The LC Open VII - Round 4

Status
Not open for further replies.

Tournament Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • Grand Slam rules can be found here.
  • Standard SM LC.
  • Best-of-three, single elimination.
  • Battles should take place on the Smogtours server.
  • SM cartridge win conditions are in place; there are no ties.
  • Tiers are locked at the beginning of each round.
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, only being turned off in the case of a player disconnecting, and in that case will only be turned off for 5 minutes (keep in mind that this is an interim solution while we wait on PS! developers). The timer may not be turned off in any other circumstance.

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 in such cases are not allowed.

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.
  • When scheduling, offer as wide a swathe of time when you are available to play. 1 hour of activity on one or two weeknights is unlikely to be considered acceptable.
  • Schedule specifically - do not schedule for "Friday afternoon" or "Sunday morning", pick a date, a time and note the timezone.
  • If I catch news of ghosting or some other sort of nefarious play, 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.

My opp admitted that he doesn’t work and has no obligations that keep him from scheduling during my times, and refuses to schedule even though I left my entire Sunday open, and gave him times every day.

First of all, on Sunday I won't be at home because I am travelling away from my town. I don't think I have to provide other reasoning to this or post a selfie of me travelling because you don't believe in me. Secondly, how am i not being flexible with a circa 12-HOUR DAILY AVAILABILITY. You have indeed great courage to post for activity when i literally give you my availability for 6 days with a wider and more reasonable timeframe than yours. Then, you must not be the most clever person on this site, but it is common among Europeans to sleep at night and the times you gave me are in my nighttime.



I have a wide schedule, sure, i don't work, sure, but my life isn't this game. I have a sleep schedule, I wake up at a certain time and i study, i don't see why i should change to play an annoying guy with such a restricted schedule. How can you say I am not flexible enough because i refuse to play between 2 am and 5 am? That's just a way of manipulating reality to try to get your win without playing. You feel entitled to an activity win because you have a job? You must be joking. Then if this is your only way to beat european players that can't play on Sunday, well played sir.

tl;dr 6 days * 12 hours > 3 hours availability + "more flexible on sundays"

do you not have a phone you can play on Sunday mr traveller or do I have to think of everything for you...
 
i told my opponent about my unavailability this weekend from monday and they suggested 1 time themselves, thursday 9 am gmt +3. it is now 11:24 and ive been online since 8 just in case, im leaving right now and my opponent hasnt been online since tuesday (i also checked his ps name /smogtours frequently to see if he's online there). i cannot at all know when ill next be available as i have told them, i will attempt to be online and work with any suggested times if they suggest some reasonnable times but im completely unavailble starting friday night with spotty availability friday afternoon, unless i get some random sunday availability but ill be abroad so i cannot possibly schedule properly for then.
activity for now
