Do you find yourself losing more than you're winning in tournaments? Or are you too accustomed to winning, and want to take losing for a spin? We can't all be the best of the best, but unlike any other tournament, the Reverse Tournament IV rewards your losses and highlights those players that have never been able to come out on top. In this tournament, everything is backwards - you play with your opponent's team and try your hardest to lose, because losing will put you into the next round.

There is a guide for this tournament here. If you are unsure whether or not you want to participate in this tournament or you want tips to help build and play, be sure to check it out!

Tournament Specific Rules

Sending in your team:

- You must PM me your team prior to completing your match in the current round. I will give you the team you will be using (the one your opponent built) when both teams are sent in to me. If you do not send in a team by midway to the first deadline, I will sub you out.
- Send me your team at least 24 hours before the time you schedule with your opponent, not ten minutes beforehand. I will swap teams when I'm free to do so.​

Teambuilding / Battling:

- Don't use trickery to lose (win), including D/Cs, forfeiting, etc.
- Only one Pokémon with a Choice item is allowed.
- Each Pokémon must have four moves.
- Assault Vest is banned.
- Each Pokémon can only have two STAB damaging attacks. You can use Sludge Bomb, Poison Sting, and Toxic all on the same set, but not Sludge Bomb, Poison Sting, and Sludge Wave.
- You can only switch twice every five turns.

Take special note of the last rule. I can check your team for breaking rules two through five, but if you make a mistake with the last rule it is grounds for forfeit. You can switch twice through turns 1-5, but any unused switches will not carry over to turns 6-10; they will just reset. I advise keeping track by talking to your opponent throughout the battle, so neither of you make the mistake of doing so.​

General Rules

General Tournament Guidelines apply (http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/tournament-rules-and-general-guidelines.3486049/).

In addition to the above, you are playing in standard XY OU, meaning the following Clauses are in effect for each battle unless otherwise explicitly stated.

---

***IMPORTANT***: Send your teams in PM to me ( Zebraiken ) by midnight EST on Wednesday, October 8th, halfway to the deadline.

Semi-Finals:

If a player's name is underlined, they have sent in their team. When both players have their names underlined and teams are swapped, you may play your games.

McMeghan vs hard
Brap vs TewMew


DEADLINE: Sunday, October 12th

Very gg hard, that was a really close and intense game! Good luck in final, you should do pretty well.
 
I contacted chimpact in the first place, saying give me any time that's not in the middle of the night for me and I should be able to make it. - 27th Sep
I'd been able to battle pretty much every day after that, but I was waiting ages for him to send his team, despite me messaging him both via VM on the 29th and on the 30th in the round 4 thread:
so deadline today and no team from chimpact?
I only got chimpact's team on the morning of the 3rd of October. Later that day I messaged him with a suggested time. No reply from him was received.

I saw he was / had been recently online (within the past 20 minutes if memory serves) so I sent a new VM on Saturday the 4th, and I looked on irc for him. No sign. But then later that day, around midnight my time, I saw he had been online after I had sent him the earlier VM (once more, there was no reply), so I followed up on that VM with a slightly angry,
as if to ask why he hadn't replied. At then at 1:51am my time on Sunday morning, he finally replied with a blunt,
but I was asleep then, because it was in the middle of the night, as I had told him not to suggest in the original VM.

I hope I've made how much I value this tournament clear. Unfortunately, I was not able to get on Smogon yesterday due to a family bereavement. I apologise that I could not get online, but it was really out of my hands. Right here I have provided reasoning for 1 day of absence from smogon, while I have no idea to why chimpact did not reply to all the various messages I sent him or suggest a suitable time himself.

Please don't let my past reputation cloud your judgement.

brap > chimpact AW

i have received tewmew's team, so please send me yours ASAP so we can get the last match done :) Brap
 
Could never have 'lost' after I 10% burnt him on turn 1 :( Finally succumbed on turn 291.

Why does no-one use psycho shift? Just realised how awesome it would be. Ah well, too late now. gg I suppose.
