Uber Doubles Cup (Second Round)

_Apocalypse_ · Nov 2nd, 2009, 5:41:36 PM

Welcome to Uber Doubles Cup, my first tournament here on Smogon.

What exactly is this Uber Doubles Cup you say?

Well, after hearing about how the Japanese VGC 2010 would allow the use of many of the best Uber Pokémon, I immediately wanted to make a team, ready in case the American rules were similar. However, to my disappointment, only 2 Ubers are allowed in any team, and I had a team ready of 4 prepared. Even though my team was useless, it made me wonder how a tournament would play out, and how much interest it would generate if I were to play it my preferred way. Anyway, now the more specific rules:

Rules

Battles will be 4 vs 4 Doubles.
All 4 Pokémon can be Uber.
Alternate formes are ALLOWED.
However, Arceus is BANNED.
Active Clauses will be the same as Standard VGC.
All battles will be set Level 50.
The format will be Swiss.
No legal hacks.

Second Round Pairings:

Bracket 1:

Drcossack v xXaZniNvaZnXx
Honchkrow v Tsuba-kun
Greysong v Cybertron
Tyler422 v sixonesix

Bracket 2:

Mattj v Ditto
Negator v Tri-Darksouls
Imperfectluck v Tenzuku
Politoad666 v Alakapimp

Bracket 3:

LightningFusion v Zerowing
Trufflehunter25 v dtrain
Tsunami v Ashitaka
Nico v Batpig

As well as this, the following matches from the last round need to be completed:

First Bracket:
Tsuba-kun v sixonesix

Second Bracket:
Imperfectluck v Mattj
Ditto v Tenzuku
Politoad666 v Negator

Third Bracket:
Ashitaka v Zerowing
Trufflehunter25 v Nico

All of these need to be completed by the end of tomorrow, or the member I deem most active and making the most effort will be given the win. In the event of this being unfair, I will toss a coin.

Again, 7 days for the battles. Enjoy your matches, and good luck to all.

Just PM'ed Tsubasa about our match, it should be done soon.

Predictions:

First Bracket

Tyler422 vs Cybertron
Sixonesix vs GreySong
xXaZniNvaZnXx vs Honchkrow - tough to say
Tsuba-kun vs Drcossack - gl

Second Bracket

Ditto vs Alkapimp
Politoad666 vs Imperfectluck
Tenzuku vs Negator
Tri-DarkSouls vs Mattj

Third Bracket

Tsunami vs dtrain
Ashitaka vs LightningFusion
Nico vs Batpig
Zerowing vs Trufflehunter25 - if they actually battle, easily Zero. Truffle is going to lose his DS again though.

Alakapimp · Nov 2nd, 2009, 7:36:04 PM

Of course. Hopefully, it will not be needed, as if they complete their match, they are then in theory ready when you are both online. I do not want certain people one round behind others, as this slows progress, and will become frustrating for other players.

*zerowing+* · Nov 4th, 2009, 5:51:25 PM

You have me marked as lost to Ashitaka which is not right.

Alakapimp · Nov 4th, 2009, 6:19:52 PM

well in the top part you got marked right as winning, the wrong user was just bolded in the bottom, but your opponent in the brackets is correct

Bianca222 · Nov 4th, 2009, 6:21:22 PM

GreySong · Nov 4th, 2009, 10:17:31 PM

Sent a PM to Cybertron.

_Apocalypse_ · Nov 5th, 2009, 11:53:55 AM

OK, at the request of Mattj, IPL vs Mattj has been decided on a coin flip. The winner of the toss was Mattj, so he can now start his matches.
