Summer tournament fun!

I’d like to join~ Goodluck everyone!!!

Is Aqua Ring allowed :o

in the first post it states NO healing moves

I just found out my mom’s birthday is at the tournament day :x.x: So i probably won’t come on :sad:

I would like to join the tourney .
In-game Name : DKR95
Asking : Since I live in italy … It should be at 17:00 right?

I just found out i can’t make it, sorry. give my spot to someone else

I believe moves like charge beam shouldn’t be allowed in this tournament.
The rules clearly state and move that raises a stat is not allowed and yet your allowing moves like charge beam.
those kind of moves raise a stat and that is breaking the rules you set.

Agreed

But it is also an attack, not just a stat raising move.

Its not just flat out stat raising, it still deals damage. but, whatever Dragon decides.

2 days is the tourney anyway, don’t see why you’re pointing this out so late.

I agree with atuskia on this (although I’m not using a move like Charge Beam). In addition to what atuskia said, I’d like to point out that banning these types of moves would be ridiculously difficult and time-consuming. Imagine all the moves that cause a stat boost or drop on you or your opponent: Charge Beam, Psychic, Crunch, Superpower, Leaf Storm, Ancientpower, Shadow Ball, etc. The list goes on and on, and I don’t think it would be worth banning all of these as they are rather commonly-used moves.

Also, Dragon and Drake, I heard rumors that you would be using Simple Beam to neutralize abilities. Is this true? I’m fine with it either way, but would like to point out that perhaps Entrainment using a Plusle or Minun (Plus and Minus are rather useless alone) or Skill Swap from an Exeggcute/Exeggutor (Chlorophyll is useless without Sun, which is banned, and Harvest is useless without Berries-- also banned), since Simple could cause some unintended haxy stat raises.

We see no problem with this as there are many more moves such as this, On another note it’s an attack move more then a purely bases stat boosting move, If that was the case then you would also be asking me and dragon to ban thunderbolt or flamethrower since they have a chance to inflict a status ailment on another player.

We are highly unsure about this but we will reach an answer by the end of the day and let everyone know either on here or at the tournament location tomorrow.

ok i have made a decision and instead of using simple beam i will be using an Exeggutor with skill swap instead

Glad I could help you make this decision.

Now that that’s been resolved, when matchups be posted? I presume you’ll random-match (assign each person a number, then use a RNG to make pairs by drawing random numbers and discarding repeats?) the final 8 to sign up for the “preliminaries”, then do the same for the remaining 28 + 4, and so on up until the semifinals?

Matches will not be posted, since we already have them, you will find out when you arrive.

Just a fair warning, I may or may not show up. Depends if I wake up. It is rather early for my current sleeping schedule. So, I’m not sure. I’ll try and be there but no promises if sleep out weighs the 8’oclock hour for myself or seven…? For me, not really sure. My internet sucks anyway ~ I’ll try and show up but no promises.

Well, since matchups haven’t been posted, I’ll take it upon myself (if only just for fun) to do a randomizing myself.

I can do another one and screenshare with you on Skype while I do it if you want to see how it’s done.

Assign numbers to all (just using order of signup) :

  1. ZaratoX
  2. Zappeh
  3. Levy
  4. Foxy1
  5. Drakos
  6. MrD
  7. Atuskia
  8. Trevor
  9. Mad
  10. Scizivire
  11. Kendel
  12. Mico
  13. Dark Zoroark
  14. Cinder
  15. Richard G
  16. Artmax
  17. Charrr
  18. Superswampert45
  19. Lilslayer
  20. Grafines
  21. Trans
  22. Mewcc101
  23. Ribbon
  24. Bestdude
  25. Ionut
  26. Bloodthirst
  27. Orchid
  28. Why3
  29. Starships
  30. Exskitt01
  31. Erlade
  32. Masamune
  33. Cluie
  34. Zefa
  35. Palika TheDefeater
  36. TheDefeater DKR95

now selecting random numbers from 29-36 on random.org:

(reordering paired names so first to sign up is first name)

35, 33 --> first pairing is Cluie vs. TheDefeater
35 (ignore repeat), 30, 31 --> next is Exskitt01 vs. Erlade
35, 32, 34 --> 3rd pair is MASAMUNE vs. Zefa
so 29 and 36 are left, meaning Starships vs. DKR95

Now, winner of Cluie/TheDefeater = 29
winner of Exskitt01/Erlade = 30
winner of MASAMUNE/Zefa = 31
winner of Starships/DKR95 = 32

Selecting random numbers 1-32 on random.org:
11, 19 --> Kendel vs. Lilslayer
14, 30 --> Cinder vs. Exskitt01/Erlade
10, 12 --> Scizivire vs. Mico
29, 9 --> Mad vs. Cluie/TheDefeater
31, 24 --> BestDude vs. MASAMUNE/Zefa
12, 10, 27, 8 --> Trevor vs. Orchid
4, 24, 31, 30, 16 --> Foxy1 vs. Artmax
21, 14, 1 --> ZaratoX vs. Trans
16, 11, 28, 11, 15 --> Richard G vs. Why3
26, 7 --> atuskia vs. bloodthirst
7, 18, 4, 31, 14, 5–> Drakos vs. superswampert45
23, 23, 26, 5, 10,6 --> MrD vs. Ribbon
5, 24, 26, 18, 3,6, 16, 18, 8, 2 --> Zappeh vs. Levy
11, 26, 28, 17,1, 25 --> Charrr vs. Ionut
30, 22, 15, 23, 8, 27, 16, 30, 10, 14, 6, 22, 32, 12, 28, 26, 26, 2, 14, 8, 1, 31, 22, 27, 29, 3, 8, 18, 10, 24, 20 --> Grafines vs. Mewcc101
Which leaves 13 and 32, so Dark Zoroark vs. Starships/DKR95.

Wow, that last pairing was tedious, and since it took me so long this may be posted after Drake/Dragon post their pairings! I sure hope not, that would be embarrassing!

lol, so Drake already has matchups. XD All that work gone to waste! lolz

Aw. Congratulations, DKR95 for first!
Congratulations for Second, ZaratoX!
And congratulations on third, MrD!
