I like how you never dc on anyone even on disconnectors. Thats great practice for an actual live event where disconnections are not permitted. But since this isn't a live event I think people who want to be on top of the tourneys leaderboards must use disconnections to stay on top. Ofcourse there is a limit to how many times you could disconnect because you don't want to get excluded from leaderboards. As soon as the tournaments results come in tell me what place you got. I am confident I will be in the top 50 because of my rating.
Ok so I came 90th then and you got DQ'd so I guess you DC'ing on that DC'er could've been the decider.
I had 192 wins and 27 loses according to nintendos rankings. My rating was 1979. I would have been in 15th place. I don't understand why they kept me out of their rankings. I kept track of my dcs. I only had 20 total with 10 not being mine. They were due to the servers.
So that means you DC'd on 10 people? That also means it's probably another 10 losses which would drop your score by around 20-30 points per loss which would be around 200-300 points, maybe less. Don't DC even 1 time. It is not befitting of a Trainer (As TPCi would say). But in hindsight I am sorry that you didn't qualify.

Now onto my team......I used Mewtwo, Groudon, Reshiram, Kyogre, Thundurus-T, Giratina-O. I really liked my team because people could not see which team I was going to use as there are plenty of ways I could play.
My Mewtwo was more of a filler and I rarely used it, it had the Brightpowder which only came into play once when a Ice Beam missed it! LULZ! It's moves were Psystrike, Thunder, Shadow Ball and......SNATCH! HAHA gotta love random moves :D
My Groudon......ok I gave it the wrong item in the Choice Band :/ cost me a match or two but also did that extra amount of damage to win me a few too. It had Earthquake, Fire Punch, Stone Edge and Dragon Claw. No random moves there.
My Reshiram was my star player and I took it cause it is one of my favourite legendaries. I gave it the Haban berry and that proved to be the right choice because it survived a Draco Meteor from Kyurem-W/B with a Life Orb....to which I responded with either Dragon Pulse or Blue Flare in the Sun to OHKO. It's moves were Blue Flare, Dragon Pulse, Shadow Ball and Light Screen (Which saved me on a few instances).
My Kyogre was a different one to what you'd normally think as I gave it the Lum Berry to protect against Para-Hax from Thunder's and ThunderWaves as well as strategies to put it to sleep or poison it. It's moves consisted of Hydro Pump, Ice Beam, Thunder and Thunder Wave (Which I used succesfully against a SDArceus).
My Thundurus was a simple Pair-With-Kyogre-Spam-Thunder-Set with the Choice Scarf which was proven to be a nice addition as I also surprised a few by using Focus Blast to OHKO stuff like T-Tar and the like. It's full move set was Thunder, Focus Blast, HP Ice and Grass Knot.
Finally my favourite legendary of all time Giratina-O which I usually slotted in third or in the back, carrying it's signature item, the Griseous Orb. It's move-set was Dragon Claw, Shadow Claw, Substitute and Tailwind. It was a bulky supporter and was very effective, especially against the Takes-No-Skill-To-Use-Aron-Sandstorm sets, if they switch into T-Tar then I would set the sub up or predict and KO it or if they kept it in thinking I would switch as well then I could set up the sub or switch in Reshiram to OHKO.
My thoughts of the tournament overall were that some people at the top did not deserve to be there as 1st, 2nd and 7th all DC'd on me as I was going to win. Also 77th place DC'd on me (just had a quick look at the few above me to see) so with those four wins on their own I'd say I'd get another 60-80 points which would put me in the top 50. But at the end of the day I'm not surprised I ranked in this tournament and I am overall happy in the place I came because I was not taking it seriously at all. My final comment on this is that people who didn't DC at all have my sympathies, people who DC'd on purpose even once.....you have none from me.
Congrats to Cyanide and Drcossack on your top 10 finishes.
Also...I lied, my final comment is that I am dissapointed that my unique moves and item are not on the list, especially my Snatch Mewtwo w) Bright Powder ^_^
