2011 TREZ Pokémon Tournament

Hosted by Yatterman-2 aka Torchman

Rules written by Saberman

Entries Begin: February 28, 2011

Entries End: April 13, 2011 (will be extended if there are not enough competitors)

Round 1 Begins: April 19, 2011 (6 days given to give the host(s) time to prepare the brackets)

~Tournament Rules~
-All battles will be fought 6 on 6 Single Battle style using Pokémon Online, a battle simulator. The program could be found here: http://www.pokemon-online.eu/

*Regarding the Program*
1. Use the Team Builder to build your team. This program prevents ALL cheating, so illegal movesets or stats are not possible. Please keep and utilize all 510 EVs available. If you need help building teams as far as strategy goes, use this link to help you out.
2. Please create your Trainer using your current TREZ name to make it easy to recognize you.
3. A server will be created especially for TREZ to use for the tournament so non-TREZians cannot access the server. The name and password to enter the server will be posted shortly.
4. During EACH match in the tourney, AT LEAST 2 users must have Pokémon Online open, present on the aforementioned server,and select "Become a Spectator/Watch This Battle" and become spectators. These two or more users will be watching the battle to the end and observing the battle logs. This is to have a witness for disconnects and/or be rules consultants/judges (i.e., someone uses a Pokémon that they didn't register, use Gen. 5 stuff, etc.)

Banned Pokemon and Abilities


-Entrants may register two additional Pokémon (aside from their team of 6) to swap into their team between battles. If a competitor is caught using a Pokémon aside from the total of 8 registered, that competitor will be disqualified.

-There will be 32 total entrants in the tournament. If there is not enough it will be cut down to 16.

Final Notes:
Prize will be announced later on.
Please post any questions here. Post Entries in this thread using the following template:

Sure, I've got strategies running around in my head that i see no reason not to showcase them in a tourney, Might i pose a few questions and proposals though?

- It was forementioned that 5th Gen Stuff was banned, aftrermentioned, do i set my Gen to 4 or do i keep it in Gen 5?(I'm playing in the said format right now with Gen 4 Ubers and Items.) You didn't specifically state that format must be set to Gen IV.

- Do different sets with same PokeMon count toward the "Main Team --> Sub Team" prospect? You mentioned to list no moves on the thought that the "Element of Suprise" on each trainer's side to make matters more interesting after all and different sets will help that immensely.

- Might i propose a "Ladder" policy? Not that it matters to the main idea of the Tournament, just to help players identify just how good his opponent is.

- Please post which Clauses (Sleep, Species, Evasion etc.) will be run in each battle, My proposal is to set Sleep, Species, Wi-fi and Freeze clauses on since this will rid of people who abuse non-Darkrai sleep-inducing teams and the Wi-fi will help the players brief their opponent's team before the match begins. (Not that i don't have an appropriate strategy for each factor my opponent plays on me but..)

- and lastly (which isn't really a question.), If there is a set factor that Gen V can be played even in a post-Tourney "Exhibition Match", The standard metagame (That's OU to you guys.) ban list can be found in the PO forums.

I'm knowledgable with the program's Interface so if there's something i missed or if you need someone with Interface experience, Please don't hesitate to ask.

I'll post my team after the above questions get settled.

There's no Gen V anything. So bump your stuff down to IV.

Well if you don't tell anybody nobody knows right? That's the danger any poklemon tourney has, whether it's with the actual games or PO.

I'll get back to you on that ladder bit. I was going to do brackets, but I'm still waiting for more sign ups >_>

I'm fairly certain we won't be doing any clauses. However if I get reports there was a ton of one status effect spammed in some matchs, then there will be >_> (But could you explain the species and Wifi part please? I'm still a little new to the program as well.)

We have our ubers... Although if you could find the PO's list so I could compare that would actuallly be awesome.

Yeah, forgot all about clauses. Personally I think there should be a sleep and evasion clause, freeze clause is whatever since not to many people abuse it unless they get the hax off of a icebeam or blizzard or something.

I'm guessing you wanted Gen V abilities and items so you could abuse ditto? 8D

I can easily set up clauses in the server settings. I'll just put all of the standard ones on (sleep, evasion, etc.)

No ladder system. This is a small tournament and there really isn't a variety of opponents to call for a complex setup. There's no proof of who's better than who anyways since most of the ones signing up are new to simulator battling.

@ Yatter-man:

So are same Pokemon with different sets allowed?

Ladders are just for fun, helps to know what you're ranked in PO if you've been playing, (I peaked #243, but it's still bad.)

The standard clauses are Species, Sleep, Freeze and Wi-fi, The Wi-fi is for each player's Team Preview (though i prefer to play without it.)

Here are the Uber suspects, (Salamence, Garchomp and Latios are back in OU BTW.) I've got them from someone in Smogon and there's
no such thing as UU, NU, Limbo and NFE in Vth Generation Yet.

I'm the one who wrote the rules so if you have any questions, consult me, then him.

-Yes, same Pokemon with different sets are allowed. The Subs are ANY two of your choice.
-We're using Gen. IV's uber list since that's what nearly everyone is used to.

^ Read the first post. When I wrote the rules I made it clear when the entries end and the first round begins. Basically, a week and a half from now.

I'll probably be posting mine soon. I'm just checking for balance issues. Other than me, I think there are 2-3 members who are in but haven't posted their teams yet, likely preparing all they could (or are just procrastinating). Aside from them, I'll also try to bring in some other people I know.

You guys mind if i invite a few friends from Smogon (with TREZ accounts.) to the tourney? Nubs and Pros alike?

Only if they already have TREZ accounts like you said. If they have yet to make one, then that defeats the purpose of the tournament. The point is for already-existing members of the community to compete.
