We welcome you to the "Tipping the Scales!" tourney, hosted by Olie and Articanus!

Official Tournament Rules thread:
http://www.smogon.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38685

Caution: READ THE RULES CAREFULLY


The way this tourney operates is;
you are assigned 10 points when you sign up, and these are used to Purchase different Pokemon.

The Costs are arranged as such:

OU's: -3 Points
BL's: -2 Points
UU's: -1 Point
NFE's : +1

You are allowed to use NFEs in this tournament, since you get an additional point added to your (pot), if you use one. But you do not get more points for choosing a lower stage. ie: choosing charmander or Charmeleon will only earn you one point. The points gained for NFEs can't be used till the next round!


Note: Pikachu, Cubone, Clamperl, Trapinch, Vigoroth, Hippopotas and Snover will cost one point regardless of held item.
Phione, Scyther and Porygon2 are not considered NFE.

You cannot purchase NFEs after round 1.


If you win a Match. you earn points based on the score you attain. ie:
if you win 5-0, you get 5 more points added to your pot.

There are also other ways to gain points, but those are for you to find out! Hint: be unique with team building x)
This tournament is called 'Tipping the Scales', since the goal is to have a balanced team, which could earn you more points.


Other Rules:
  • Sleep Clause
  • Freeze Clause
  • Evasion Clause
  • OHKO Clause
  • Species Clause
  • Self-KO Clause
  • No Scouting. I realize this is less relevant since teams will likely be changed each round, but If a player asks you to leave their match, you must do so.
  • Battle Timeout must be on and will be enforced.
  • Battles must be played on Shoddybattle.
  • This Tournament is DOUBLE ELIMINATION.
  • You will move onto the next round regardless of whether you win or lose.
  • If you win, you earn points equal to the number of Pokemon you have remaining.
  • If you lose, you earn zero points.
  • All teams must be sent to Olie for Approval.
  • All Match logs must be sent to Articanus.
Any questions should be forwarded to Articanus or Olie.

The deadline for Round 1 of Tipping The Scales is Tuesday, December 9th, 12:00 AM, MST (-7 GMT).

Good Luck to All Participants!!!

I gotta get the thread fixed a bit, but you are allowed to putchase ONLY 6 Pokemon. The purchases last the entire tournament.
Is there a deadline for this round?

I'd like to remind all participants that you are to PM your team to Olie.
After I approve both you and your opponent, you will both recieve a PM that you can now play your match.

You are to send your Match log to Articanus, or your match WILL NOT COUNT.

Regarding to points, you are free to spend up to ten points this round, and you are required to buy 6 pokemon.
These Pokemon are kept with you for the entire Tournament, but I may be implementing some *restrictions* throught the tournament, so be extra certain that your team is balanced ^__^
 
I hope you keep your Inbox's nice and clean! Noticed everybody thinks I'll lose:
