Welcome to the sixth week of BLT III! This first stage of the tournament will feature seven weeks of each team playing one another once. A win in a week will result in a team receiving two points, a loss will result in zero points, and a draw in one. At the end of this stage, the top four teams with the most points will advance to the semi-finals. Matches will be played in standard ORAS tiers on the main PS! server.

Basic tournament rules (you absolutely should read these, especially if you're new to forum tournaments):

Sportsmanship: Don't be an ass. Not to your opponents, not to your team, not on PS, not on Smogon, not to me. The punishment could be as severe as a server ban (which is an instant loss for you), forum infraction, or disqualification. A bit of friendly banter is ok, but please know where to draw the line. Think before you type, please.

Scheduling and Activity Wins: Contact your opponent as quickly as possible on their Smogon wall, and look out for them on PS. You will have one week from the posting of the week's matches to get it done, and I will not be granting any extensions for any reasons. If your opponent is not responding to your post on their wall, cannot be found on PS, or miss multiple scheduled times, make a detailed activity post in the thread letting me know why you deserve the win. As long as you have visible attempts at scheduling (such as wall posts), you will be fine.

Disconnections and Timer: A timer loss is a loss. No if's, and's, or but's about it. If your opponent is nice enough to replay that's fine, but they are by no means obligated to.

Ghosting and Identity: Don't take or give battle advice or make moves based solely on the suggestions of others, and don't pretend to be someone else in order to play as them. You will be caught, and you will be disqualified from this season as well as future PS! tournaments (BLT, PSPL, etc.).

Substitutions: Managers are free to substitute out inactive players at any point during the week with any subs they chose during the draft. Be sure to post in the thread when making a substitution.

Wait what why is it being called a tie at the request of managers? I had a 100% clear cut case for activity where the other team completely failed to even post in the thread that they were making a sub let alone tell me or reply more than 5 minutes before deadline to my scheduling attempt so the only possible reason is that my manager requested not to win the week. Reisen what have you done

Anyway I've vmd jeran but this seems awfully fishy

So we lose a week on activity to average scheduling, and our player actually attempted to get his match done, and yet when a player doesn't even get notified he is playing a sub, and the sub makes zero effort to contact the player, that doesn't merit activity? Lol ok then

It does merit activity, but the managers wanted a tie based on the circumstances.

Banned deucer.
PD insulted me through my profile how dare you contacted me we're scheduling

And I swear the only depressing part of being an Elekid is losing 4-5 to bullshit every week sigh

I was asked to take a look at this by someone, who I won't name.

I don't think that managers should ever have the power to null one of their own games. Even when asked it's not a reasonable request and defeats the purpose of giving out activity wins to players who has stayed active and tried to schedule.

For both of the last weeks tied games:

Do elaborate, there's basically no circumstance where activity wins should not happen and you've actively gone against the tournament rules when granting them this.

From what I've been able to tell Megazard and Raphael2711 contacted both of their opponents but had no reply/got a reply after deadline, which should grant them both an activity win since I can't find any substitutes made for either player.

No I don't think I deserve an activity win cuz we were both equally at fault.
