Pokemon Showdown Tournament (November) - Round 1 Results are in! ROUND 2 begins soon!!

As some of you may have known, we tried to host a Pokemon Showdown tournament during the earlier portion of September; however, it was largely forgotten about unfortunately.

That's why I bring you news of the revival of the Pokemon Showdown tournament for the month of November! We will be hosting this tournament alongside the PAWU forum for more member activity. The tournament will be an RU/NU based tier battle against fellow members and there will be prizes to be won as well! Though I'm sure some of you will participate for the pure novelty of beating your friends as well

Now, for those of you who are new or unaware of Pokemon Showdown, the game is a battling simulator that you can play directly from your browser while making up Pokemon teams that you can use to battle your friends. If you have any questions as to how to operate this game, please let me know. I'll do my best to help you.

I have the names of all the players who have confirmed their participation in this tournament below. I have also listed all the players who signed up for the original tournament - please let me know if you're still able to participate in this tournament. This tournament is likely to take place during the last week of this month (November):

ROUND 2 MATCH-UPS:  

*Ospreyeagle vs Pyrite

*TheTrainerExpert vs newsupermariobros - Winner: TheTrainerExpert!

If you'd like to participate, please post on this thread. New participants are welcome.

For those of you who are participating, please state your Pokemon Showdown Usernames below.

This tournament will be taking place during the last week of November, so I'd appreciate if we can get these names down as soon as possible.

Again, the tier is between RU - NU.

If you have any questions, please ask me!

I hope this will be a success. Can't wait to get started!

I'll be able to make it, but I can't play in the either the mornings of next monday or tuesday, teeth extraction. Plus, I'll check my PS username soon.

Thank you Gira, I'll sign you up as well!

This event is taking place on the last week of November, so we're all good in that case. The timing is flexible so don't worry - we'll get a perfect battling time arranged for you!

My PS username, same as always, Giratina720

Thank you Gira! I will update that.

The competition will begin this Monday and will span throughout the entire duration of next week! So prepare your teams everyone!

Mine is nsmb

All right, nsmb, thanks!

Our tournament will be starting this Monday and will be taking place for the duration of a week. The tier is set for RU-NU with the inclusion of 6 Pokemon (all level 100).

If there's any further questions, please let me know.

We have 8 participants now, so we're ready to start this Monday!

Well everyone, today marks our first day into the beginning of our tournament!

By tonight, we will have a list of match-ups for Round 1 battles. As such, we will assign you your battle dates sometime this week and hopefully we can get this done in an orderly fashion!

If you have any further questions, once again - feel free to ask anytime. Please stay tuned for the matchups by tonight!

I can't do it tomorrow, Teeth Extraction at 10 AM PST

Don't worry Gira, you can do it anytime this week. If you are free by Wednesday or Thursday, that would be fine. Whatever is the best possible time for you.

====================

All right, I've done a random number generator to generate these match-ups. Perhaps they could have been better, but they're random and we'll need these match-ups for now!

Round 1

- Ospreyeagle vs MapleBerry<3

- newsupermariobros vs Gira

- Cj vs Pyrite

- Evolution Master vs TheTrainerExpert


Let's get these match-ups done from tomorrow to Wednesday everyone! If you have difficulties finding time over the next two days, please let us know! Also Gira, don't worry, find a good day for your battle when you can.

This is just Round 1, and whoever wins will move on to the next round. Let's make the win count from 2 wins (2 out of 3 battles for fairness if possible). If there's any questions, please ask! Good luck!

I can do it tomorrow or Friday

Okay Gira just tell me when.

Once again, thank you guys for participating.

We might extend the duration of this tournament for another week if we need to considering that this is our first tournament.

Regardless, find a convenient time in which the two of you can battle. Hopefully we can the Round 1 results in sometime this week at least.

If any further questions are needed, please ask. Good luck!

I have created a Challonge bracket for this tournament so here's the current standings.

Looks good Gira!

Keep it up!

Update: Pyrite has won against KyngzIndeyen and nsmb won against me. Congrats, the scores has been added to the bracket.

Congrats to the both of you!

Our last battle for Round 1 will likely be completed by tomorrow, so that means that ROUND 2 will likely begin by this Wednesday!

I will update the victors moving to ROUND 2 in the lead shortly.

All right guys, Ospreyeagle has defeated MapleBerry in our last battle, so that means ROUND 1 has officially been completed!

We will get the matchups for ROUND 2 either by tonight or by tomorrow morning at the latest! For those proceeding on to the next round, be prepared! Good luck guys and stay tuned!

UPDATE: In a stunning comeback, I get the victory against nsmb. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/ru-193922798

yep, once again, I get painful memories from aerodactyl. Great game though, and good luck moving forward XD

Thanks! That was a good game. Aerodactyl must of put Durant through flinching training. Durant reminded me of Dolph Ziggler at Survivor Series.

I will announce the final showdown battle matchup between Michelle and Pyrite by Christmas so please stay tuned!
