Happy Halloween lmao
So, clearly there was no winter tournament. I needed the break anyhow. However, before the Spring tournament in March or April, I might have something new that ISN'T a type-theme.

Forum is bein' real *****y tonight
@Fext let's end this
I've tried reaching out on discord and checking here daily and gotten nothing.
@Fext if you somehow get this, does Tuesday or Thursday work
Also, should be obvious, but there will be no winter tournament this year. Scheduling problems aside, I need a break. Got something in the works for...
And neither am I incentivizing stalling in the hope of a 50/50, yet people are claiming that's now "precedent."
I've had to threaten coin-flips for years to get people to schedule. It just so happened that it finally came up in this nightmare mess.
Except when scheduling has been a problem on...
Alright, it's been long enough that it's coin-flip time. Fig advances to the next round.
Semifinals:
Terminus vs @Fext
LR2
@ExLight vs @TL The Legend
@Scarfed vs @Fig
With any luck, we can get LR2 and 3 done before Fext and I have our match. I would prefer this be done before December.

"If I had a nickel for every 4-0 win, I'd have three nickels, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened three times"
@ExLight vs Terminus
@Scarfed vs @Fext
@TL The Living Dead...
Well, apparently Fig didn't get the message about it beginning, so he didn't even make his team until yesterday. We'll have a solution by friday at the absolute latest.
Ignoring the ship war...
I still don't like TWW's artstyle. The cel shading is fine, good even, but the character models look all weird and nubby to me.
Alright, signups have closed and we have a total of EIGHT participants this time! I'm out of funny pre tourney quips, so...
ROUND ONE
@TL The Living Dead vs @Scarfed
@Fext cs @Princess Niki
@Edgar Allan Plinko vs @ExLight
@Fig vs Terminus
Remember to submit your team to @Spooky Mask...
So I did.
With that said, signups are now CONDITIONALLY CLOSED. The odds of getting 8 more people is low, but I will leave this thread unlocked on the off chance that it happens. All eight people currently in are guaranteed their slot.
Yeah, I know, I'm four days late. Sue me, I'm busy and in a rush.
Also, in the interest of expediency, there will be NO preliminary round for this tournament. Since we're unlikely to get 16 people, I will be capping this at eight.
FORMAT: Double Elimination
PLATFORM: Pokémon Showdown...
You absolutely *should* consider unplugging things during nasty thunderstorms. A few years back, lightning struck near where I was staying and completely shorted the living room entertainment system.
Alright gang, as we have seven entrants, everyone will be in one round robin category, with the top four moving on to the finals.
Please send your teams to @Spiritual Mask Salesman. Keep in mind the type restrictions. Any disallowed Pokemon participating in a given match will be treated as a...
Global. I don't like fiddly bookkeeping and per-stable registration would be just that. We can teleport, screw perfect realism.
Even Red Dead Redemption 2, a game that prided itself on being excruciatingly realistic, had global horse registration at the stables, because running across the map...
Its almost like it's the most popular format.
If people would do their matches quicker we'd have time to do more than the seasonal games. I already have an Ubers and a Monotype planned if we ever have some time to spare, and might branch out into lower tiers if we can get these moving really...
We're going to have year-round tournaments! And by that I mean we'll have 4 tournaments that all take over three months each.
Not to worry though, I'll be splitting up the Round Robin phase this go. No more "eleven games per person" crap.
...Grass OR Fire OR Bug OR Ground.
BANNED POKEMON: Smogon NatDex Ubers, any Pokémon that is not at least partially Grass/Fire/Bug/Ground.
*****DYNAMAX AND GIGAMAX ARE BANNED*****
