Explanation:
To Enter, Competitors pay 2TC.
Competitors will enter the first round with one of their Pokémon. They will then use their Pokémon’s moves and abilities in order to make a spectacular appeal! A Panel of three judges (myself, and two others) will judge the appeals, and choose the best appeals! These trainers will then advance to the second round, where they will battle it out in our contest hall!
Each appeal will be 6 actions long, in this time you should try to be as appealing as possible.
The number of participants advancing to the second round is given by 2^ (Round down (log2(X/4))), where X is the number of participants. For those who don’t understand, the number of participants is quartered, then rounded down to the next power of 2.
The Audience will also choose 50% of the second round competitors with a vote. The other 50% is then chosen by the panel myself. (The most appealing will be chosen). Then, the top appeals will advance to the next round.
In the battle round, As well as battling to defeat the opponent, the competitors must try to make the battle a spectacle for our audience to enjoy. one of the appeals judges will judge how appealing the battle is, but the audience (Any spectators who are not participating in battles) will be able to voice their opinions in the audience thread which will be set up. (This may, or may not influence the judge). The battles will be reffed normally, with the appeals judge controling the appeals gauge, and posting the changes in appeal gauge after each round is reffed.
The appeal of the Pokémon is counted by the appeal gauge, which is out of 100. After 4 rounds, he battle will conclude, and the Pokémon with the highest combined appeal gauge and HP is the winner.
Examples: (Subject to changes)
- Successful combo: +5
- Blocking damage (not via protect): +X (X is amount of damaged blocked)
- Inventive move use: +5
- Rank Penalty (+2*the Base rank total of your opponents Pokemon)
- Refs will then give points as to the general appeal of the round. (max 10 appeal points per round)
