Rando Pokemon Tourney V Post

Post by pholtos »

This is a preliminary and basic signup for my next random pokemon tourney. Showdown will be used like in previous tourneys.

I'm going to be returning to this series' roots... sort of. The gimmick of this tourney is that you can either use showdown's random battle system OR you will be given a number of pokemon, and using those pokemon make a team (this option is for the more experienced). This tourney is pre-made as a double elimination but can be changed up if necessary. (Also preset to best of three for the time being.)

As a note, if you pick number of teams, and your opponent picks showdown's system, it defaults to showdown's system. You can be all right with both and if two people match up that don't mind either, they can decide when the time comes.

Please remember to save replays of all battles and post them in this thread for validation.
If you would like to see any of the previous tourneys for an idea of how they work, there are links in my signature. (Or at least I thought there were, probably had to remove them due to text limitations) Here's the third one.

Please add your name if you would like to participate, as well as which style you'd prefer (or both).

Ah yes, I'll join if there's an odd number, and default to showdown so as to not have an unfair advantage.

I'm down for some pokermans.

I should be monkeyshrapnel on showdown and I'd prefer picking and choosing over random if possible.
Uh...Do I just sign here? What do you mean it should be obvious? There are people in this world...well...a whole lot of people that can't follow basic instructions!

This is a really silly suggestion but I've been really keen on monotype random battles and how it's basically luck of the draw. Maybe one of the tours could be in that format some day.

Will probably wait a few more days, and after which we could just do a round robin where everyone faces everyone, if the number is semi-low.

And so now we get into the brunt of the matter, what kind of tournament would you guys like, swiss? Round Robin? Or something like single or double elimination?

(Swiss is like round robin except people will get paired based on record while round robin is simply everyone faces everyone.)

As you could imagine, round robin would take much longer than a single/double elimination tourney.

As for the getting X random mons, how many per person and should there be any limitations on what pokemon can be randomly selected?

Ah, it seems I've missed this, but there's already 8, and that's a nice and round number. That's what I get for using mainly discord now

Either way, I won't mind as a spectator...

Swiss worked well last time, so I guess I'd vote for that.
As for the number of random mons...we used 16 last time, but I'm not sure if we need that many? I'd say 12-16, but I'm not too sure on that.

If we settle on swiss or round robin, I'd be all right with adding you in. (Also myself) So we'd have 10 people. Feel free to give me your preference between showdown's random or me randomly giving you pokemon just in case.

Either one will work, though if we're just entering the random matches on Showdown... I vastly prefer you give us the pokemon to that.

So looks like the tourney is going to be a swiss, with 12 pokemon for those receiving them from me. I will be joining, and using showdown's system so as to not get an unfair advantage.

As for the pokemon, the only thing anyone has suggested is no ubers. So I may go with that unless someone says otherwise.

PM ME IF YOU ARE STILL PARTICIPATING, NOT PMING ME MEANS BEING REMOVED.
Just tell me if you are still available to participate and also if you have any other suggestions or comments. I need to be sure everyone who signed up is still available to participate and whatnot.

Ah yes, and if we're doing swiss, how many rounds shall we do? The site says "For 7 rounds or more, it's possible that your tournament will end early, but there will be a clear winner."
