Double Conquest

**voodoo pimp** · Jan 29th, 2013, 9:05:26 PM

Welcome to our first Smogon Doubles Challenge! This challenge aims to welcome Smogon players to our irc channel #doubles while having a friendly competition to enjoy this awesome metagame!

In a Nutshell:

All participants would start off with 20 GOLD DOUBLOONS. You win by either being:

the first to earn 80 GOLD DOUBLOONS or
the one last standing.

The Nitty Gritty Rules:

1) Participants would challenge each other at our irc chan #doubles
2) The winner gains half of loser's' GOLD DOUBLOONS and the loser would lose GOLD DOUBLOONS by the same amount
3) Exception: If the loser has less than 4 GOLD DOUBLOONS, the winner would gain minimum of 2 GOLD DOUBLOONS and loser lose the same amount of GOLD DOUBLOONS (even if that means negative currency)
4) Players with less than 1 GOLD DOUBLOON is eliminated from the challenge
5) Additional Means of Earning or Losing GOLD DOUBLOONS:

If you win a game that eliminates a player you earn 3 additional GOLD DOUBLOONS
You win 6 GOLD DOUBLOONS for a 5-win streak; 12 GOLD DOUBLOONS for a 10-win streak; etc
You lose doubloons by inactivity; GOLD DOUBLOONS lost = Days w/o battling - 2. This means you must play at least once every other day to avoid this penalty

Reward:

Every surviving participant will receive 1 pt for every 10 GOLD DOUBLOONS
The winner of the challenge will receive an additional 2 pts
Every eliminated player will lose 1 pt

How to Enter:

Simply join #doubles and ask for a match for the SmogDubs challenge. Report your win / loss in this thread, and you'll automatically be registered as a participant.

All participants track record will be stored in this spreadsheet

Ladder Conquest

To make your ladder experience interesting, we'll be initiating a Ladder Conquest. Each cycle of ladder conquest would last roughly 2-3 weeks, and within this timeframe one can gain leaderboard points for achieving one of the two:

1) Make it to the top 10 of Smogon Double's Leaderboard

1st place: 10 pts
2nd place: 8 pts
3rd - 5th place: 6 pts
6th-9th place: 4 pts
10th place: 2 pts

2) Reach a Glicko2 rating of 1950 with 75 or less deviation

post a screenshot with the qualifying rating to earn 1 pt

~ You may sign up with multiple alts as long as they are FRESH (no Smogon Doubles game played on these alts).

Even if multiple alts of yours end up in top 5, only your highest alt would be rewarded for the primary achievement
However, the secondary achievement can be rewarded multiple times, as long as your alts reach above the glicko2 rating threshold and have not been rewarded for the primary achievement already

To participate please add your name and alt(s) to this pirate pad: http://piratepad.net/FRCp9Q8mhn

Round 1: January 30 - February 13
Round 3: March 10 - March 24

Additionally, you can gain points simply by participating in ladder matches. Note that this does not take place over any specific time period, and does not have to be done with a fresh alt.

Bottom Line: 100 ladder games = 5 pts

The Unlucky One, sorry if this was unclear in the directions. There is no specific sign up required. Simply sign in on our irc channel #doubles, and challenge any of the people there for the IRC challenge. Completion of one match in this manner will automatically make you a participant :)

You must report here confirming your win or loss to have your match recognized, though

I guess I'll use this for a base post.

Wow, I was pleasantly surprised to see Belly Drum Poliwrath kicking butt even in Smogon Doubles xD Well-played, Level 51! I think if you have used Spore on Escavalier on Turn 8 instead of Rage Powder you would have been able to cleanly finish the game with your ShroomFrog combo.

Also Giga Drain on Ludicolo plz.
