***Third BigFooty Pokemon X/Y Tournament***​

Welcome to the third BigFooty Pokemon X and Y Tournament. This is not a standard tournament - it is a draft tournament. This will be explained later in the post.

We'll start by getting an expression of interest, then Dannnnnnnnnn will develop the draft order at a later date.

Please attempt to read the whole post. I realise it's long, but I'd rather everybody know the rules. At the very least, read the 'Battle Rules' and 'What You Need To Do: A Step-By-Step Guide' sections.

Battle Rules
The rules that will be used are fairly basic with a few variations.
  • Fixed level 50 single battle.
  • Six Pokemon plus two reserves.
  • No Ubers - complete list:
Blaziken
Darkrai
Deoxys
Deoxys-Attack
Dialga
Genesect
Giratina
Giratina-Origin
Groudon
Ho-Oh
Kyogre
Kyurem-Black
Kyurem-White
Lugia
Mewtwo
Palkia
Rayquaza
Reshiram
Shaymin-Sky
Xerneas
Yveltal
Zekrom
Soul Dew Latias
Soul Dew Latios

Banned Mega Pokemon

Mega-MewTwo (X & Y)
Mega-Blaziken
Mega-Lucario
Mega-Kangaskhan
Mega-Gengar
  • Item clause (no two Pokemon can hold the same item).
  • Evasion clause (no moves which directly increase evasiveness, eg. Double Team, Minimise; Lax Incense and BrightPowder hold items count, as do abilities such as Snow Cloak + Hail combinations).
  • Sleep clause (you are only permitted to put one opposition Pokemon to sleep at once; NB: if the opposition uses Rest, this does not count as the one).
  • OHKO clause (no moves that have the potential to kill an opponent in one move, eg. Guillotine, Sheer Cold).
  • Each participant is allowed one Mega Pokemon. To select a Mega Pokemon, just select the regular Pokemon. If that Pokemon has 2 Mega forms (Charizard), identify which form you intend to use.
Format
Depending on the number of participants, each person will be assigned to one of four (hopefully equal) groups), and you'll play each person in your group once. The pools will be generated partially randomly, however, we will be using a seeding system based on the results of the last tournament. The top 8-12 players (based on the previous tournaments ladder) who are participating in this tournament will be given a seeding. Depending on final numbers, each pool will consist of 2-3 randomly allocated seeds - one from the top four, one from 5-8, and perhaps one from 9-12 if we get enough participants. This guarantees that those players that performed well in the first tournament will not face each other until at least the quarter finals.
There'll be a ladder per group, which uses overall wins primarily, followed by total fainted Pokemon. For example, say two individuals are locked at three wins, one loss. Player A had 12 Pokemon defeated throughout his four battles, while player B had 15. In this scenario, player A will be on top of player B on the ladder.
The top two in each group will move on to the quarter finals, while the rest are out of the tournament. The matchups in the quarters will be as follows:
Quarter A: #1 Group A vs. #2 Group D
Quarter B: #1 Group B vs. #2 Group C
Quarter C: #1 Group C vs. #2 Group B
Quarter D: #1 Group D vs. #2 Group A
In the event of a tie (both wins and fainted Pokemon) for either first or second place, the two tying individuals will be forced to face off in a tiebreaker battle.
Quarter-finals will be best of three battles.

The winners of the quarter-finals will progress to the semi-finals, while the losers are out of the tournament. The semi-final matchups will be as follows:
Semi A: Winner Quarter A vs. Winner Quarter C
Semi B: Winner Quarter B vs. Winner Quarter D
Semi-finals will be best of three battles. Semi-final winners progress to the grand final.

The grand final will be a best of five battles format.

Tournament Champion - Wowsk


How Your Team Will Be Selected - Step-by-Step
  1. The draft order will be determined
  2. From there, the draft will follow a serpentine pattern - ie. the draft order will reverse for the second round, then follow the drawn order for the third, etc.
  3. This will continue for eight rounds before all Pokemon are selected.
  4. Then you can either be happy or depressed, depending on how many of the Pokemon you wanted, you got.

Tournament Rules and Other Notes
  • Following the draft, all teams will be placed in the OP.
  • It is the player's responsibility to notice any inconsistencies between the team list and the Pokemon they battle against.
  • There will be a 72-hour limit imposed on each round of battles. If one party has been online, but the other hasn't (and has not let anybody know of a delay), the non-present party will have forfeited that match. If both parties have been absent, points will not be given to either individual. If this is the case in a final, 'Lucky Losers' from the previous round will be drawn into that section.
  • It is recommended that you record everybody's Friend Codes prior to the tournament's start in order to speed things up. These will be placed in the 'Current Participants' section.
  • The quarter- and semi-finals are best of three battles and the grand final is best of five. All other matches are only one battle.
  • Discussion is totally fine and very much encouraged. Would be good to get a sense of how the battles went rather than just results.
  • After each battle, both parties will be asked to report two things on the thread:
    • The result (eg. Player X won, I lost).
    • The 'score' in terms of fainted Pokemon (eg. If you lost six Pokemon and beat three of your opponent's, your score would be 3-6). Always list the score with the amount of Pokemon you defeated first.
  • If anybody is suspected of deliberately disconnecting they will be immediately disqualified. Consult me if any arguments begin due to suspicious disconnecting.
  • I'm working on getting an award for the winner. Stay tuned.

Hacks
Entering hacks into this tournament is considered to be both against the spirit of the tournament, and against the rules. It is advised that no hacks are used at all out of respect to all of the participants who choose to train by hand.

This is a friendly tournament intended to be enjoyable for all parties involved - there is very little fun involved in being swept by a Magikarp with 600 base attack (trust me, I know). The rules may seem overly strict but while hacks can be fun to battle with, they have their place in the metagame - and their place is not this tournament.

But I wish to contest the rule that all Pokemon in the evolutionary chain are taken when one of them is picked.

Blissey & Chansey are both very viable Pokemon in their own right and probably both go top 20 if available.

You should really only take off that Pokemon (and it's Mega forms) off the board.

Agreed. I missed that one when I copy and pasted from Dannnnnnnnnn's last OP, haha.

Unfortunately can't swing this one. I'm in Europe for the next 6 weeks and only have a Y version with me that has a 90 minute play-through of a Nuzlocke on it.

While I'm sure my Bunnelby Boris would be available come draft time, I don't think id stand much of a chance using him.

If there's a tourney number 4 I'm definitely back in though - kinda cut that I can't do this one.

Sorry guys, I've been a hell of a lot busier than I expected to be.

I'll randomise the draft and help make sure the tournament runs smoothly if need be but for the most part, Igloo will run this one. Just don't have the time.

Is the draft going to be randomised instead of going by your previous rankings?
