Welcome to the first ever ADV Cup!

Tournament Rules:
General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
Smogon Classic rules can be read here.
Standard ADV OU
Best of three, single elimination.
Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown! PO if both players agree
I like replays, you should post them :]
Do not make baseless activity posts, get in contact with your opponent and report missed times / scheduling issues only.

Identity

I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.

Scouting

Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting, whether it be spying on another teams irc channel or following your opponent around on PO. There is a difference between "ipl is known for using stall" and "let me follow ipl around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter.

With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.

Timer Clause

As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.

Disconnections

If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.

I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

Oh. That was a short deadline. For some reason I thought we had until next weekend. I guess I deserved the activity win if one of us did, but I'll try to play TheSweeper today, if he's up for it.

Sorry for not telling you about our situation.
We played the two first battles and it ended 1-1, then Iconic had to leave, then I was the less active ever since. We are still in contact and we will play the last one, probably later today.
 
yeah i don't know how u manage to get away with consistently delaying tournament battles in literally every single tournament u play but it is getting pretty tiring, especially cause i had to cancel plans to play now and have been sat here waiting for u for 45 mins and this is not even the first time this has happened this round

but whatever, you'll get an extension just like in every other round of the classic and we'll play on your terms in the next few days no doubt
 
So here I try to show off good sportsmanship and I just end up in a lot of trouble for it :mad:. Down 1-0 to TheSweeper. We play the rest tomorrow.
 
who whoa whoa I tried to play the games with Prague Kick in r3 several times before the weekend when it was already established i couldn't then tried to catch him twice yesterday with PMs before I had to go myselfI also have the logs to prove that.

Can we appeal a DQ like that? I tried to make the game happen on my part as well.

well, from my point of view you didn't reply to a single vm and didn't bother to make a post in the thread until after the round had ended. You should know that you need to set up your matches by using the vm system by now
 
Actually all our correspondence was done through VM or PM between me and him. If you want to log into my account to verify we exchanged 10+ PMs over the past week and just kept missing each other. You or one of the tournament directors can log into my account if you want to see for yourself.
