ClanOCR's 1st Pokémon Tournament

[Arek the Absolute]

POKEMON TOURNAMENT ANNOUCEMENT!

Starting July 2, ClanOCR will be hosting it's first pokemon tournament for the games Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl.
The tournament style will be double elimination. There will be no seeding, making it so that everyone has a fair chance at winning.


TOURNAMENT RULES:
Matches will be single 1v1 matches. Levels are to be set to 50, so that all pokemon can be at the same level, giving those that do not have as much time as others to level their pokemon to 50 a chance to join.

Before any pokemon tournament, everyone is to chose 10 pokemon that they wish to use and PM me their choices along with the movelist of each. Chose wisely, for these are the choices that you are going to stick with throughout the whole tournament.
You are not to tell anyone your choices, so that people do not formulate a specific counter strat against your pokemon.
The day of the tournament, I will post the list of people who are playing with their 10 pokemon that they chose.

*NEW EDIT PLEASE READ*
All Pokemon lists WITH MOVELISTS are to be sent to me by June 16th. On the 1st of July, you will find out who your opponent is as well as their pokemon, giving you a day to figure out what strategy you wish to create with the 10 that you chose. The tournament shall STILL start the 2nd of July. Your movelists will NOT be shown to your opponent. They are for me so I can sort through those that are legit and those who hacked their pokemon. Besides this, nothing else has changed.
Item clause is now in effect. No more than 2 of the same item may be used in your party. This rule pertains to all items in game.

The following pokemon are banned from this tournament:
-Arceus
-Darkrai
-Deoxys
-Deoxys-E
-Deoxys-F
-Deoxys-L
-Dialga
-Entei
-Giratina
-Groudon
-Heatran
-Ho-oh
-Jirachi
-Latias
-Kyogre
-Latios
-Lugia
-Manaphy
-Mew
-Mewtwo
-Palkia
-Raiku
-Rayquaza
-Shaymin
-Suicunne
-Wobbuffet
-Wynaut

And there you have it!
Here is to a great tournament and many more to come!

If you are interested in joining, post in this thread or contact me via aim. Please do NOT PM me because my inbox will be full of people's pokemon lists and I do not want to mix anything up.

*Those with bolded names have sent me their list*

[atmuh]

hey areks name changed

[Drack]

Do you want us to talk about it here instead of in the ClanOCR thread?

Might wanna move the rules and have a moderator move the posts here then...

[FiremanJoe]

How about the rest of us who haven't even seen a Diamond/Pearl release yet? ...Kinda unfair =(

[Arek the Absolute]

This thread is nothing but a shell until the tourny draws closer.
Don't bother with this yet.

[Escariot]

Arek... Nick Sharma...

SirRus... Ravi Sharma? If I remember correctly?

[Arek the Absolute]

Thread up and ready to go. Continue tournament discussion here.

[Drack]

Of the people who have expressed interest, could you bold the ones who have sent in pokémon lists?

I fear the list of participants may be a lot shorter than the first post makes it seem.

[Majin GeoDooD]

I second that, that would nice for us to see as well.

[n2neee]

you still have my list ... because im still down to play =]

[NeoForte]

Yay! I can't wait to start battling peoples :D

[cobaltstarfire]

Yar, same here!

[Binjovi]

Bah! I don't think I can compete in this one. For one, my party isn't anywhere near to complete right now, and for two, no weekday is a good day for me. Sorry to have to do this, but could you please take me off of the list?

[atmuh]

hey i already told you i wasnt in
i cant connect to wfc

[Prasa_U.]

There'd probably be more people signing up (like me) if you used one of the online battling programs out there. Just because it's a lot easier.

[cobaltstarfire]

Yeah but that'd defeat the purpose of raising ones own pokemon.

Oh yeah, I might be a little uh...drunk for half the first week of July, I just turned 21 a few days ago and the friend I'm visiting is probably going to insist I drink. So any match up with me may have to be postponed till the next week.

NO EXCUSES!!!! :P

Yea online programs are fine and all but nothing beats the satisfaction of raising your own poke hehe

[cobaltstarfire]

I'll make sure to be extra tipsy than for my match, maybe whoever it is will get to hear me talk >P

*goes to work on an up to date list of her pokemon*

[Mewtation]

Oh, man, this is going to rock extensively hard. Arek, expect a PM from me in the next couple of minutes about last-minute list revisions.

[cobaltstarfire]

I sent my list in last night, and will try to check up on stuff over next week, but I might be a little scarce, leaving for Ohio early tomorrow morning.

