Buy Your Own Team (tournament)

Rules:

-All battles will be held on Shoddy Battle (Smogon Server).

-Standard clauses are in effect, this means Evasion/OHKO/Self KO/Sleep/Species. See the Rules for more information. The Ubers list, however, will be slightly edited for this tournament.

-The tournament will be double-elimination.

-In this tournament you will be given a certain amount of points per round. You must then spend these points in order to "buy" Pokemon to use. You have to buy your whole team and you MUST use six Pokemon (so no spending all of your points to have two legal ubers, haha). Other than that, matches go by standard rules.

The Point System:

6 Points: Garchomp, Sky Forme Shaymin, Manaphy, Scizor

5 Points: Gyarados, Latias, Rotom-A, Heatran, Salamence, Metagross, Tyranitar, Infernape, Lucario, Jirachi, Gengar

You guys are in Daylight now, so my time is EDT-5.

=P

First round brackets are up! Deadline is November 24th.

I used to always fight Zack but now I always fight Shiki, apparently. .-.

Oh cool, I got a bye. =D

I would say something mean to you right now, Ninja, but I recently watched "There she is!!" and it has put me in a state of near-euphoria.

YOU GET OFF EASY THIS TIME, BYE OBTAINER.

Buuuh, finding Mimi on is hard.

x_x

Isn't Buy Your Own Team supposed to be BUILD your own team?

I'm done with this for a while. I'll just drop this tournament, I have to work too much to worry about this anyway.

You can call it whatever you want, I guess? o_0 Sorry, I don't follow XD. From what I've seen so far, people are using different teams...?

But alright. I don't see why you joined, then. I mean, I work too, and I also go to college full time and volunteer. I still can find ten minutes to battle. Seems like something else is up but if you'd rather use the "work" excuse, go ahead o_0.

PMed Shiki a couple days ago and haven't heard back.

WHERE ARE YOU SHIKI.

I work more than you and things have come up which are taking up a good amount of time, you could always just text to ask instead of making implications.

You don't need to follow, happily, I don't have time to be proving cheating anyway~

I'm gonna have to forfeit to you sami since i haven't been able to catch you on. sorry

I'm sure you work more than me but I'm also a full time college student XD.

Cheating on Shoddy Battle is difficult to do. Feel free to send me the log, though, I guess. I wasn't really around when you guys battled so I don't know if it was hax-y or whatever. But I can certainly read it over. Or send it to Ninja if you're afraid I'll be biased XD.

Espeon, since I'm giving an extension to Zenith and Shiki you shouldn't feel like you have to drop out. Just shoot me a PM and we can come up with an actual time to meet, haha. Even tonight would work =).

Shoddy finally decided to work long enough to allow me and Zenith to play each other, came out with a narrow win.

Confirming, though I already told you.

Match-ups for round 2 are up! Sorry about the delay.

How many points for round two? 16 again?

Also, we PM our teams to you?

Ninja, the points are listed above the match-ups XD.

Nope, just save a log in case you suspect someone of cheating.
