RBY2K10 Tournament #2: UU

Results

1st: Dexter
2nd: Spies
3rd: Crystal
4th: Posthuman
5th: Subsmoke / t3h Icy
7th: Underboss / WaterWizard



Bracket:

Well, finally we're starting the bracket. Best of luck to all.

Don't forget that all Bracket sets are best 2 of 3, except Winner's Finals, Loser's Finals and Grand Finals, which are best 3 of 5.

Pools:

With 10 entrants and unlikely more, I'm starting Pools. Make sure to remember that Pools sets are best 2 of 3. Since Pools are bigger this time and the rewards for getting a higher Seed are more valuable, I'm bumping up the set size in hopes of lowering tierbreakers. In the event of a tie, it's by sets won and then matches won. If there's still a tie, I'll figure out some solution.

Here are the Pools:



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The OU Tournament was a bit rocky, but I'll make sure this one goes a lot smoother.

Sign-Ups:

To sign up for the tournament you must be both active and registered here. If you're not active, it's too hard to get matches done and if you're not registered here, it's too hard to contact you.

However, people tend to not have RBY as their life's priority, and if you're able to plan ahead and still show-up, you won't be DQ'd. So if we have to wait a week for a match to happen, but you do intend to actually show-up, that will be fine

Format:

-Pools to determine tournament seeding
-Double Elimination

For this tournament, 1st Seed is guaranteed to receive a Bye in the bracket, and depending on turn-out, not all players from Pools are guaranteed to even make it into the bracket (but most likely everyone will).

Sets:

-Pool sets are best 2 of 3 (I bumped this up to avoid more tiebreakers)
-Bracket sets except finals are best 2 of 3
-Winner's Finals, Loser's Finals and Grand Finals are all best 3 of 5
-Each player is in the tournament until that player has lost two sets in the brackets (in other words, double elimination)
-Each player can switch teams between matches of the same set

Rules:

-Sleep Clause
-Freeze Clause
-Self-KO Clause
-Apply PP UPs
-Battle Timeout
-Mewtwo and Mew are not allowed
-Duplicates of the same Pokemon are not allowed
-Double Team and Minimize are not allowed (Evasion Clause)
-Horn Drill, Fissure and Guillotine are not allowed
-Wrap, Bind, Fire Spin and Clamp are not allowed
-All Pokemon in OU and BL are not allowed. Make sure to check the tier thread when making a team so you don't get DQ'd.
-For clarification, NFEs that are not BL are allowed.

At anytime during a match, if a player offers the match to end in a tie and both players agree, they redo the match. So for example, should both players enter a stall war and both declare a tie (as they may be worried about losing that match), they redo the match (not the set though).

Players:

I think the turnout for this will be about the same as the previous one, but I'll let as many people enter as we get.

[posthuman]

Hi. Some asshole forced me to join, so here I am.

[subsmoke]

Count me in yo. So we're using the tiers here and not smogon's?

[t3h Icy]

Yes our tiers.

[WaterWizard]

In. But change Venusaur back to BL.

[t3h Icy]

Go yell about it in the Tier thread then.

[Tristan]

sorry i thought i replied. ill fill a spot if needed

[t3h Icy]

Zilch? Nerd? GGFan? Crystal?

[Zilch]

Yeah, I'm here. I'll update the tiers, too.

[t3h Icy]

Just an FYI incase people haven't read or cared or anything, Venusaur and Victreebel are both back in BL and are not allowed for UU.

So 6 can work, but I'll wait on our OU finalists. Seeing as both are great UU players, the tournament would be a tad bit lacking without either of them. =)

[garrinred]

I'd like to join, please.

[Nerd]

Fine, I'll play

[t3h Icy]

<3

[GGFan]

I'll play if you're going to use more than 8 (which isn't difficult to do).

[t3h Icy]

Of course, I'll just put Byes in the bracket.

[spies]

i will play

[t3h Icy]

Hey you finally joined Spies. Welcome.

[t3h Icy]

Pools are starting now. All sets are best 2 of 3 this time.

Good luck to all.

[t3h Icy]

And we're off to a shaky start already! I beat Zilch 2-0 matches and WaterWizard beat Nerd 2-0 matches.

[Nerd]

I lost 2-0 to WW, 2-1 to Post, and won 2-0 against spies (lower case s right?).

I'll try to be on next Saturday around 8:00 eastern to play my last pool match (otherwise I'll be on the following Saturday); if everyone else gets finished and you're just waiting on me, just consider my match a forfeit and move the tournament along.

[t3h Icy]

Don't worry about it Nerd; I doubt all the other sets will be done. We can wait for you either way.

I'll update the Pool image after the sets going on at the moment of this post are finished.

[spies]

I lost to nerd 2-0 and beat posthuman 2-0

[garrinred]

Hey, sorry I've been out a few days. Back now.

[t3h Icy]

I beat SubSmoke 2-0 matches. GGs.

[subsmoke]

ggs

I'm still on if anyone wants to do their matches

[t3h Icy]

I beat Garrin Red 2-0 matches. GGs to you too. =)

[Tristan]

2-0 POSTHUMAN

[t3h Icy]

[Zilch]

2-0 against SubSmoke. Game 1 was a 6-0 blowout, but game 2 was really close.

[Tristan]
