Explanation:

Welcome one and all to the Masters Invitational Finale! All year, PokeMMO's top competitors have battled it out for a place in this tournament for one reason: to show they are the best of the best. I would like to give a very big congratulations to all who have qualified for this event. I feel it is a great honor to be hosting such a tournament. With that being said, let's get into the details..

 

This will be a Swiss tournament. For an explanation on Swiss tournaments, refer to the to spoiler below:

[spoiler]A Swiss tournament tends to pair opponents based on skill level and record.
For example - 
Round 1
A def B
C def D
Since A and C both won the first round, they would be paired up for the 2nd round
Round 2
B def D
C def A

The winner is then determined by the best record and number of points. An example scoring system would be below.

2 points for a win
0 points for a loss
1 point for draw[/spoiler]

Better this way.

Techinically speaking, the 100s meta devoured the 50s meta with the incoorporation of the flat battles format. 50s as we know it will only survive by the reformatting of the levels of each dueling pokemon to "50", but the meta itself will more closely resemble 100s.

 

Aside from the obvious introduction of Tyranitar and Dragonite, you will begin to see less Blisseys and more of the "pseudo-walls" such as Vaporeon and Dusclops, and more of the defensive walls like Dusclops and Weezing. Skarmory may make a resurgence, but with the advent of Magneton's popularity this may become less plausible.

Congratulations Amanu for winning the tournament and xkuroy for coming in second!

Thanks everyone who showed up today.
