Tournament PSPL VII Group Stage: Week 3

[nui]

Art by: LifeisDANK


Welcome to the group stages of Pokemon Showdown Premier League VII!​

The format is simple: there are eight groups of four teams, and within each group, round robin matches take place in which every team faces one another once. After three weeks, the teams will be ranked according to a point system - 2 points for a win, 1 for a draw, and 0 for a loss. The top two from each group advance to the playoffs. Thereafter, the Top 16 Playoffs will be conducted in knockout format until a winner is decided in the finals, with the succession being top 16 -> quarterfinals -> semifinals -> finals. Replays are encouraged but not mandatory. For following weeks, if managers don't submit any changes to us, the lineups will stay the same throughout the tournament. All basic tournament rules apply. Please take a moment to read these, ESPECIALLY if you are new to forum tournaments.

Hide

• Sportsmanship: Don't be an ass. Not to your opponents, not to your team, not on PS, not on Smogon, not to us hosts. This includes spectators in battles as well, using /modchat + as the player in a battle should stop such if it happens. The punishment for this could be a forum infraction or disqualification. Think before you type, please.
• Activity wins and scheduling: Contact your opponent as quickly as possible on their Smogothin wall, and look out for them on PS too. Unfortunately, We'll have to make some activity calls - We'll be making these based on activity posts (make these detailed, please, and explain why you deserve an activity win) and VM conversations, so be active and schedule as early as you can with your opponent. If neither party makes an activity post, we'll declare unplayed games as dead games. Use VMs and you will be fine. No extensions, sorry. If they lack a Smogon account, be vigilant as far as contacting them on PS goes.
• Disconnections and timer: A timer loss is a loss. No ifs, no buts. If you disconnect and your opponent's nice enough to replay that's fine, but they're free to take the win.
• Substitutions: Managers, you're free to sub in players for inactive ones for room auth or a non-auth if you have a slot available. Substitutions have to be made by a manager or a room owner.

Deadline: Sunday, May 19th 11:59PM EST.

Reminder: Random Battle follows a best-of-three format
If there is an issue or an error please contact nui , Kalalokki , Teclis.

Below is how your placement in the group will affect your seeding in the playoffs stage:

Bracket

 

[nui]

Activity Calls

Lopunny Kicks VS. Gota Love Yuri - yuri never made it to scheduled time

Kris Vs. Pearl - Kris was originally supposed to face hikari but was subbed out for pearl in Hikari's wall Kris tried scheduling with Pearl who commented on the wall but never responded.

explodingdaisies V. Teddeh - Ed made an effort to schedule games but Teddeh never responded to the wall or made an effort to schedule

DBW v. Hamhamhamham - Dbw made an effor to schedule games but Ham never responded to the wall or made an effort to schedule

DjDrake8 vs. Averardo - Didn't reply to the wall message

TimeTrapper vs. -Howkings - Didn't reply to the wall message

Dead Games

Nailec v. Evan. - Both users did not make an effort all week to schedule their games... Nailec attempted to schedule a game last minute yesterday but clearly it was impossible and unreasonable to try and call an act over this. Result is a dead game. Make an effort to schedule as soon as posts are up so this doesn't happen again.

lmk if there was a mistake on my part with these calls. pm me if there is context i am missing

 

[nui]

Triple posting cause fuck it. Lmk if i messed anything up (I think this time i got it right).

no fun fact about PSPL this week but i'll award a 5$ gift card (of their choice) to whoever gets first blood! Have fun guys, playoffs are a week away!
