Yeah, could've done better without that. :/ GG.
D:
Why did it DC?!?!? Shiro* from New York and i were having a great match before it decided to d/c... :(
If you go here Shiro*, that seriously looked to be down the wire (had to get past a certain Fighting-type in order to win, but was possible, me thinks...).

my face when the winning opponent DC's.
I guess its not all on purpose.

But, it appears as if they can't determine who DC'd from a battle. So, that would basically disqualify everyone. I've racked up well over 50 DC'd battles, and I hope that wouldn't count against me. Gamefreak should've set up their servers better.
So pretty much the highest ranked players on the GBU are ragequitters? o.0 You can practically be undefeated by D/Cing, of course I'm sure it is just as bad over there on the GBU as it is in this Tournament.
I DC'ed 4 times against, Ash from Kuwait, Carlos from Mexico, and 2 others mentioned here numerous times for ragequitting. I'll laugh if I get 'banned' or not have my results show up. Why waste 10 minutes over nothing?

So, how could they fix the problem?
If they can tell who disocnnected, they could count it as a loss for that person; though that is also punishing people who lose their connection through no fault of their own (already in this thread we've had two different people saying their girlfriends shut the connection down and one person saying his dad did).
Someone else mentioned the possibility of a system equivalent to 1 point for a loss, 2 for a draw, 3 for a win, so that there's an incentive to finish even matches you're going to lose. That, though, could suffer from people just forfeiting - if it takes 6 minutes to play out and win a match, and 1 minute to enter a match and forfeit straight away, the forfeiter will get twice as many points as the winner in the same time.

@Showsni My girlfriend didn't shut down the connection, It's the fault of her router of her ISP idk, and i already have said all i have to said about this. In a couple of hours i'll be back to my house and then if I D/C you can blame on me because i've never had any issues with my connection. So let it pass
^right, my wife
I just barely made it to 1900 I think, am so tempted to quit while this good. At least I finally figured how to record my matches so I can upload them to youtube thanks to a link GameCodeTrainer provided me on irc.

Ah, ok. Sorry bro, this whole thing is getting to my head.
Welp, I'm back again, didn't start working straight away like I thought I would, although I AM employed (yay.) Anyway, time for some more matches! Maybe I can push my way through the DC's and hit 1700 at some point today.
Too bad about that fastest disconnection time competition thread being shut down. I would've enjoyed turning mild frustration into something, you know, more fun.

Well, I'm done.
After 50 matches, several low-rating opponents, around 10 DCers, and about as many losses (some to hax, some not), I'm left sitting at a pathetic 1743 after one final hax loss drops my score almost 30 points.
That settles it; I'm sticking with Single matches.
My personal highlight of the tournament: 73-98756-98025
Fear the Golurk! FEAR IT I SAY!!!

You are off by a day. It'll end 24 hours later than you think it does or about 29.5 hours from now.
Just reminding everyone that Shiro* isnt me.
I just battled someone called Rodrigo from Brazil and I have never seen so much "hax" go someone's way (in his favour) it was just ridiculous... so much so, he even disconnected as the results were going, which was quite nice I suppose.
Negative... the tournament ends at 10-24-2011 23:59 (UTC)
You're saying he won and D/C'd after? lol XD
