That time just ruined our chance I guess. Why would you put it so late on a saturday when this always takes about 5 hours and there exist some good europeans players as well. It's not all murica and they should be able to play midday like 1 pm on a saturday ..

Edit: btw what is up woth the time anyways? :P you have two times in est atm below the poster

This, earlier please. .-P

 

Anyway, thanks for hosting turnaments Strychnine

I won't have this tournament running longer than three hours if I can help it.

There'll be four teams playing simultaneously (hopefully) at all times.

 

will Tournament Mode be used? Or do i need extra Pokemon at level 50?

All matches will be played in tournament mode, yes.

 

 

An odd number of matches is easier to determine outcome
I would prefer 5v5 to 3v3 since it shows more team effort than 3 individuals
So we could do:
Ou
UU
NU
Ou doubles
100s NU doubles

Two problems (that I can immediately identify) with running more than three matches:

Possibility of cutting out new teams (I imagine 5 competitive players each specialising in different tiers is a big ask for a new comp team). I'd like to balance this evenly between new and established teams and I think it's in a good spot right now.

The second is a logistics problem, but realistically there's no way to supervise 10 potential matches (two lots of 5v5) running at once. It would be incredibly chaotic for the host as well (imagining a worst case scenario). I believe the quality of the event would be diminished and not up to the standard that's expected. 

 

 

Yeah, don't know what happened with the poster...it was PST at some stage.

Well these are some good words, nice to hear it. Anyway, if you seriously plan to run this tournament not longer then 3 hours, then you'll need something like wall clause in pokedailys. Otherwise... we all know what will happen

This sounds like a joke after watching/participating in the last 20-25 official tournaments, but it's gonna be interesting, let's see how it goes.

(Usually people wall the shit out in important tournaments, and half of the participating staff fall asleep)

 

But I can't wait to see how it goes, hopefully smoothly :D I will be looking forward to it.

I won't host a Team Tournament where two matches aren't run simultaneously. With that being said, if a team has won a match (are sitting at 2-0 with a match still playing) I'll be moving as quickly as possible so the unnecessary match will be moved past (sometimes forcibly). 

Players who've participated in Team Tourneys hosted by myself in the past will be familiar with this (hopefully).

 

Regarding the event time, it's dependant upon staff availability and accommodating as many timezones as we can. For the next TT we'll see if we can better accomodate EU.
