Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 My preferences are mixed; a lot of the stuff I like tends to be in the upper tiers because of viability, but design helps to an extent./shrug Anyway, I posted the 2nd batch of round 1 so go vote. ===Oh right, and elaborating on why I did the L brackets right after main one. Mostly it's so they're still generally fresh in mind as opposed to do them at the end. Also because the L bracket also gets the losers from the later rounds in regulation, it does make it easier to coordinate everything. Again, let's see how things work out.

Darj Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 @@Flash Flyer - Sakura Seems I didn't explain myself correctly. I didn't mean simply starting later with all the losing participants, but more like, only clash the losing Pokemon that make it into the later rounds, let's say Round 5 as example. With this, I mean that any Pokemon eliminated in earlier rounds are gone of the tournament for good. That ought to simplify the entire tournament considerably.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 I did it the way it was last tournament mostly to give everything one last shot (because RNG might've screwed them over, which it has a bad habit of doing). Originally, it was going to be the way you suggested, but changes. But then again, that was with a 256 roster; this one is 144 so should go a bit faster. Another factor was/is again my offsite life pertaining to academics and I really need to stress that. ====As a sidenote, you really don't have to use the mention function to tell me stuff. I'm following this thread so posting / quoting would get my attention just as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted October 10, 2018 Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Well, my nominations are not doing so well...I think I'm losing most of them this wave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2018 Araquanid and Wooper seem to be doing okay for now, but stuff can change within next 32 hours or so. I gotta look at the third batch to see how much any of us are screwed (i.e. RNG "conveniently" put multiple noms into one match). How it fares for you, idk because I need to remember what you nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Regarding what happened in 1-17: I didn't even realise that I didn't register my votes. I thought I did and thought nothing else of it, though if my votes were registered, the result would've been the same anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Well, it would've meant Mudkip got a one-up over Kyogre, but result wouldn't have changed otherwise. As far as this batch went, only lost Necrozma by a slim margin of 1 (and I'm still pissed at the RNG for tossing 3 in 1-18). A lot of close matches though [for everyone], so...guess that's a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Batch 3 is up, so go vote. As for where Corsola came from in 1-27, apparently Araquanid was listed twice and it was scheduled for an appearance here. So yeah, I apologize for not catching this mistake before the round started. Consequently, I had to RNG a random 'mon and that's what came up. ====Besides that, everything else should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 The LL bracket is currently up for the 1st round. 66 participants, so 2 of the matches will have 9 'mons whereas the rest have 8 as standard. You may vote for up to 4 'mons, but other than that, rules of engagement are the same. Top 4 will go on; rest of them go out completely. ====Also yeah, no monsters can vote. Just need to reiterate this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darj Posted October 22, 2018 Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Oh noes, I overlooked Poliwrath in L1-6 and I had a vote to spare. It would have made it to next round with the +1 vote. Is it too late to change that? By the way, I noticed in some matches the 3rd places made it, but in others they didn't, even if they also had like 4 votes. What's up with that?

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 Yeah, you're too late to vote now. As for the 3rd place things, the 4 with the highest numbers go on (though if ties happen and they're still within that limit, they'll go on). Even if 3rd place, if there's a tie for 2nd or 1st (which happens on both at times), then 3rd won't go on. Though, I suppose I can double check to be sure I did announce the winners correctly. (Reminder, loser brackets have twice the size of the regulation, mostly so I can clean them out faster) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2018 I want to give time, but then it wouldn't be fair to the other guys who voted before the deadline. Though admittedly, I was late in locking it a bit due to other things like coloring in old construction plans for class. As for the other thing, yeah, four highest scores move on (unless there's a tie somewhere in that area, then all of them move on). Might be easier to keep it same as the regulation brackets and not double up, but mostly doing it because of time / consideration for other tournaments now that place isn't dead now. ====Like I noted at the end of L1-8, I should have the R2 bracket up within the next couple days.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 6, 2018 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 First half of round 2 is up, so you have the next 48 hours to cast your vote (give/take a few minutes, but as a rule of thumb, might shut them off around 8:50 pm HST on Wednesday). If you guys want me to notify you when stuff is up, ask and I'll just mention you whenever the matches go up. ====I apologize for the long delay, but like I've said beforehand, I do have coursework outside this site (and estimating project calculations, work for soil mechanics and structures, etc do not permit time).

LordCowCowCowCowCowCowCowCow Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 So to make it clear. Sakura leaving means that this is canceled. They locked it themselves before retiring.That being said if anyone wants to make a new one PM me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
