Few Announcements:

First of all apologies for the late thread. November is killing me. I will edit the poster in today as well. 


You might've noticed that this month we are splitting TT into channel 4 and 5. This will take place only for round 1 and 2. Teams from matches 1-4 will be asked to go to channel 4, and teams from matches 5-8 to channel 5.

 

All important messages will be sent on /Global And /shout, including calling teams or the start of the round. Team captains can go to channel 5 for team calls, it will be easier.

Another important message: Next month TT will be held in Unova, on Victory road.

Spoiler

I assume it will be either 15th of December or 22nd of December. 

I know that Silph Co is a nostalgic place, but this choice for the test is made to avoid some problems. Currently, we lose a lot of time because players need to go to the PC after each round. PC on Victory road is really close. 

It will also help with the organisation of the whole thing. The place we've chosen is easier to manage and clear, we can gather all players at once and see how it will go. 

 

Because of this, TT will be moved to a new location, that can potentially change in the future as well.

FIVE TIERS PLEASE.

 

Can you seriouslly give us any legit reasons why this isn't  thing already?

Literally same list from one TT: 

-lag for players who were forming 5 players line, causing some people to dc, causing matches to be postponed for a minute or two

-Brackets not being able to fill in, teams running some tiers with random pokemon just to fill 5 players

-teams asking if they can run 4 players.

-that one time when we had like 12 teams and 2 more decided they can try to play 4 minutes before Team Tournament

-Amount of players that are thrown out of the channel

-Literally one test with LC, which not every team took as a good change.

 

As you can notice, we took some actions to prevent those above from happening. I will run 5 tiers team tournament only when I will be sure it's in perfect condition to do so. On a little less serious note, if I will have to spend minutes asking to form a line of players again, we might never see 5 tiers tournament again. I will come back to think about it after December's doubles tournament.

Not a problem if you split the tournament in two channels like on last few tts, also if lag is really an Issue I have no idea why you'd pick unova as the next region to host the tournament when it is 100% more graphically demanding than kanto or hoenn.

Maybe do a smaller bracket, with a loser bracket even so you dont have to halve the participating teams, also the entire pourpose of TTs is to have the best competitive teams. If a team does not have players/pokemon capable of playing in the five main tiers of the game then they are NOT a high level competitive team anyways and wouldn't be missed.

Same as last point, we want high level competitive teams participating, not some 4 random jajas with the same teamtag using storyline pokemon. You could even adjust the registration format to specify which players register on which tier so you don't have to even bother with teams that cant fullfil the minimum requiriments.

I fail to see how this is even related to having 5 man TTs

Again, you've been splitting the bracket in a couple channels to avoid this happening, so keep doing it and it'll work. Plus, when you are thrown out of a channel it doesn't block you from switching back, If I could be on the same channel with half my team during the halloween event so we could figure out how to beat the pumpking boss then 5 players can manage to do the same for the brief period it takes them to click "Accept duel request"

LC just recently became one of the main tiers, and it's grown a lot (being hosted in PSL, having community combat and regular tournaments) If I complained about not liking ou would you take away it from TTs? ofcourse not, because we play by tiering ettiquete and not by what I want, LC is offically a main tier and so are doubles and nu, neither should have prefference over the others and that's it.

Unova Poke League is such a small area... A clear downgrade from silph co.

Gonna turn TT even more laggy and into an even worse clusterfuck of pixels.

 

If distance from PC is really being an issue (which I doubt is even that big an issue in the first place anyway)

Can always:

5 tiers TT are shit. Already tested in the past and it was terrible. Not enough players, not enough teams. Never again plz.

In the past LC wasnt a main tier.

 

Now theres enough of a player base and official support (via tournaments) to make it work

Nearly all LC CC were canceled because lack of players, so let's not kid ourselves. Also, it doesn't really matter if there are enough players in one tier or another. The problem is that there are not enough players in general and most teams that sign up do not have 5 active players speciallized in 5 different tiers rdy to play each month. It's riddiculous. 

 

Last time so many people asked for 5 tiers TT and when we got 5 tiers TT, the same people that pushed for it didn't even show up. It's a nice concept in general to have all competitive tiers at once - yes, even dubs - during TT, but I feel most people don't even realise what that implies. At the time, in RNG, as soon as the 5 tiers TT announcement was made, the team died automatically because even though we were quite active, we all knew we would never get 5 dedicated players online at the same time at the end of each month. 
 

I also believe that if we have 5 tiers TT, there will be less competition for the best official event in game. Some teams will need filler players to compete and that's just an hype killer. I rather watch 3 great duels than 5 shitty ones where all the talent of a team is divided.

 

5 tiers TT are horrible. Really. It's not just an idea, it was tested and was disastreous. Let's please not do the same mistake.
