Gen 3 Hoenn Gaiden UU Tournament
Hosts: ViZar

Servus! Welcome to the first tournament of Hoenn Gaiden UU, a tier that has went throught a lot of different iterations but finally found a good fooding. This tournament is here to gain data to make UU a full-fledged tier.

For un-initiated, Hoenn Gaiden is a Pet Mod based on the 3rd generation. Its purpose is to expand on the ADV OU metagame by adding Moves, Items, Abilities and, most importantly, Pokemon from later generation, as well as providing reworks and/or buffs for already existing Pokemon. The goal is to add more options to ADV OU, without making it feel like it isn't ADV OU anymore.

Resources:
  • Main Thread - Main updates will be announced there.
  • Discord - Feel free to join the Discord server, if you have any further questions or if you just want to be part of the mod!
  • Changelog - Check this out, to get an idea of the changes that were made.
  • UU Resource Sheet - This is new! Including Speed Tiers, a Role Compendium and soon, a VR for HG UU.

Tournament Rules:
  • All general rules apply. Click here for guidelines about scheduling matches.
  • Matches are Best of 3, which means that the first person to win two games wins the set and moves on in the tournament.
  • Matches are to be played in the Dragon Heaven Showdown Server. It is very highly recommended that you use the Dragon Heaven client, which makes teambuilding and battling much easier. Said client is linked above.
  • Replays are mandatory. It's highly recommended that you both upload AND download the replay, to ensure that if the replay gets overwritten, we still have it for the purposes of usage stats.
  • This is a single elimination tournament.
Identity
About playing on alts: It is entirely allowed to play on an alt other than your own main forum name, though if your opponent wishes to confirm your identity, you must log on to your main alt to show them you are who you claim to be. This is to prevent people from pretending to be who they're not.

Scouting
On scouting opponents: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. An exception to this is abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to, which is strictly forbidden.
On leaking teams: Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.

Timer Clause / Disconnections
On Timeout losses: A player that loses by having all his time run out loses the game. This is only not the case if the player that received the timeout loss can be verified to have suffered a True Disconnection. Rematches are only allowed if there was a True Disconnection.
On True Disconnection: The TD team has a secret threshold of seconds that your timer must be at or above, from the moment you disconnect, for a timeout loss to be considered a True disconnection.

Banned Pokemon - Pre-Round 1 Legality:

Round 2!

I made a mistake regarding the match between SwordIsBored and MultiPokemon, by forgetting to pair them. I contacted both of them and the win was given to MultiPokemon.

Paulluxx and Lord Zorz couldn't find time to play their game, therefore I randomly picked between them. Therefore, Lord Zorz wins this round.

Round 3 aka Semi-Finals!

Ema Skye left the tour, therefore a user that was out last round got an opportunity to rejoin. Rezzo took that place and won against bowserbrowser.

Pairings:
Rezzo vs. DkKoba
Syched
vs. Chmem

You will have time until 11th March, 8:59 GMT+1
Good Luck and Have Fun!

I almost forgot to close the tournament, but congrats to Syched for winning Hoenn Gaiden UU's first tournament! Well played to everyone who participated in the tour and thanks for playing! You can find the usage statistics here. For the uninitiated, Syched and Rezzo decided to play without the bans.

Future tournaments for UU are most likely going to be smaller suspect tours but for now, the recent bans surely changed the tier in drastic ways.

Have a nice day! Ciao Servus
