This Tournament is Kind of a Big Deal - Round 1
 

Approved by The Tournament Directors

Welcome to the Tournament that will turn boys into BIGs.

Info:
This tournament is one to reward those who have consistently done well during the DPP Tours. Similar to the format of the top 8 at the end of each Tour, this tournament will be a seeded, Best of Three tournament consisting of a OU, UU, and Uber match. As it is meant to feature the best and most consistent players, it will only be a 32 man, single elimination tournament.

For information on how the 32 participants were chosen, refer to this.

However, because of summer and overall inactivity, the following 4 users have been subbed out of the tournament
By request:
(9) Zak91, (31) Xtrashine
By inactivity:
(28) Abutorn, (30) dragonfruit

And will be replaced by
(9) Reyscarface, (28) Justinawe, (30) Philip7086, and (31) Stone_Cold

These 4 players were among the next few on the wins list, but even more importantly are all active so I can be assured that they will meet the deadlines.

Finally, here is the BRACKET for the Tournament!

Basic Battle Rules (Taken from ST6)

• Species Clause
  • You cannot have more than one of the same species of a Pokémon on your team.
    • Example: You cannot have two Charmander on your team.
• Sleep Clause
  • You cannot put two of your opponent's Pokémon asleep at the same time.
• Evasion Clause
  • A Pokémon cannot use Double Team or Minimize.
• OHKO Clause
  • A Pokémon cannot use Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold.
• Self-KO Clause
  • If both players are down to one Pokémon each, you are not allowed to use a move that KOs both Pokémon to force a tie.
    • Should a move which causes recoil damage ends the game in a tie, then the match will be redone.
      • Shoddybattle does not have ties. So, always calculate the recoil damage before deciding the winner if it comes close to the situation.
• Latias is Banned. The Current Tier Lists at the time of this post will be used for the remainder of this tournament, and as such, Salamence will be allowed.
• Timed Battle Clause ON
• Deadlines will be extremely strict. I understand that we are now in summer, but if you have to go away then that is your fault as you indicated to me that you wished to participate.
• Round 1 will last until Saturday June 26th at 2:00 PM EST. No extensions will be given.
• After this round, rounds will only last one week. I expect similar activity to SPL.

AS A NOTE: Round 2 will go until next Monday at 3:01 AM EST. I will allow matches that do not finish before this deadline to finish during the next week. I am specifically talking about Imperfectluck vs Stone_Cold and Krack vs Deep Thought. Everyone else I expect to be done before the deadline. I want every single match done. I do not want to disqualify someone.

Oh cool I did somehow make it.

bad ass and me see each other on IRC we shouldnt have troubles getting it done.

My bet is that it will come down to OU, since I think I have an edge in Ubers and he has a big one in UU.

this is more fun than play dough

maybe

picked out the best matches

Gouki vs Justinawe

highlight match gouki is pretty good but he's no justinawe

Reyscarface vsBad Ass

this match between two of the best is really hard to call i'll just have to call it a tie that's how good both of them really are. this should have been saved until the finals

locopoke vs KD24

i'd go as far as to say this is kd24's tournament to lose

good luck guys gonna make a stunningly nice 1st round exit probably

Loki vs remlabmez - I'm not realy sure about this one, but I predict it's going to come to to Ubers, and rem has more experience there I believe
Imperfectluck vs Stone_Cold - same as above, bit I picked Stone because IPL's teams are predictable
Earthworm vs Philip7086 - another hard call, I can't really decide because I don't know their experience outside OU
Lady Bug vs Panamaxis - good luck
Gouki vs Justinawe - obviously,
Sapientia vs Maniaclyrasist - if Maniac can shake the rust off he definitely got this
-Mind- vs JabbaTheGriffin - Jabba's is pretty solid at all the tiers
PurpleWeezing vs Twist of Fate - no comment
Reyscarface vs Bad Ass - he's a better thief than me
Fabbles vs Ace Matador. - iirc, Fabbles is a beast at Ubers, and he's good at OU
Eo Ut Mortus vs Taylor - I haven't really seen Taylor playing
Kevin Garrett vs Atticus - does KG play anything besides OU?
Arin vs twash - "I was the king of D/P"
locopoke vs KD24 - KD hasn't played in a while
DarkLucario vs Mien. - I think I've only seen DL playing once, and Mien's so classy
Deep Thought vs Krack - I'd say he got Ubers and UU, he's so classy too...
