 2 - 4 weeks, bracket matches will have set times, likely the same times as the normal previous meetups. Brackets will be best of three, single elimination.
- Between rounds players are forbidden from adjusting their team in any way, including hold items, pokemon used, or order.
- Between round robin matches players are free to change their teams/hold items as they see fit, however, for the bracket matches, players must stick with the same pokemon & hold items throughout, order may be adjusted.
Prizes:
As many of you know I make hats, so these will be part of the prizes, I will also make customs of pokemon I have not made yet, but the design must still come out to the right dollar amount
1st Place: A Steam Game (or combination of games) up to $10, and a hat of $35 or less from my shop
2nd Place: A Hat of $35 or less from my shop
3rd Place: Indy Steam Game $5 or less
Rules and such are still up for debate so feel free to discuss, we have about a month
