The Nonagon Tournament!
Welcome to the Nonagon Tournament! This is a tournament in which you have to get a group of 9 pokemon together and use your team-building skills to make 3 different teams with which to play. This will be just a normal OU tournament, but you will have to think about which pokemon you will use in each match and whom your opponent will use. This could be a very simple tournament to some, but very complex to others.


Basic Rules
  • Evasion Clause
  • Freeze Clause
  • OHKO Clause
  • Self-KO Clause
  • Sleep Clause
  • Soul Dew Clause
  • Species Clause
  • Timed Battle (optional)

Of course, there are the special rules that apply. When preparing for your match, you must pick 9 Pokemon that you want to use on your teams. After you have decided whom to use, you must only use those 9 in a best of 3 with your opponent. The catch is that you cannot use the same team more than once, and you have to use each Pokemon exactly twice! This should ensure that you have many new things to think about when choosing your team of 9.

Note: you do not have to use the same Pokemon as you did in round 1. you also do not have to use the same sets on your Pokemon. Don't send us your teams either. We don't need them.

Also: different form(e)s all count as one Pokemon. only one of your nine Pokemon may be a Rotom-a.

Waiting for Bluewind to reply to PM. Will get this done asap.

Also, can we please have shorter deadlines? One week is enough time for anyone to get their matches completed. Not to mention the extensions making things longer....

Most of the Smogon tournaments should enforce coin toss or activity policies to have people actually complete their matches. Not increase the deadline time and hope they finish. Hipmonlee even made a "how to schedule a battle" thread explaining to newbs on how to get their match completed in time.

Anyways, that's something that I'd just want Smogon tournaments to do because a tournament here seems to surpass two months to complete and that's annoying. If you disagree with me, then just ignore me... I'm high.

i'm not going to shorten the deadline for this round, but the next round will likely have a shorter deadline. if you want to talk about shortening the limits for smogon tournaments on a wider scale, talk to a tournaments moderator.

i've coinflipped tons of battles already in this tournament, but part of me always gets sad when i do that :(

Well Arin, maybe you don't have to make 3 new and good teams for this tournament, but I do. So, I'd really like to have a little time to make those after studying for finals. But in general, I would enjoy a shorter deadline after this round providing I make it past Ace Matador.
 
didnt make it but i still feel like making predictions :@

Perhaps for you. I know that as a person who works 40 hours a week and has a lot more obligations than just that, it's very difficult to make 3 matches in a week. That's not even considering the fact that my opponent and I, in this case, are 15 hours apart. I greatly appreciate having two weeks to finish the round, and I don't think I'd be able to complete my matches without that time frame.
 
I'm with Arin on this; these deadlines are ridiculous. I frankly don't care if you work a 40 hour week, I manage to get shit like st matches done during exams and if i can do that then you can make 3 ok teams and set a team to battle your opponent. SPL has been running relatively smoothly with one week deadlines, and large teams who won't always have ideal time zones generally manage to get their shit done. this seems like a case of "can't be bothered because i have ages to do it anyway" as opposed to you genuinely can not complete your matches in this time because you are crazy busy.
