Point Buy Tournament II Welcome, Smogoners, to the second Point Buy tournament! General Tournament Rules co-hosted by Earthworm This event will test not only your skill at battling, but also your predictions, and your ability to build teams under strict guidelines. You will have a budget of ‘Points’ that you will be able to use to ‘Purchase’ Pokémon for use in your team. Not happy with your low Point total? Bet on other matches to try and get some more of those Points you love so much! The Rules
Each entrant will be given a starting grant of 300 Points. Over the course of the tournament, you will be using those Points to buy Pokémon to use. The Points can also be used for betting on matches, both your own, and those of others. Keep in mind that this will be a long tournament, though, and so don’t blow all your points at the start! Those that successfully manage their Points will have a large advantage in this competition. Buying Pokémon As the tournament progresses, there will be opportunities for you to purchase Pokémon from the OU and BL tiers. Every Pokémon in the OU and BL tiers has been assigned a Point value, as seen below. The value listed is for buy a Pokémon for 3 matches. If you want to buy a Pokémon for 2 matches, it only costs 80% (4/5) of the price. 1-use Pokémon are a mere half of the price listed. Keep in mind that a 3-match Pokémon bought before round 2 will expire after round 4, whether or not you used it in all of your matches! Prices These are based upon the usage statistics on the Standard Ladder in June. They will remain fixed throughout the tournament. All UU Pokemon may be used without being purchased. Scizor: 250 Heatran: 225 Salamence: 220 Tyranitar: 180 Gyarados: 175 Gengar: 170 Jirachi: 170 Rotom-A: 170 Starmie: 165 Infernape: 160 Metagross: 155 Swampert: 145 Blissey: 125 Machamp: 120 Lucario: 120 Azelf: 115 Breloom: 115 Gliscor: 100 Flygon: 100 Skarmory: 95 Vaporeon: 95 Jolteon: 90 Suicune: 85 Dragonite: 85 Celebi: 80 Magnezone: 80 Zapdos: 75 Kingdra: 75 Togekiss: 70 Bronzong: 70 Forretress: 65 Aerodactyl: 65 Electivire: 60 Empoleon: 60 Weavile: 55 Dusknoir: 50 Ninjask: 50 Mamoswine: 50 Hippowdon: 50 Snorlax: 50 Umbreon: 40 Tentacruel: 40 Roserade: 40 Smeargle: 40 Porygonz 35 Heracross 30 Cresselia: 30 Abomasnow: 30 Crobat: 25 Gallade: 25 Froslass: 25 Yanmega: 25 Shaymin: 20 Honchkrow: 20 Raikou: 15 Staraptor: 10 Betting You will be required to make a bet on yourself against the House every round. You must make a bet of 50 points on yourself each round. This is to ensure you always have at least 100 points going into a round. You may also choose to bet on matches you are not a part of, if you like. First of all, all bets made on other matches must be exactly 50 Points, no less, no more. When you bet on a match, you will pick who you think will win the match. After the round, all bets for each individual match will be tallied. The entire pool of Points bet on a particular match will be evenly distributed amongst the people who wagered on the winner. Bets may be made publicly (in-thread), or privately (by PM). Even private bets, however, will be announced in-thread by Earthworm or myself, but we will not announce the name of the better, just the amount, and on who.

Also, you should do examples on the tournament descriptions so it is more clear. |

My appearance, ability, and awesomeness strike fear into the hearts of any sane battler and my thorny vines drop the opposing forces just an iron ball plowing into a man's genitals.

You might be aware of scramble challenges. Well I want one for Fire Emblem 7. I want 12 names not including the Lords to have as my squad. Feel free to give me restrictions on top that in a scramble challenge like way. PM/VM, either works fine, just make sure to specify you are giving me a person for the scramble. Erk, Sain, Harken, Lowen, Canas. 5/12 |
