Default The Unscrupulous Tiering Director Tournament - Round 4

Signups / Round 1 / Round 2 / Round 3

If you haven't heard, we've decided to revise Smogon's tiering system. Everyone knows that the OU council is run by people who don't actually play, and suspect tests are just ban-happy bandwagoning fools who don't appreciate what Blaziken and Shaymin-S contribute to the metagame. Our new system will be a democracy: everyone will have a say.

The Unscrupulous Tiering Director Tournament



Rules:
Standard OU rules apply
- No Ubers
- Evasion Clause
- OHKO Clause
- Sleep Clause
- Species Clause
- Drizzle + Swift Swim Clause
- Moody Clause
- Wifi Battle
- Timed Battle

This is a BW2 Tournament. Battles are to be played by default on Showdown, but can be played on PO if both people agree.

Sign-up Instructions

Whatever you ban will remain banned for EVERYONE in the tournament--that is, until you lose. If you lose in this tournament, you will be deemed unqualified to act as a tiering leader and will be assassinated by Smogon administrators in the middle of the night. Your bans will be revoked at the beginning of the tournament's next round.

You may ban something even if other people have already banned it. Bans enacted by multiple people will remain in effect until all people with the same ban are eliminated.

You cannot change your bans! Nobody likes a flipflop tiering leader.

Substitutes' bans will not take effect. Substitutes will adopt the bans of the players whose positions they take.

---

I have included the banlists both in the form of a spreadsheet and in hide tags below. I have also included a list of available OU Pokemon.

Make sure to review these lists carefully!

Spreadsheet

Banned Pokemon
Banned Moves
Banned Items
Available OU Pokemon
Unbanned (red indicates newly available)

Notable bans (does not include everything):
- Drizzle (Politoed) and Drought (Ninetales) are banned; all other forms of inducing weather have been unbanned
- All entry hazards are still banned.
- Spore is still banned.
- Scald is still banned.
- The only two remaining item bans are Rocky Helmet and Eviolite.
Meloetta, Genesect, and Shadow Tag Gothitelle are all banned, seeing as they did not exist at the beginning of this tournament.

Notable unbans:
- Auto-sand has been unbanned.
- Choice Scarf has been unbanned. Say goodbye to basic Speed tiers.
- All non-OU Pokemon are available for use, including Zurusukin.
- A bunch of BW2-exclusive threats have been unbanned, including Keldeo, Breloom, Tornadus-T, and Amoonguss. Thundurus-T remains banned, though.
- Draco Meteor and Outrage are unbanned now, along with every Dragon besides Dragonite.
- Hidden Power is unbanned now.

Activity wins:
50. DC. vs 106. Evil
76. Alakapimp vs 116. Lady Bug
96. DarkLoic vs 131. ShadowFC
13. LighTz911 vs 62. myzozoa
79. sheep vs 124. cescken

Coinflips:
35. Dracule Mihawk vs 100. Asek

Pairings:
81. DestinyUnknown vs 68. Ginku
116. Lady Bug vs 62. myzozoa
69. Zebraiken vs 93. toshimelonhead
129. papai noel vs 35. Dracule Mihawk
122. Ricky Horror vs 96. DarkLoic
8. CrashinBoomBang vs 3. Jets
1. Heist vs 50. DC.
124. cescken vs 18. mostwanted

Pairings w/Bans

Highlight Matches

81. DestinyUnknown (Eviolite / Blissey) vs 68. Ginku (Ninetales / Spikes)

These two battlers are known more for their prowess (or lack thereof, in Ginku's case) in the lower tiers; however, both have proved that their abilities transcend all metagames, Ginku having somehow made it to the finals of several recent tournaments, and DestinyUnknown having landed a spot on Spain's WCOP team. Will Ginku hail in the start of a new German era of dominance, or will DestinyUnknown show him who the true European power is?

116. Lady Bug (Jirachi / Baton Pass) vs 62. myzozoa (Thundurus-T / Baton Pass)

Lady Bug has been in a highlight match every round I think. But he hasn't sent me any logs so fuck him. Can WCOP champ myzozoa beat the self-proclaimed King of the Desert?

1. Heist (Politoed / Scald) vs 50. DC. (Stealth Rock / Jirachi)

Small tournament champion Heist is like the old man who sits in the park and plays chess with random people every day. He wears an oversized coat and listens to Bloc Party with his hip friend Giga Punch. DC is like the 13-year-old challenger who ends up beating him after many long and arduous matches. Will this be that match, or will Heist hold onto his coveted position?

69. Zebraiken (Thundurus-T / Spikes) vs 93. toshimelonhead (Substitute / Spore)

Longstanding tournament player toshimelonhead faces the newer yet on-fire Zebraiken. Can toshi use his experience to put a stop to Zebraiken's hot streak, or will he be trampled by the Zebra's recent success?

Submit your logs :)! Thanks!

Deadline: Friday, August 31 at 11:59 PM CDT (GMT-5)

After double-checking the banned move list, you apparently used Spore which was banned.
