Welcome to the NU Open.

Tournament Rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • Grand Slam rules can be found here.
  • Don't make posts that just say contacted or activity. If you're making an activity post, explain why you deserve it.
  • Standard XY NU.
  • Best of three, single elimination.
  • The banlist for this tournament is the same as the NU ladder of the Smogon University server of Pokemon Showdown.
  • Post replays, they're fun to watch :D
  • If tier changes occur during the middle of a round, they will take effect in the subsequent round.
  • Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown! unless both players agree otherwise.*

Identity

I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.

Scouting

Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting, whether it be spying on another teams irc channel or following your opponent around on PO. There is a difference between "ipl is known for using stall" and "let me follow ipl around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter.

With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.

Timer Clause

As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.

Disconnections

If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.

I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

Davon vs Vileman - Davon's average plays should get him through this round.
d0nut vs Tricking - I mean, gotta pick the guy who knocked me out.
gr8astard vs KratosMana - Armed with some powerful teams, this man should win even if he's fuckin and makin chicken at the same damn time.
Tesung vs (breh vs Shaneghoul) - Strong user is strong.
Iplaytennislol vs Nas - Tennis has some of the best ghosters around, if he doesn't bring a shit team and actually makes a play or two he should be able to win
Bloo vs Kushalos - The omfuga slayer will prevail, also kush is complete ass so thats a plus.
Level 56 vs malefic - don't know either player well
blunder vs AquajetBreloom - Battle of the ghosts imo. Both good users, blunder better at mons overall and he'll be packing some good teams. tough fight for ajb but if he has team matchup he could get it done.

EDIT: AJB IS SO EFFING BAD OML

e: (below) WOW..... 3 things, cc+bp doesnt take 88% off leafeon barring crits..... also you seem to be forgetting sbomb poison on gurdurr and that ice beam crit endgame which could potentially have lost me the game!!! not to mention that hax g2 just wasn't game changing at all.....

Lost 2-1

G1: won coz of a crit

G2: lost due to a crit. Edit: if it was not for that crit ur sawk was going to paralysed at that turn, then I was gonna put sr next turn and then u were going to lose automatically lol

G3: lost due to "low rolls" on his leafeon which were 59-70 and I got 61%.

Confirming bad series.
