Broo its the first time i get into this, and idk what that means or what to do know, can you explain me?

No issues, I'll explain. There are 2 kinds of tournaments. Live & Scheduled...

Live tournaments happen on pokemon Showdown and who ever is online can participate, winner is decided then & there

What we have registered for is a scheduled tournament that spans multiple weeks (if you win) and minimum 2 weeks.

Each round has a one week deadline (usually Sunday 11pm US west coast Time) and you are provided an opponent

In this case I was your opponent in round 1 (We were "scheduled" )

You and your opponent agree upon a time when you are both free to battle and then you battle. Whoever wins needs to post in the original tournament thread that they won alongwith match replays

I mentioned I'm +5.5 that's my time zone, you should tell your own time zone and availability during the week... I'll pick a specific time from your availabilities and then we'll battle at that agreed upon time

I explained in brief, there are some more nuances but you'll get them with time.

So what's your time zone? And when can you play?

Thank you so much bro, this is my time zone:

Atlantic Standard Time (AST), UTC -4
I guess this means im a -4

Im available between 9 P.M- 2 A.M or to 7 A.M to 10 A.M

You can play 10pm your time?

Yeah, sure, today?

1.5 hours from now...? If that doesn't work tomorrow 10pm your time

Its easier for my tomorrow, so can we do it tomorrow? If thats not a problem for you

Yes no problem

Thanks bro

Bro im ready, lmk When you are ready too

Lol you messaged 2 hours before the scheduled time
