Tournament PSPL VII Group Stage: Week 2

[nui]

Art by: LifeisDANK


Welcome to the group stages of Pokemon Showdown Premier League VII!​

The format is simple: there are eight groups of four teams, and within each group, round robin matches take place in which every team faces one another once. After three weeks, the teams will be ranked according to a point system - 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. The top two from each group advance to the playoffs. Thereafter, the Top 16 Playoffs will be conducted in knockout format until a winner is decided in the finals, with the succession being top 16 -> quarterfinals -> semifinals -> finals. Replays are encouraged but not mandatory. For following weeks, if managers don't submit any changes to us, the lineups will stay the same throughout the tournament. All basic tournament rules apply. Please take a moment to read these, ESPECIALLY if you are new to forum tournaments.

Hide

• Sportsmanship: Don't be an ass. Not to your opponents, not to your team, not on PS, not on Smogon, not to us hosts. This includes spectators in battles as well, using /modchat + as the player in a battle should stop such if it happens. The punishment for this could be a forum infraction or disqualification. Think before you type, please.
• Activity wins and scheduling: Contact your opponent as quickly as possible on their Smogothin wall, and look out for them on PS too. Unfortunately, We'll have to make some activity calls - We'll be making these based on activity posts (make these detailed, please, and explain why you deserve an activity win) and VM conversations, so be active and schedule as early as you can with your opponent. If neither party makes an activity post, we'll declare unplayed games as dead games. Use VMs and you will be fine. No extensions, sorry. If they lack a Smogon account, be vigilant as far as contacting them on PS goes.
• Disconnections and timer: A timer loss is a loss. No ifs, no buts. If you disconnect and your opponent's nice enough to replay that's fine, but they're free to take the win.
• Substitutions: Managers, you're free to sub in players for inactive ones for room auth or a non-auth if you have a slot available. Substitutions have to be made by a manager or a room owner.

Deadline: Sunday, May 12th 11:59PM EST.

Reminder: Random Battle follows a best-of-three format
If there is an issue or an error please contact nui , Kalalokki , Teclis.

Lmk if theres a mistake in lineup. Also congratulations to China for winning 8-0 against trivia last week! the first time it's ever happened in PSPL as far I know so good job bobochan

 

[Kalalokki]

Crossposting from last week's thread:

Activity wins

SANJAY vs Hootie : though none of them sent a VM to the other, SANJAY contacted Hootie on Discord and got no reply, as stated in his activity post yesterday. He certainly put in more effort to contact and schedule than his opponent, which is why he gets the Activity Win. Please use VMs as your main way of contacting your opponent. It's easier for us to find and perhaps harder to forget than a quick Discord DM.

Dead games

talah vs Gota Love Yuri : the match was properly scheduled but apparently did not happen.
Hoopa's Underling vs Mana : no contact trace from either.

 

[abd1710]

Time for comeback for Hindi Room. We will do it. Good luck GC+BD

 

[FriendOfMrGolem120]

I didn't receive a tag notification - just saying in case some others might also not.

 

[Grillo]

Português vs Zero used

Matchups are wrong, at least in the Portuguese's side: Our monotype player is Tico21, I'm playing Ubers and Cocoon Evolution randbats

nui

 

[Kalalokki]

I didn't receive a tag notification - just saying in case some others might also not.

Yeah, was a bit strapped for time so it was only done where lineups changed. I'll tag managers however and hopefully they can help notify the rest of their teams if they weren't notified. Sorry about that, will be done for future weeks.
