[Poll] Inter-Board Tourney

[mlugia]

An idea that Goofball and I worked out (goof's idea :X), and it's...

Interboard Tourney!

Battle between the boards to determine the forum with the best battling crew amongst them all!

Basically, what we're thinking is this:

We will try to involve 3 boards. (If you know a board that is of similar calibur but not listed, please post here).

Serebii.net Forums
Pokecommunity.com Forums
Pokemonelite2000 Forums

Note: Nothing is set in stone yet, I'm just gauging interest right now. Any comments on the format and such CAN be commented on, and if you do have a comment PLEASE post.

Battling Medium
For this tournament, it is preferred that NETBATTLE (www.netbattle.net) is used instead of RSbot, because of its simplicity.

Teams
Each Forum will send a team of 5 members, one of whom will be Team Captain, who will delagate his members in the battles. (Basically naming which 202 person is #1 and #2, and same for 386)

The Team will be composed of the following:
- 1 person to battle GSC
- 2 people to battle RS 202 (RS only)
- 2 people to battle RS 386 (RS with FR/LG addons)

Format
Team Things (Not final)
GSC: Standard uber ban (Mew, Mewtwo, Lugia, Ho-oh), slp clause, OHKO ban, Legends Clause (Zapdos, Moltres, Articuno, Entei, Suicune, Raikou, Curselax, Hypnosis Misdreavus, Growth Eeveelution, Celebi are defined as Legends)

RS 202: Sleep clause, standard uber ban (Kyogre, Groundon, Rayquaza, Deoxys, Jirachi, Lati@s with Soul Dew), OHKO ban, Wobbuffet Ban, Legends clause (Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Lati@s without Soul Dew are defined as Legends)

RS 303: Sleep clause, standard uber ban (Kyogre, Groundon, Rayquaza, Deoxys, Jirachi, Lati@s with Soul Dew, Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh), OHKO ban, Wobbuffet Ban, Legends Clause (Regice, Regirock, Registeel, Lati@s without Soul Dew, Zapdos, Articuno, Moltres, Raikou, Entei, Suicune, Celebi)

Note:
Ban = Cannot be used
Clause = Only 1 of the following may be used on your team.



Round Robin
Each team will battle the other 2 teams once, matchups will be determined by the way the team leader delagates his members. (of course, the GSC players will be battling each other, the 202s battling each other, and the 386s battling each other).

In round 1, each group would have battled 10 times. The 2 teams with the most wins will advance. In case of a Tie, the team with less pokemon KO'd by the opponent will advance. (eg: for 2nd spot, both PC and PE2K has 4 wins each, but PC's wins are 2-0, 1-0, 2-0, 3-0 while Pe2K had 6-0, 3-0, 3-0, 3-0. That means PE2K wins on less KOs, totalling 15 pokemon alive in the 4 wins compared to PC's 8)

Round 2 will obviously be the final, where the 2 teams will battle each other. The team with the most wins in the end will win the tournament.

Prize: Bragging rights and uh, yeah. A cookie maybe.

So, if you will be interested in participating, or just have a comment or question, please post in this thread and I will try to answer it!

w0t, a NB tourny >=D Count me in. Do we have to put what kind of team we'll be making? If so, 202 RS. =D

Pe2K will rule >=D

[Finglonger]

I'll join if you will allow me to do so, I'm not as good with rs as gsc as mana and goof can attest to, but I'm working on building a new team with a litle help of more experienced players so I should be getting better with that.

[Half a Dollar]

Yes! w0t. I'm not that very good with NB, however, I can do good in RS 386. so yah If I can, I will.

[Finglonger]

maybe ohko clause instead of ban x_x

[mlugia]

Perhaps, that was suggested, and will be taken into consideration. Do you prefer a normal OHKO clause or the one for the KK, where OHKO users may not use a recovery move?

[Finglonger]

meh I prefer the kk rule of no recovery

[boltAge]

inter-board tourney, sure, just dont count tvsian in, or we die :susp: anyway, i'm in, so we should have our OWN touney to determine our top few before having an inter-board tourney.

[AbXtreme]

So Basically It's The Battle For The Best Forum.

I'm In Boi, Can't Wait To Whip the Serebii People's Butts

GO TEAM PE2K!

[Ierdar]

Yay, Raik and Fingy are in! We'll crush the other boards! >=) Nick, I'll help you out with your team if you'd like. ^_^

[mlugia]

Hmm, interesting notes

- OHKO clause is prolly a go

- Are there any GSC players around? (Khold doesn't count :() Because PC might have problem scrapping one up, and Serebii isn't alive. period.

- If it ends up being a 4 man tourney, maybe 1 person on 202 and 3 on 386?

- what if we add a 2 v 2? (Doubtful)

input welcome.

[boltAge]

Not many decent GSC players here, but you could ask around. But RS 386, you're mine. Oh yeah, a UU/NU/BL Tourney maybe? I love those *whips out Rapidash and Murkrow team*

[Hoenn Mirror Girl]

I think that's a good idea. I don't think I'll be able to play on the PE2K team because of my...well...second rate skill. :oops:

I Don't Mind Being In GSC Or RS, I'll be ok in GSC and Ireder What about me :'(

[mlugia]

Hm, so an OU clause? like limiting a team to a max of 2 of the most commonly used pokemon?

[boltAge]

Nick, I'll help you out with your team if you'd like. ^_^
You do that and I'll pounce on you. Though you can try, it's usually futile, since it's like teaching a cow how to milk lambs T_T

anyway, why the hell are we fighting some random pokemon sites, when you can have a look at their strats forum and take a laugh about it.

[kirby9058]

w00t, a pe2k NB team. I want in, I can play G/S/C but I'm better in R/S, I have my R/S team in here somewhere. You don't have to let me in, but I'd like to show that pe2k pwns all j00. :susp:

[Ierdar]

Raik, kiss my ass. >=\

Kirby joined? ;_; We're all gonna die! Ab and Kirby >_< Oh well, Kirby has n00b hax =D maybe that'll help. Ab, you know damn well why I didnt say anything about you >=\

[Finglonger]

mana I can do gsc, I'm better at gsc than rs...

[mlugia]

Raik: Be nice at least.

Fing: yes, but PC and Serebii are uh... iffy, PC at least, Serebii I'm sure has someone, but they don't seem to be very interested anyways.

Ierdar: Team choosing is up to the captain...

[Finglonger]

well, im prety sure I could take anyone from pc or serebii : P, why dont you want to give me a chance?

[mlugia]

._. You know that's not what I meant >=(

If it's just you vs 2 ppl who are only doing GSC cuz they want to be in tourney but got shafted of RS, then you might end up winning easily and that might not be nice... or at least a bit unfair

[Chris]

I'm up for 386. And I agree with the OU clause.

What about a SkarmBliss clause :twisted:

[Finglonger]

They'll put up their best we should too.... but if thats the way you feel then I'll respect your decision ;_;

[mlugia]

Skarmbliss would definately go into the OU list if it's made

[vellyvell]

can I join, I will do both modes, I know I'm not the best but Kirby and ab joined. :tongue2:

[boltAge]

Look people, don't just assume you're "in", because I'm assuming mana's smart enough to filter out the noobs and let the pros participate. Besides, this is only a proposal, stop shouting I'M IN when they haven't even confirmed anything :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, there are TONS of counters for Skarmbliss, Chris. Don't count on that clause ._. (hint hint BLAZIKEN GENGAR hint hint)

[AbXtreme]

lol, callin me a N00b are we, I've Been in the Netbattle Business Long Time That Ireder's been. Anyway Pick Me For any mode if u like, and it's unfair to put the pros into business. Like PC's gonna be a challange anyway

[Finglonger]

well we don't want to put our worst up against their best, but then again I do agree that some newer players should be given a chance..it would be good experience. But I am assuming there will be some form of filtering, not everyone can join after all.

[boltAge]

I never did, dude. Which part in my post mentioned the word "AbXtreme"? No, so shut up. And please, START SPELLING PEOPLE'S NAMES RIGHT.

Fing, I do believe there can be new players, but only those that are willing to learn. Can Learn. And have potential. Why are we wasting time letting somebody who only joined for the damn of it and have no potential whatsoever? I have a couple of members in mind who are sort of new but they can learn. I won't want to share their names, but I'm just saying don't allow random people to join. Fair enough?

[Finglonger]

Yeah I agree with you raik.

[mlugia]

Guys, simmer down

Raik: calm, calm, inner peace, calm.

Let me put this in clear words:

Not everyoen who signs up will play. That is true.

What will happen is that a Captain will be chosen from each forum. The Captain will then have the task of creating the team to rep the forums.

And I have a captain in mind for PE2K already, depending on signups. We'll see.

I'd suggest the captains hold a short and unofficial tryout for the tourney spots when signups begin or something...

[kirby9058]

Just because you're new @ NB doesn't mean your bad... I've been playing Pokemon since it came out in the US and I just started NB 4 days ago... and I'm pretty good for a n00b :tongue2:

[Finglonger]

yeah some new players can be good, but the vast majority of them arent.... especially when knowing how/when to switch. Naturally I would assume everyone gets a fair chance at making it in. probably via tryouts...or something along those lines. so If a player who happens to be new performs well then naturally they would be allowed to compete, actions speak louder than words.

[AbXtreme]

I never did, dude. Which part in my post mentioned the word "AbXtreme"? No, so shut up. And please, START SPELLING PEOPLE'S NAMES RIGHT.

Well ur saying that in every single Thread i've made. I've Been in PE2K Since It Started, I Don't Need Advice

[boltAge]

Well ur saying that in every single Thread i've made. I've Been in PE2K Since It Started, I Don't Need Advice
Oh my, you sure know how to exaggerate. EVERY SINGLE THREAD? Wow, try linking me to even ONE then. :rolleyes:

[kirby9058]

Hey, guys stay on topic please! Ok, I was wondering how these tryout things will work, and if we have any idea who any of the team captins are. And maybe we could hold like an tourney of all pe2k people to see who plays/is captin or something. Just a thought. :happy:

[mlugia]

Captain wise: I do have an idea of who the captains of PE2K and PC should be, Serebii wise, depends on who signs up, of course. I'm not gonna just randomly pick ppl, btw, the captain doesn't even have to be the best battler of them all :p

And as for tryouts, that's really up to the captains. If (s)he wants to have everyone battle against the captain to test their skills, go nuts. If (s)he prefers a single elim short tourney lasting like 3 days, go all out.

[Finglonger]

at any rate everyone should be given a fair chance : P

[HKim]

Heh, this tournament has been over for awhile. Time to take this thread down.

However, VT will have something up soon, so keep your eyes open.
