Underused Showdown Tournament: January - Tour #6 Won by trevor ellis

Not open for further replies.
There was only a handful of people who battled. It was at about 5 pm iirc

Could we consider doing the tourney on the weekend as opposed to middle of the week during rush hour for some of us? I work Monday thru Friday until 430 in nyc and have an hour commute. If we could do it on the weekend when more people are available (no school, most likely no work), we could get a full 32 man tourney which would let those who win really deserve a chance to get the voice.

Im just talking outloud, but i think more than a handful.of people should have a chance to get the voice dvery week...
 
Thats fair. For my curiousity, how many people actually battled in the first tourney? Was it only me who missed it?

Also, what time was it held on Wednesday? Will that be the consistent time going forward?

LOL don't worry, only like 12 people showed up. Tours like this take a while to get off the ground. Sign up again!

As for the timing, they're week dependent (cause they're run by the auth [usually me, but even then my times are not consistent week to week, though I'll try my best])

Welcome to the October Signups of the UUST. If you want to Sign up, simply type "in" with a UUST ALT (example: UUST King UU) PS! name to get one of the 32 slots for this week. Remember, winner gets Voice (+) in the Underused Room on PS! You cannot play this tournament if you're already Voice or higher in the Underused Room.

*Update --- Tours will happen in Underused Room, using www.challonge.com

Tour information and format can be found below:
The Tour is broken up into two sections:

Weekly Tours - This section is broken up into four tours that run on the 1st, 8th, 15th, and 22nd of each month. Each tour is a 32-man tour. Signups will be listed on a weekly basis once the previous week's tour has been completed. Signups are on a first-come-first-serve basis. As long as you are a regular user, you can sign up for every week (provided you are not top 6 for any of the weeks). The semi-finalists and finalists of these tours earn themselves a spot in the Finale Tour.

Finale Tour - This section is run on the last day of every month. This 24-man tour is broken up into 12-man divisions. Each division is made up of 4 finalists and 8 semi-finalists. The finalists each earn a bye into the second round. The finalists of each division square off in a championship bout where the winner earns themselves Voice (+)
Tour rules and clauses can be found below:
  • General tournament rules and regulations can be found here.
  • Standard XY UU Format.
  • Battles should take place on Pokemon Showdown!
  • There are no ties.
  • Pokemon currently being suspected will be allowed.
  • Scouting is allowed.
Attendance

There may be times when a certain week will not be able to attract 32 players. When this happens, players selected at random will earn a bye to the next round.


Sportsmanship
The purpose of this tournament is to help towards a fun, integrated community on Smogon and PS. If any authority deems you to be negative presence, you will be disqualified. Harsher punishments will be given to those that continue with this behaviour.


Identity

This tournament is for non-voice only. It is against the rules to create a non-auth'ed account to participate in this tournament. Failure to comply will result in a harsh punishment. Do not signup with multiple accounts. This goes against the Underused room's policy, as well as Smogon's policy. Do not do it. Sign up with the Pokemon Showdown name that you will use. There are no exceptions to this.


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 join the tournament if you think you will have to leave mid-tour, and instead join a tournament the following week.


Disconnection Clause

If a player disconnects/leaves the battle and does not appear within two minutes, a Moderator (@) or Room Owner (#) reserves the right to disqualify the player. If a player disconnects/leaves a battle and it is clear to any authority (Drivers% included) that the player was about to lose, they will be disqualified.


Battle Clauses:
Evasion Clause
OHKO Clause
Sleep Clause
Species Clause
Timed Battle
