Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
i actually like the bo3 idea, as it makes prediction more important. though i have to admit it did not matter much when i battled tito, as i simply swapped one of my pokes for another that literally wiped out his entire team.
I'll assume he forfeits the next one unless he posts otherwise.
Thanks everyone for getting your battles done quickly! There are still a lot to do in the next 6 days though. If I don't get anymore subs by tomorrow I'll just give free wins to the people whose opponents dropped out.
Best of 3 reduces the impact of hax in the long run, and the whole "scouting" issue is moot since you know at least 5/6 of your opponent's team right off the bat. I first suggested it to Matty, and it seems like a better way to play any tournament in which knowing the opponent's pokemon beforehand isn't a problem.
Please post if you think you've been more active than your opponent (and deserve to go through to the next round) detailing why. There are only 2 more days to play.
I pm'd skarm a few days ago, but he still hasn't responded, I have a pretty free schedule though so hopefully we can find a time to battle in the next 2 days
I've been trying to catch up with sapienta, but the only time I saw him on was at 3am for him :( ( Though I am not saying he has been inactive, as has responded when we've been contacting, just haven't caught up with eachother at a good time yet). I'll be on today and tomorrow 4pm-7.20pm (GMT+10) to try and get this done if you read this sapienta.
