Without further adieu, on behalf of Milotic_Master, let me present to you the Matchups, Rules for Round One battles and of course, the Prizes.

Since all the formalities of Signing up and Team formation are done, Let me now brief you on what exactly the "Tornado Tag Championships" mean.

Originally known as the Texas Tornado match. In this match, all wrestlers involved are allowed to be in the ring at the same time,
and thus all wrestlers are vulnerable to having a fall scored against them.
-Wikipedia

So keeping that in mind, you guys now really know how the Matchups are made.
Even before announcing the Matchups, Take a look at what you guys win as Prizes, and the Entrants info are provided here as well.

The Battle Rules of Round One, Matchups itself are in the second post.

Prizes :
Champion of the Tournament : A choice of a Demanding Tier Mon.
Runner-Up : A choice of Complex Tier Mon.

Now that's done. Time for the battle rules.

Battle Rules :
2 People Vs 2 People [Double Battle]
Revolution
2 Pokemon from each person [The Pokemon you guys picked]
No items except helds [Optional]
Sleep/Freeze Clause
Normal Weather/Terrain

For this round, All referees reffing a battle will earn 3K per battle,
the winning pair earns 2k, while the losers get 1k.

To all Referees :
-Post your logging here.
-You guys will get your wages at the end of the Tournament, not at the end of each round.

Time Limit : No time limit. For now, that is.

A little message :
MM and I wish every participant, all the best, and may the force be with you!

*For those with different Time Zones and such, take a look at post #11.*

[Maleficent]

That's hot.
I'm eyeing up the demanding mons.

[Ataro]

I'd like to suggest that posting the ref log here would be fine. Since posting in both our personal log book and here would be confusing when it comes to wages counting.

Just remembered that. Lulz. Thanks for looking that out, Dan.

[RawrIsMyMiddleName]

So if Canis Lupus and I would pass this round, then would be partners until we are eliminated? I didn't get it because there was not that much details in either post. :x

[Trainer17]

Let's take your team for Example.

Canis & Noan Vs Bryce & Ataro

If you and Canis win, your names will be in BOLD, and you guys move on. Bryce and Ataro however, are kicked out of the tourny.
So by looking at the other teams, 2 People would be kicked off when they lose, which at the end, leaves with 8 Teams still, but with only 2 People.

[-Pichu Boy-]

You really know how to be evil, MM and Sam. Dx

Oh well, best get strategising with ArcanineSavior if we're gonna win this :P

[Stinky]

Hey, Ataro is in a timezone where it is hard for all of the members in our battle to be on at once (12 hours ahead of Bryce and I, 15 hours ahead of Cruz iirc), so could we have a forum battle?

[iReign]

Is there a set date we HAVE to battle?

[Trainer17]

@ Canis : Yes you may, and that can apply to anyone who are on different time zones.
Just indicate "URPG Tornado Tag Tourny Battle" or anything along those lines as the topic title^^

Thanks for bringing this time zone thingy up Mic. =D

Refs, when you log Tourney Forum battles, for those with killing time zone,
provide the linky of the forum battle as usual :]

@ AS : There's so specific time limit given by MM,
but it is advised to have them as soon as you're able to ^^

Updates : Just included in a new battle rule
-Sleep/Freeze Clause
So that it can be fair ^^

[Haze]

Uhh wtf, why are we fighting our teammates first round? :|

[Fossil Fusion]

Uhh wtf, why are we fighting our teammates first round? :|

I second this wtf post. LOL

[poke123]

Uhh wtf, why are we fighting our teammates first round? :|

I was surprised too, but apparently its supposed to be the big twist in the tourney.

[Haze]

I was surprised too, but apparently its supposed to be the big twist in the tourney.

That's really gay, then why did we even team to start? :|

[-Pichu Boy-]

That's really gay, then why did we even team to start? :|

For the surprise after. And to make it easier on them.