[n2neee]

yo arek you need ot put my name up cuhz i sent you my list and registerd on dracks page !!! iight man let me kno

[Arek the Absolute]

I got hella shit to do today, so the list of your opponents will either come today or tomorrow.

[Majin GeoDooD]

*yawn*

10charlol

[n2neee]

when the hell are we playing hahahha dam !?!?1

[Arek the Absolute]

Alright, I will level with you all. I have no time right now to host this shindig. I would be so much more inspired if the original people who wanted in would have sent me their lists, then it would have been different.

Sorry, but I can't host this right now. If someone else does aim me fast and I will send the lists I have.

[Mewtation]

All right, people, I'm fully willing to host this motherfucker to get this show on the road. I'd have to drop out, but there's a lot of people interested in this, so it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

[Horseboy]

Alright, I will level with you all. I have no time right now to host this shindig. I would be so much more inspired if the original people who wanted in would have sent me their lists, then it would have been different.

As expected >:(

[Mewtation]

All right, the mewtation is now in control. Now, here's the thing. You have exactly ONE week to get your lists to me. Well, maybe I'll be a little generous, I'll give you an extra seventy-three minutes. You have until MIDNIGHT, Wednesday 18 July 2007, Eastern Standard Time, to EMAIL your lists to me. I check my email a hell of a lot more than I check OCR, so there. mewtatedmewtation@gmail.com, if you didn't know it already. Make the sure the subject contains something about the Pokémon tournament, so I know what it's about, and include your username too so I know who you are. There will be no exceptions on the list deadline, because this mofo's been delayed over, what, a month now? Same rules Arek set up apply, same Pokémon are banned, and I expect no hackeds.

Now, I would still like to participate in this tournament, so I've got two suggestions. First one, what if, in the brackets, I would be a phantom participant. As in, I would move up as well, but whoever I played would also get a valid participant. I wouldn't compete for standing, just for honors, and I couldn't win the thing. Second suggestion, I would bare my entire Pokémon, item, and movelists here, and participate as normal. Or something you could suggest that I haven't even thought of yet. What do you think?

[Oddllama]

I'm still down for this. Heheh, I spent this extra time actually EV training my team... thought I'd have to go in "naked" previously.

[Mewtation]

Got NeoForte's and Horseboy's lists. Horseboy, I need your hold items on the list. Arek, if you're lurking this thread, send me the lists you've got; it'll make this a bit easier. I'm not kidding: Wednesday midnight.

[Mewtation]

I've still got only two lists, and you've got five hours. This is going to be a pretty boring tournament with only three people. Arek never sent me the lists HE had.

[Horseboy]

I guess people don't want to play anymore because they realized this might really gonna happen and they're scared of losing.

Also, this is pointless if there's only 3 people. If no one else signs up, I'm not doing this.

[Mewtation]

Got five lists so far:

NeoForte
Horseboy
cobaltstarfire
Drack
Majin_GeoDooD

Some people have asked nicely, so I've extended to Sunday midnight. Three more days. Oh, and you can PM your lists to me now, I'm in the habit of checking my PMs more often.

[Oddllama]

You bet I'll still be sending mine.

Heh, but always at the last minute. ',:^)

[Oddllama]

I submitted my list.

Did you?

If not, get on it.

[Mewtation]

Got it, Llama-man. Signups are over and participants are:

NeoForte
Horseboy
cobaltstarfire
Drack
Majin_GeoDooD
Ayres
Oddllama
Mewtation


Am I missing anyone? Anyway, I'll BS some opponents together and send them out. And I'll send my list to those playing me, so it's fair.

[Majin GeoDooD]

I'll drop PMs and emails and shit around when I get a chance. Might be tonight, might be tomorrow.

[cobaltstarfire]

Arrr

I've got this urge to draw brackets of brackety doom, but I wont...

Also, how is the final battle going to be handled? Anything special or no?

I also noted that there will have to be a bye *somewhere* in the brackets how's that being handled? I lied and played around with it on paint, and just gave whoever loses in the winners semi finals a "bye" in the losers bracket.

[Majin GeoDooD]

First battle is over. Cobalt beat me pretty nicely ;D

Biggest lol moment was at the start when we both came out with the same pokemon ;x

[cobaltstarfire]

Arrr, now we gets ta twiddle our thumbs till every one else finishes!

*waits on round 2*

[Mewtation]

cobalt suggested I do this in the thread since we saw how well sending individual lists out was.

