Okay, this will be the official thread for our KH13 tournament from here we will discuss the details and set up the actual tournament. Depending on the success I might make this a regular thing. We will be playing the tournament via Pokemon Showdown.

Beware the Bewear

Would just saying "Bewear" be a sufficient abbreviation /shotshot

if i were to be completely honest, this doesn't even feel like a tournament anymore. it's starting to feel like a battling league, similar to what a few youtubers do. it's dragged on a bit too long

Nothing we can do about that, it's just too hard with timezone issues.

we CAN do something about it, we stop calling it a tournament. it's not the people involved, it's the situation. A tournament somewhat implies competition for glory, when all we are really doing (or at least should be) is battling for fun.

Well we still have the group matches, once we finished them the "real" tournament will start. And of course we battle also for fun.

Well man, I'm doing this for fun, if you're not I don't see why you're still here Anyways, I'm guessing you enjoy playing too, but the point is that Robbie has kept track of our wins and loses, so there still is something that decides if we're at the top or not.

like a battling league. 

like a battling league. 

That's what I would call it tbh, but as far as I'm aware a league is a type of tournament, just without an elimination phase. In fact, I think we spoke about this some time ago, we wanted it to be more like a league so everyone had the chance to play for the same amount of time.

no a league has an elimination phase, same as this tournament. after a certain point only the best records move forward. the major difference is that tournaments don't allow changes to teams or setups

Look, I'm sorry to say that I follow Football/Soccer, and that is organized by leagues, such as the Premier League, and there's no elimination phase there

 

 

If you're talking about proper pokémon tournaments/leagues/whatever, I'll give you this one since I have no clue about how those work XDD

pokemon leagues. why would i be talking about sports?

pokemon leagues. why would i be talking about sports?

What I meant is that when someone refers to a league that's the kind of structured league I think of

Does it really matter the semantics? This was discussed and agreed upon from the very beginning. Hell, I wanted a straight tournament from the beginning, but everyone agreed this was most convenient because of so many different timezones. I don't see what the point of complaining now.

What Robbie said. It's done and dusted and yes, it's gonna be long, but we're still just having fun. The real competition will be the final 4.

 

Also, I may not be very good at playing pokemon, but I have a fair bit of experience with the official structure of it.

 

The Pokemon leagues are local shops and clubs meeting up every week or so and battling, with a style similar to what we're doing I think. Then you have Premier challenges - these are relatively new, and I've never been to one - which are the "lowest' kind of tournament, attendance in these are pretty small, and they have the same structure as all regional, national and the world Championships.

 

We were never gonna be able to best of three Swiss rounds and then have a top cut. Robbie didn't even suggest that I think. We're not even playing vgc doubles.

 

So, either way, it would never have been a 'real' tournament
