The LC Open XI - Round 2-D

Status
Not open for further replies.

The eleventh iteration of the largest LC tournament, and the tour with the most signups in Smogon's history, the LC Open, has begun! A truly ludicrous number of players stands between each of you and victory. I wish you all the best of luck!

Tournament Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • Grand Slam rules can be found here. POINT VALUES HAVE CHANGED, SEE ADMIN THREAD
  • Standard SS LC.
  • Best-of-three, single elimination.
  • Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!, on the Smogtours server.
  • SS cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties.
  • Tiers are locked at the beginning of each round.
this stuff is just the abbreviated version, for the full list of rules for Smogon Tournaments check here

Identity

About playing on alts: It is entirely allowed to play on an alt other than your own main forum name, though if your opponent wishes to confirm your identity, you must log on to your main alt to show them you are who you claim to be. This is to prevent people from pretending to be who they're not.

About playing on different servers: Tournament matches must be played on the Smogtours server. The Main PS! server is also acceptable if both parties agree to that. Other servers are not sanctioned by the TD team and playing in them might result in your game not counting. Protect yourself from that by playing in Smogtours, where we also have the power to recreate games that end due to DC's.

Scouting

On scouting opponents: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. An exception to this is abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to, which is strictly forbidden.

On leaking teams: Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.

Timer Clause / Disconnections

On the Timer: The timer must stay on throughout the whole battle.

On Timeout losses: A player that loses by having all his time run out loses the game. This is only not the case if the player that received the timeout loss can be verified to have suffered a True Disconnection. Rematches are only allowed if there was a True Disconnection.

On True Disconnection: The TD team has a secret threshold of seconds that your timer must be at or above, from the moment you disconnect, for a timeout loss to be considered a True disconnection. If your game is determined to be a true disconnection if you played on Smogtours and contacted a TD before the room expired your game will be recreated up to the point the disconnect happened. It is the responsibility of the player that disconnected to get a TD into the room before it expires.


Battle Clauses:
  • Evasion Clause
  • OHKO Clause
  • Sleep Clause
  • Species Clause
  • Timed Battle
  • Team Preview
General recommendations:
  • Contact your opponent as soon as possible upon the round going up. Activity cases are going to be handled in a very strict manner.
  • If I catch news of ghosting or some other sort of atrocious behavior, I reserve the right to investigate to the full limits of my ability in conjunction with the TD team provided there is adequate evidence to warrant it.
  • Please read the Scheduling Guide if you're unsure how to properly schedule for the tournament!
That aside, feel free to get back to me (or a tournament director if, for some reason, you don't really trust my judgement) if you still have any questions regarding this tournament (or Grand Slam in general) after reading this post.

Last but not least, aside from points towards qualifying for Grand Slam playoffs, this tournament is part of the LC Tournament Circuit, so points for that will also be awarded accordingly depending on how well you do.

won in 2 ggs
We only played 1 game. I agreed to play g1 on main. I didn't agree to play g2 on main except if we were to keep timer off (I had to leave to get the door). I then leave to get the door (on turn 3) and he turns the timer on. I asked for a re-do, and I logged onto stours and opponent refused to play. I probably could have documented everything better but this has never happened to me before in my 14 years on this site. Clear case of player trying to snake out a win without playing. Requesting a re-do of g2 at the very least and perhaps disciplinary action for unsportsmanlike behavior.

one, you cant play one game on main and other on Smogtours. Two, You never said i couldnt turn on timer so after 2 minutes of waiting, I turned it on. Also you sent a challenge for game 2 therefore saying that we can finish the set on main server
 
I’m sorry this happened to you Heysup, but generally speaking each player has the right to turn on timer. It sucks yeah but there’s really nothing that can be done from this, I’m sorry again for what’s happened. That’s a not cool play by Jay is decent but nothing much can be done here, I hope you understand.

Finchinator and Merritt can vouch for my response

The timer can (and should) be used in any competitive tournament game, which has been the case and the rule for many years now.

Informal agreements between two parties do not supersede this or any other rules. You can both agree to play without X legal Pokemon, but that is not binding if the opponent does bring it and that's why these type of things are frowned upon.

You should not put yourself in a position where you may have to timeout upon a game beginning; this is insensitive of your opponent's time and risks losing via timeout, which is what happened here. That much is on you as a player.

Jay may have done this to "snake a win" as heysup indicated, he may have done it because he was in a rush, or he may have done it for any other reason -- this is completely irrelevant and absolutely not subject to any unsprtsportsmanlike conduct. None of this matters. It is simple: the rule is for the timer to be enforced, a player timed out, and that player is rewarded the loss.
 
Uhm my last opponent was Thestalot he didn't even responded, so how did I get to the second round? Did he forfeit?
