[20:54] <Birkal> does bide really cost 6en on A1 and A2 to use o__o?
[20:54] <Birkal> I have never seen that before
[21:07] <+Rainman_Legends> it shouldnt
[21:30] <Birkal> didn't think so
[21:30] <Birkal> dogfish44, confirm?
[22:15] <&@dogfish44> Birkal: No, it costs 6 EN + w/e the rest is on release
[22:15] <Birkal> http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/battle-hall-challenge-birkal.3481743/page-14#post-6451856
[22:16] <&@dogfish44> !asbmove bide
[22:16] <Birkal> I could see how he'd interpret that
[22:17] <Birkal> 6 + (0)
[22:17] <&@dogfish44> the issue is "when is the 6 EN used", right?
[22:21] <+Rainman_Legends> i thought it was all tacked on the end
[22:21] <&@dogfish44> ^
[22:21] <&@dogfish44> Bide is one of those interesting moves
[22:21] <+Rainman_Legends> we only have the split EN thing on D/E moves right?
[22:21] <&@dogfish44> in that you can use it for 0 EN

Anything happening here, Gale Wing Srock?

Anything happening here, Gale Wing Srock?

Birkal, my reffing stays as per Ref Discretion. It is upto you, on what you want to do. A reorder is the maximum I can do for you at this point. Unless there is a ruling on this, my stance is the same.

 

[Birkal]

This isn't a point of "referee discretion." Absolutely every match that has ever featured Bide in this forum expends the energy when Bide is released, not before. Should it change? Maybe. But messing up a hall run just to prove a point isn't exactly ideal... Its_A_Random thought it was ridiculous when I brought it up in the first place. I'd like either a) you to reorder, b) you to re-referee, or c) I'll ask for a sub-ref. I don't mean any disrespect, but I don't see your position.

 

[Gale Wing Srock]

Requested for a Subref for this Hall Run, and also requesting the new Ref to Re-Ref Round 2, as they see fit.

That is a ruling that I disagree with, one that is counter-intuitive to what is in the NDA (at least for me), and at least should be codified. Re-reffed nonetheless.
