Netbattle Draft Tourny (Interest Topic)

[The Angel of Retribution]

I've been trying to get back into NB, and since OUs are whored everywhere, getting back in would almost require me to ***** OUs also. So, to get others into the swing of using random monsters, I'm hoping to interest some members in a Draft tournament, 8 or 16 people total.

Basically, this is how it would run:

Each participant would be given a random number, 1-4 or maybe the number of total participants. Beforehand, a group of useable Pokemon would be selected from all 386 and then subdivided into groups, also given random numbers, 1-4 or however many groups of participants. Basically, the people of a given number, say 1, would be able to pick 1 monster for their team from that group. Then, the numbers would rotate around sequentially. So, if there were 4 groups, members in group 1 would get the monster selection from group 4.

The members of the tourny would post what monster from the group they want, so that THAT monster can be removed from the whole group.

This is basically a card game draft tournament modified for Netbattle play. If any of you have ever played Magic or any other card game, and played in a draft tournament, you should know how this goes. For those of you who are somewhat interested, post here suggestions or questions. I'm hoping this will not only be fun, but remove the boringness of NB since no one would have the same monsters, therefore removing predictability from gameplay.

Reminds me of that tourney that I had Masa make a program for me for, where the program took in the "top 10 draft picks" from each person, randomizes an order for the draft, and then assigns pokemon to each person according to the draft picks, and after that, according to the overall stats of each pokemon

ha ha, fun =D

Here's a convo of me and Raik. Maybe its contents will better explain the layout of the tourney.

Monster Raik: okay, that idea is sorta complicated, my simple mind cant think that much, i dont really get it
Kholdstaire: lol
Kholdstaire: h/o
Kholdstaire: ok
Kholdstaire: sorry
Kholdstaire: phone rang
Kholdstaire: basically, for a 8 person tourney, we'd have 8 groups of pokemon
Monster Raik: wow that phone sure rang for a long time
Kholdstaire: none of the same mons in any group
Kholdstaire: so each group has completely different mons
Kholdstaire: each group is assigned a number
Kholdstaire: and so is each person
Kholdstaire: 1-8
Kholdstaire: #1 group goes to person 1
Kholdstaire: #2 to person 2
Kholdstaire: and so on
Kholdstaire: they each choose a monster from that group, then pass the rest of the group to the "left"
Kholdstaire: so person 1 gets group 8, and person 2 gets group 1
Kholdstaire: and each group goes around like that until each person has 8 mons
Kholdstaire: and then the people can use ONLY those 8 throughout the tourny
Kholdstaire: so they'd have 2 backup to change out in between battles
Kholdstaire: if they so wished
Monster Raik: oh...i see. pretty good suggestion, but i think making it clearer in the first post would be better since dummies like me dont really get these stuff :P
Kholdstaire: i'll post this convo
Kholdstaire: =0

That was the whole point as to why I said that.
