Beat Zdrup 3-0, though it was closer then the score shows.

yeah, I guess I win the worst team title here. And I still could have won at the end if I wasn't stupid

Dexington and vikingraider, the deadline has passed 11 hours ago. You said you'd battle friday but apparently you didn't.
Both of you have been active which means I can't give an activity win. The normal procedure on the official tournaments on these situations is the coinflip. The winner wins 3-0.
vikingraider won. I'll update the OP later.
And finally PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS AGAIN.
We're on the decisive rounds and any win may be decisive so this leaves me on a very unconfortable position as I don't want SPL ruined by coinflipping (however I will do this again if this situation happens again).

Okay, you guys managed to find one of the few things that really piss me off: coin flipping.

I hate flipping coins to decide the outcome of matches. That means both sides either suck, or are just too lazy or are Smogonites (j/k). So, this is what I'm going to do:

Anyone who causes another coin flip will immediately cause the prize to become null and void should they win, ie if you somehow win after a coin flip, you get no prize. So don't cause a coin flip, got it?

Why not say they both lost 3-0? So they both suffer for not doing the battle?

When the players don't complete their battle there are only 2 ways do decide the outcome: activity win and coin flipping. I saw they were both active so that only leaves coin flipping. I'm trying to make this the professional way.

So there are now four people on 9 points? This is going to be pretty cool if auramaster beats zdrup15: GL to both of you.

This is the first Tournament I'm hosting and I want to follow the rules.
And I gave you a deadline even when you said you'd battle on friday. I've even battled vikingraider on friday and I saw you 10 minutes later here so you were both active.

That makes both Atheno and Zdrup 4-2, with Zdrup at a 7 average and Atheno at 5. Dexington can also join the club if he wins his next battle, and Vikingraider will be 4-2 with another win as well. Gonna be a great last round :)

True. I just wanna say Paradox and Vratix are my biggest friends right now! xD For some reason I think Atheno also feels this.
And I have to say this: on the end of Round 2 Atheno was by far the player I was less worried with. Now he's 4-0 and is probably the scariest player to face.

Correct me if I'm wrong Zdrup, but don't you battle Atheno in the next round? You should post the time of the battle in the thread, I don't want to miss it :)

Guys, first of all, I know I'm double posting but this is important so have that in mind.

I talk with doom frequently on poke lab and he has helped me on some tournaments with his UU knowledge and he's one of my biggest friends here.

Right now, after I saw his result against Atheno, I asked him what happened and he said WITHOUT ANY INTENTION that the problem was Atheno has a rotom. Now this wouldn't be a problem if Atheno wasn't my last opponent and one of the best candidates for the win.

This was the ONLY THING HE TOLD ME and, to make it fair I wanna say here I HAVE A ROTOM TOO. I think this should put us with the same knowledge about each other's team.

I would like to say i'm really sorry about this Atheno, and i would like to give my deepest apologies. I talk to zdrup all the time on Pokelab and he innocently asked me about what had happened in me vs you, and without thinking about it, i blurted out that you had a rotom. I didn't realize that you and zdrup still had to play, and for the title chance no less. I hope you can forgive me atheno. : (

Seriously? I thought no one would read them. I will write them now.

EDIT: Updated the OP with results and the comments.

I was trying a stupid thing with one of my Pokemon in those two, and majorly changed my team afterwards. I'm kicking myself now, because what I was trying to do was just stupid.
And damn, I like my Rotom. :)