I don't like it either, but, it's a good twist, I'll give them that :P

[SiberianTiger]

There is something I'd like to say about this big twist. wtf.

~Isaiah

[Trainer17]

@ Crazy : I know how you or anyone feels right now =p

But yeah, that's how this Tourney is supposed to work. A big twist. But if you take a look at the title of the tourny or read my first post, You should have had an slightest idea of what it really means.

Updates : None yet, MM hasn't informed any time limit,
so you guys can have your battles whenever possible =D

[Exon Auxus]

It's gonna be hard getting all four people on at the same time sense PL only comes on at 5 am my time. :x

[The Jr Trainer]

This place sure is active!

EDIT: I see people are doing forum battles. So is there going to be a deadline for when they have to be finished?

[Milotic Master1]

This place sure is active!

This place is active! Everyone's battling ;).

To answer your question; nope. I know forum battles take long, so as long as we have 'em up I'm cool with the length it'll take.

Marth and ball VS. TheEvilDookie and SiberianTiger
Alakazam ; Infernape and Raichu VS. Garchomp and Gengar ; Electrode and Blissey

It started out with Electrode Magnet Rising to avoid its partners Earthquake, and Infernape Will-o-wisping it. From there, Garchomp Crunched Alakazam, but got itself Encored. Blissey was easily taken down, and Marth and ball set up, and Garchomp was taken down, followed by Gengar.

It's also notable that I rolled 3-4 defense drops with Crunch. xD

Marth and ball- $2000 each
TED and ST- $1000 each
Me- $3000

Total Tornado Tag Salary- $3000

[Dog of Hellsing]

Meh, so....is this thing even still going? I haven't seen any activity going on for a while...

[poke123]

Actually, I think this tourney died. I was talking to MM about it and he said that people just forgot about it or lost interest.

[Dog of Hellsing]

Well, instead of waiting for everyone else who didn't do their battles, maybe those of us who are done can just go ahead to the next round? :x Or maybe we can get some monetary prize and just be done with it. 3k each or something, I dunno. I'll talk to MM next time I see him and see what kind of ideas we can get going.

[Metallic Houndoom]

hey guys i'm not in this tournament but I was just wondering where the sign ups were posted cause i have been looking out for a tourney but I never saw the sign ups for this one. So could someone tell me for future reference?

[-Pichu Boy-]

They're posted in this forum.

[Metallic Houndoom]

They're posted in this forum.
oh rite, I didn't see them. When were they posted?

You mean a monetary prize for everyone that finished their battle and continued? or a monetary prize for everyone who participated?

[Loyal Arcanine]

Sam contacted me about this and I've told him to just continue this thing, so the next round should be up soon, with a time limit for the battles.

[Haze]

What happens with Chris and me, since Hus and Shadowlink kinda left. >_>

[iReign]

Also MK restarted, so am I kicked out? :confused:

[Leman]

Also MK restarted, so am I kicked out? :confused:

Yeah, Soda restarted too, so. What will happen to that?

[Trainer17]

In addition to what Mike has said, I would like to apologize personally, to all the participants of this tourny, for delaying this for so long. But let's not think of that anymore, let's step things up a little bit. I'll give a time limit from now on. I'll put up the next round soon, with Time Limit(again) and considering into factor that some players restarted/quit/etc. I don't do rolls to see who moves on, but to pick teams who have been the most active around the URPG. It's not my fault if you think you deserve to move on to the next round, but your opponents did.

Thank you for looking into this, and have a nice day^^

Edit : Okay, these are the teams moving on to round 2. Two of you may find that you guys have a new Tag-Team partner, that is due to being your original partner being inactive/quit URPG or such. I'm making the new thread for Round 2 now with the new matchups, Battle Rules and etc. Any URPG Mods, feel free to close this one. Thanks!

ArcanineSavior & Leman
Adrenaline & Ketamine
Fossil Fusion & Haze
Neon Skarmory & Iridium

Good luck to you all in round 2!