Also, we're using cobalt's bracket because it rocks and it works.

[cobaltstarfire]

Yeah I should probably post it so you all can actually see it! Yay brackets are happy fun time...or something. I'm just going to keep editing the same image, so uh...I'm only posting this once. Don't forget to refresh for results :p

[Drack]

Majin gets a free pass to the final?

Imo he should be worked in as early as possible.

[Majin GeoDooD]

Majin gets a free pass to the final?

I do? It's just the losers bracket.. double elimination tournament..

[Drack]

And I lose at reading charts.

[Majin GeoDooD]

And I lose at reading charts.

It's okay :D

[cobaltstarfire]

*pokes everyone to see if they're alive*

[NeoForte]

I'm alive, just waiting for Horseboy to feel better so we can battle.

[Majin GeoDooD]

What about everyone else? C'mon people.. battle!

[Decrescendo]

Crap, I missed the first tourney :(. I can use OCR again at work apparently! Hopefully I will make it for a later tournament. I don't have very high level pokemon though.

[cobaltstarfire]

At the rate that people are doing their battles, you'll have plenty of time. :|

[Horseboy]

I lost to Neoforte.

[NeoForte]

GG Horseboy, and yea I won hehe

[cobaltstarfire]

Cool, I updated the bracket (http://s156.photobucket.com/albums/t14/lorenith/?action=view&current=bracket.png), refresh to see the most recent version.

Majin and Horseboy are up against each other.

[The Damned]

Are we going to have any logs or war stories for these battles?

[Mewtation]

Are we going to have any logs or war stories for these battles?
I plan on logging MINE, but I don't know about anyone else.

[cobaltstarfire]

I'd hope to wait for discussion *after* the tournament is done though, so everyone won't give away their strategies...or lack thereof.

[Horseboy]

Are we going to have any logs or war stories for these battles?


Hopefully nobody logged this battle -.-

[NeoForte]

I don't log battles so I dunno heh

[cobaltstarfire]

So uh, are you guys going to do your battles or not?

[NeoForte]

Seriously I wanna battle people.

[Drack]

So how am I supposed to get in contact with Ayres, my opponent?

Searching OCR, Ayres hasn't posted here since *january*

Anyone got AIM info or something? Is Ayres one of those Remod folks, or another board?

[Horseboy]

No AIM, but quite often on Remod.

[cobaltstarfire]

I'll poke Mewt about it, he probably knows how to contact the guy.

That still leaves one other pairing that is unaccounted for. As well as the two in the losers bracket.

[Horseboy]

I didn't see him online all week, though I'm pretty sure I added him.

[Shining Mirage]

Uh, by chance, will there be possibly a later tourney since I technically missed this one? :cry:

Edit: I added my info on the database if that's cool, btw. Along with Mario Kart DS.

[cobaltstarfire]

I dunno, this is taking a while. (Mewts been really busy with stuffs).

I'm bored if anyone happens to want to battle some time shoot me a tell, I want to at least battle if I can't do it in a tournament.

[Mewtation]

HI GUYS, WHAT'S UP. Yeah, sorry about that, I've been mondo busy lately. cobalt is being a HUGE help, thank you! Drack, I'm working on seeing if Ayres has an alternate way of getting in touch with you. ASF, there will DEFINITELY be another tournament, so I'll keep you posted. Anyway, if all goes well, Oddllama and I should have our match over with this morning, so we can get this thing rolling again!

EDIT:

I got totally owned by Oddllama 'cause I'm an idiot. It was so awesome, though.

[cobaltstarfire]

Ok brackets updated (http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t14/lorenith/bracket.png), refresh your browser to see it if it isn't loading correctly.

[Nineko]

Haha, I'm a total jackass.

Drack, I'm sending you a pm.

I MADE THIS GODDAMN AVATAR. Uncool people had better not be using it.

[cobaltstarfire]

Ok apparently Ares got bored and decided to quite.

I'll pm you later Drack about my current schedule.

Here's the bracket now.

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t14/lorenith/bracket.png

[Majin GeoDooD]

I still haven't heard from Horseboy about our match.. last he said was that it'd be a few weeks. That was prolly close to a couple months ago o.O

[cobaltstarfire]

Poke him in the face with a cactus!


Er, I haven't been able to get around to battling Drack because college is eating my soul, I'll do it soon and by soon I hope that means like within the next week! I never realized studying could be so absorbing that 4 hours later I'd look back and be like D: D: D: its 7PM? Yeesh...
