<b>CAP 8 Playtesting Expert</b>
Some people may've heard various things about a tournament coming up between the three major modded servers: AA's, Captain's, and (best of all:) Doug's. The tournament will be organized by eric the espeon (regrettably being neutral in the tourney), and will take place over the Summer months; ending in early August. There has been talk of Pokemonexperte entering the tournament, but nothing else has been heard about it so far.
Basic rules of the tournament:
-Each server will have an eight-man team.
-The battles will take place on a random server out of those entering. This means that at any one time, you might need to be prepared for play on Doug's, Captain's, or AA's metagame.
-Each server will be able to choose whatever rules (so long as they apply to everyone equally) and modifications they like, and will provide a full list of modifications and rules that are in effect.
The CAP-Squad:
After various scoutings, Doug's CAP server has organized an eight-man squad to play in the tournament:
-Magmortified
-Alphabet_Soup
-Cooper
-Sunday
-Lil Ant (aka Cuteslims)
-Poopazing
-Hybrid
-Yoni (aka Gouki)
Current Subs:
-Hero.
-Jonathan.
Note that this list is subject to change at any time and the lineup of the CAP team may change over the course of the tournament. Applications may be made in this thread, or through PM.
Policy on Subbing:
"Subbing someone in" to replace a player who will not be able to get their match done will be allowed, but they should be announced by the team leader before the round goes up.
Captain's Team:
Currently speculated to be:
-Captain
-Bass
-Sonaxy
-Tennisace0227
-8558584
-Plus
-Spanky
-Bobtheball4
Waiting:
-Dixie Normas (aka SkarmBliss Counter)
-Minus
AA's Team:
Currently, there's nothing totally concrete on it. At least from what I can tell. Edits will be made as information becomes available.
Special Rules for playing on Doug's Server:
There hasn't currently been any talk on this - or even if Special Rules should be implemented at all. If something's been decided, it'll be edited in here.
The Tournament Schedule:
According to eric, the tournament plan will run out like this:
12th of July
Round 1 (32 people at the start)
Single Elimination, Randomized pairings and server to battle on.
Lose your match and you're out.
19th of July
Round 2 (16 people at the start)
Randomized pairings, you play your opponent once on all servers, whoever has more wins is through. If it is a draw go to sudden death*.
Lose more than you win and you're out.
26th of July
Round 3 Semi-Final (8 People at the start)
2 Groups of 4, everyone plays everyone in their group. The server that each match will take place on will be posted.
Top 1 from each group go through. If there is a draw for first then those who are drawing for 1st will face each other, the server that each match will take place on will be posted.
Unless you come first you are out here.
2nd of August
Round 4 The Final (2 people at the start)
The finalists will play each other in an epic battle, one match on each server that neither of them are from, but 3 on those that their team is from. If it is a draw go to sudden death*.
Lose here and you get 2nd place.
*In sudden death a RNG is used to pick a server that nether of the players are from, so that one player does not have a massive advantage in this key stage.
The dates - according to eric - are subject to change if an unforeseen problem occurs, but otherwise, practice with those dates in mind.
Discuss. =D
