2012 Tournament Tour won by dragonuser
Looking for a place to test your teambuilding expertise? If yes, this is the tour for you. Over the coming weeks your skills in both teambuilding, adaption and hitting deadlines will all be tested and pushed as you take on 2013’s finest tournaments one after another to prove once and for all who is top dog.
Everything bought on by the sequels makes certain pokémon more viable and certain others not particularly viable. Either way BW2 sucked, Platinum, HeartGold an SoulSilver sucked, Emerald sucked and futhermore LeafGreen and FireRed sucked. This round brings you around to the base games pioneering the generation.
Rules
- All Standard tournament rules apply. They can be read here.
- All deadlines are final. Extensions will only be granted under certain circumstances
- Read all tournament specific rules carefully, if an issue arises or you are unclear on any of them, PLEASE ask during either signups, or early into the round. I’ll answer to the best of my interpretation (unless the original host wants to answer it for me)
- Each tour has been specifically chosen to test teambuilding and adaptability to different rules. While deadlines are going to be a little longer to accommodate teambuilding during each round, at least try to have an idea of how you’re going to build during the rounds prior to it happening in the tour. This gives you maximum time during the round to contact and battle your opponent.
- All Activity / Coinflip decisions are final - I recommend using the VM system and allow me to see your profile. If you’re using PMs, add me to the conversation. In the event you use IRC, I will need to see logs of the conversation. I will not give out activity wins for activity posts in which I cannot see any actual evidence of attempting to get the battle done.
- The tier for this tour is Black and White 2 OU. Most Rounds require BW2 mechanics to work correctly.
