All Gens Old Gen Tournament Ideas

[Lutra]

Post your old gen tournament ideas here, including the tournament format and featured tiers. You can also reply to other ideas.

I've decided to make this thread because I've had a few people PMing me over the last couple of years about tournament ideas. For whatever reasons, a lot of decent ideas don't get followed up enough, so I'm hoping this thread can bring some of these ideas closer to reality.

Tagging a few people who have either pmed me on forums or I remember showing interest in tournament ideas: Apollo., Elegyy, SOMALIA, Honko, Malekith, Drud, Leru, Huston .

To make this clear, this is not a thread offering to host your tournament ideas, although some people might want to. Tournaments you want to host in the RoA subforum, will still have to be approved by me, Jellicent and undisputed. Tournaments you want to host in Circuit tournaments, will have to be approved by a competitive section leader/moderation team, with those leaders/teams supervising you, or for the case of the Tournaments forum be approved in Tournament applications and the Tournament rules and guidelines should be read beforehand.

Free worlds longest tour

Free worlds longest tour

I think it will come back at some point, but it was effectively 7 continuous mini swiss tournaments to manage simultaneously, at the cost of probably hosting multiple easier tournaments that each have unique feels to them.

 

[SOMALIA]

DPP team trials so teams of 3, would be amazing and alot of people on forums have been getting into dpp ou recently.

Another idea is perhaps alphabet DPP OU, so you get 6 random letters and you build your team based on those so mons starting with those letters.

Basically anything including dpp ou, I live and die for dpp ou

I really like the 3 person dpp team tour, I'd be more than willing to do that whether it be in roa or the tournaments forum

 

[Lutra]

In RoA, we tend to either rotate between old gens in a series or include all old gens in one tournament, so a standalone DPP team trials tournament sounds better suited to unofficial tournaments.

team trials for maybe gen1-5 OU then ?

Drud mentioned this to me already. I do like the idea of including a team version of RoAST in the circuit. I would prefer including gen 6 too even though it's an extra complication. I haven't got the time to host this myself, so a tournament application PM to us three RoA Mods would be the way to go.

 

[Fakes]

Adv OU without Spikes, Sand Stream and Arena Trap/Magnet Pull (Spike-less Adv could possibly include Deoxys-S and -D)

Gsc OU with Ho-oh and Celebi

 

[ThriceElite]

there should be a DPP LC team tour other than lcpl where we can form a team with our friends instead of being drafted or "nations"
3 people teams sounds like a good starting point

maybe round robin?

if this tour ever becomes a thing notify me so i can sign up

 

[Huston]

Anything rby I am willing to help with in any way possible.

Nintendo Cup style Pokemon Stadium tournament (Generation 1). Build a team with 6 Pokemon and chose 3 to battle depending on the 6 your opponent brings, Stadium mechanics (or cartridge, doesnt really matter too much; make it Stadium 7 turn sleep in 3v3 is ridiculous). I would not want to host this though

Pretty fun tier all in all, could be nice if it got some coverage. A bit unbalanced but, could be easily alleviated with the banning of a few mons. Gonna add more replays later

do spring/winter ssnl style double elim tours for gens 1-5?

http://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/rby-double-elimination-tour-finals-won-by-eb0la.3623931/

something like that probably works, and gives people an easyish rolling way to steadily get into older tiers without the hassle of managing several smaller tours at once

feel like this is relatively straightforward as opposed to creating new formats as well

Stadium 1 & 2 PokéCup would be sick. Level 50-55 with a 155 combined level cap. Such an unexplored meta.

There's nothing in PS programming to enforce the level rule though afaik...

 

[Beelzemon 2003]

I love Gen 2 Middle Cup to death (I love it more if item clause is also enforced), so if you want to play send me a challenge, I already have teams.

ORAS without Mega-Medicham ? :)

 

[Malekith]

an UU WCoP. it may be a world cup or just a team tour, but all the gens being UU instead of OU.

FT2W (bo3) RBY OU tournament, but with a twist - once you lose a game in the set, you are allowed to use Mew. The idea is to see how effective Mew is when it doesn't have to worry about other Mew, while also being a challenge for the OU team user to beat a Mewbers team.

Old Gen OU Seasonals are on the new calendar!

Also I will be submitting a tournament application for the Mewbers idea, OU will be the tiebreaker instead of Mewbers though, and Mewbers is the first match.

I've got an idea for the next tournament year: Prize Money multipliers.

For all Lutra sponsored tournaments, you can earn up to 2x the advertised prize money by the following ways. Note that different multipliers do not sum or multiply with each other, or produce any higher number by combining them in any n-ary operation or n-parameter function. The different ways to qualify for each multiplier also only result in a single applied multiplier. When the criteria for a higher multiplier is met, that higher multiplier becomes the new only applied multiplier.

2.0x: Gold Host (hosted 100+ Tour Nights) / Gold Trainer (won 100+ Night Tours) / sponsor a $50 tournament (not the multiplier) / don't claim a $50 prize.
1.8x: Silver Host (hosted 80-99 Tour Nights) / Silver Trainer (won 80-99 Night Tours)
1.6x: Bronze Host (hosted 60-79 Tour Nights) / Bronze Trainer (won 60-79 Night Tours)
1.4x: Green Host (hosted 40-59 Tour Nights) / Green Trainer (won 40-59 Night Tours)
1.2x: Red Host (hosted 20-39 Tour Nights) / Red Trainer (won 20-39 Night Tours)
1.0x: Everyone else.

Multipliers don't activate retrospectively. If you win a tournament, you'll get the multiplier at the time of winning it. If you win a tournament and don't claim the $50, you are not eligible to then get the $50 bonus (from the multiplier) for that tournament. If you win a tournament that you sponsor, you also aren't eligible for the $50 bonus.

GSC OU No Species Clause Tour. Call it "I Love Lax" or something like that.
