Identity

I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be 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. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] 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.

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.

Disconnections

Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move or redo the battle with the same teams but different moves. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't 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.

BTW Cybertron SO has this round Solace.

Thrown a PM Rukario's way. Hope to get this played before I got to le France for VGC :)
 
wtf why am i a sub, when people who signed up after me are in the tour.
my post was 231, and OVERGRO was the person who signed up after me, and is in the tour. TehDerek was the post after that, and he is in the tour also. there are also MANY more users who signed up after me, who are all in the tour.

I would like an explanation as to why I am not in the tour.

EDIT: also, you cannot say postcount etc. becuase IdiotFromMars's opponent has 1 post and joined 3 days ago.

thanks.
 
well thats kind of annoying. i spend 3 weeks trying to learn the vgc metagame so i can participate in the only meaningful tournament of this metagame that i can access due to my current location, and i get pushed into the subs (because my post wasnt 5 places ahead to hit the 2/3 cutoff)

is there any reason why the participants werent chosen like they were in st8?

edit: i suppose im ready and available to sub if need be!

errr thats not exactly a reason, but ok. doesnt really make sense to me considering last years one had enough activity issues. yes i realise i probably sound very rude but im quite annoyed

When discussing with other TDs, it was decided to use 62.5 first serve and 37.5 randomized.
