I guess those sleepless nights remaking my team to make the deadline was worthless. lmao
Well, now i have more time to tweak it.

Ugh. I really need real internet before this starts or updating will be a pain.

RULE CHANGE
- You cannot change items between matches / rounds

Not really a change, but with confirmation that team preview will be on for the VGC, do not feel like it's cheating to re-arrange your team and what Pokemon you pick for the match.

Just to clarify are we allowed to rearrange the items we have selected on our Pokémon?

No you cannot. Sorry, re-reading what I wrote I guess what I wrote wasn't very clear. No switching items even between Pokemon.

Curious, why the rule change?

Doesn't matter, I'm going to have to drop out. :( I need to shift priority towards my studies.

Ok, let me get this straight.

No swapping of items between battles, and there's no item clause, correct?

Item clause is still on, but the rest of what you said is correct.

I was guessing rules based on the Japanese rules but US / EU rules were released earlier this week.

How'd Andrex get banned anyway, never seen him do anything that could be consider bannable...unless he made a bet or something. Its probably a temp either way. I think Gravijah got temped too.

Anyway got to get back to training. Glad that I dont have my first test till May 12.

Why Is everyone dropping now? >.<
Battles are less than 10 minutes in most cases AND we have multiple nights to complete them as far as I'm aware. :/

I'm still in, curious as to why it is starting May 2nd and we have yet to see a battle lineup though.

Because I haven't had non-mobile internet in over two weeks and I see no reason to put up a bracket until the tournament begins.

Dear god, I hate to join the trend, but I may have to drop out too. I'm no where near getting up to speed and have very little time at the moment.

Hmm.. since I'll be busy during most of the day tomorrow is it possible to have my first match shortly after midnight tonight? :p

I'm still in the tourney so be sure to slot me in to a bracket.
I will get destroyed (finally reached the 8th gym) - but it will be a good learning experience.
Got a little too consumed teaching myself a number of RNG methods at the expense of advancing through the game.
Kind of difficult to build a Trick Room team without access to Trick Room, isn't it? ;)

I spent 2 hours on the phone yesterday (Bell sucks and so do delivery companies who are not only stupid, but only deliver during your work hours) then was too tired when I got home from watching the Canucks game at the pub (eastern time + west coast game = bad). I could have done it but I want to change the format so people can play more. Hopefully nobody objects to round robin in pools of 5 before the single elimination for top 16? This way everyone gets to play at least 4 opponents. I'll try to organize that by time zone.

Sounds fine. Good luck with the internet problem man.

Round 1
Ok, change of plans! Since we have both a smaller number of players than the first DP tournament and a not-very-nice number of them for a standard tournament, we'll start off with pool play before going to the single elimination tournament. This gives everyone at least four battles! You will play each person in your division in a best of three match. The top two people from each division will move onto a single elimination bracket. You have until 11:59PM on Tuesday, May 24th to finish all your battles in the division. That's almost three weeks so I expect everyone to finish!

Top 2 will be determined by wins.

do you want teams/items submitted to you or are we just going to assume no one does a switch up after a loss? :p

I'm going to go by honour rule. It's GAF. It's small. It's Poke-GAF. I trust you guys <3 I've never had an issue in any of the tournaments I've run here.

In the meantime, you should PM everyone (and email Andrex) with the bracket, so that they know what's up.
