The VGC '98 Tournament: Round 2

Sign Ups
Round 1
Round 2

It’s time for a VGC 2011 style metagame with a retro twist. Fight with your original 151 favorites in a modern way!

Rules:

...

Banlists:

...

Tournament Schedule:

Subject to Change

A lot of you probably noticed that we began with a rather awkward number of players to begin with, 24. At the moment we have (or we should have once R1 matches are done) a field of twelve on our hands. To narrow this down to a field of eight for easier elimination in round 3, several byes have been given out. These byes are not random, but given out on how quickly users completed their round 1 matches as a reword for making my life a lot easier.

Round 2 Pairings:

Eiganjo: 0132 0995 2233 - Bye
Rukario: (Ask for FC) - Bye
Biosci: 2065 2649 9332 - Bye
El Scorcho: (Ask for FC) - Bye
BlaqJstr: 2022 3154 2648 vs Stormfront: 3482 1859 7062
Alphabet123: 4899 5255 5911 vs sandman: (Ask for FC)
Slashmolder: 4556 0047 5591 VS Nightblade7000: 4169 3885 0675
Killah: 4556 5385 0556 VS pokemonrocks777: 4814 2762 5175

Because there are quite a few round 1 matches left to complete, I will increase the deadline to June 4th (two weeks from now) to get your match done. However, all remaining round 1 matches need to be completed by the 28th! If you don't have it done by then, it's coin flip time so at least one of you can get your Round 2 match out of the way.

HEY BUDDY

YEAH, YOU

STOP WHAT YOU'RE DOING RIGHT NOW AND SEND YOUR OPPONENT A VM TO SCHEDULE A TIME TO BATTLE!

Maybe somebody could post a log in this thread, or PM me one if they want the team to stay private? I am not always on PO but I just want to see how these battles play out
