So, most of us have played on wifi and have found it to be ridiculously slow and quite limited in terms of pokemon, movesets and the like when compared to the simulator we were all used to: NetBattle, and simulators in general.
Shoddybattle (www.shoddybattle.com - it's a Java DP simulator) has recently been developed and serves as quite a suitable replacement for wifi battling and so here we are with a tournament. It will be a "standard" tournament in that I will post pairings, give a deadline and you'll battle, etc. 64-man, single elimination, no teams.
For rules I'm thinking:
Sleep Clause
Species Clause
Self-KO Clause (if you use Explosion/Selfdestruct/another move that KOs you and it's your last pokemon out, you lose 100% of the time, even if your opponent dies too)
OHKO Move Ban (Fissure, Horn Drill, Sheer Cold, Guillotine)
Evasion ban (anything to do with evasion: BrightPowder, Double Team, Minimize, etc.)
The following pokemon are banned: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-oh, Latios, Latias, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Deoxys (all forms), Palkia, Dialga, Giratina, Darkrai, Arceus (all types), Wobbuffet, and Manaphy.
Tyranitar, Celebi and Jirachi (fuck you mre) are allowed. No, I will not ban Blissey.
Post here if you'd be willing to participate in such a tournament, if you have a question/suggestion/comment about anything possibly related to it, or if you have a problem getting Shoddybattle to work (I'll try to put up some sort of FAQ-type thing for Shoddybattle too if this generates enough interest). If you want to contact me personally you can PM me here or on IRC (irc.dejatoons.net as alex or lords; join #smogon while you're there).
I will also probably need a staff to watch battles when I'm not here as Shoddybattle is known to occasionally disconnect you and I don't want any arguments made if one person doesn't want to rematch or whatever.
Go!
EDIT: SIGNUPS WILL BE ON SUNDAY, JULY 29th STARTING AT 6:00PM EDT. FIRST 64 POSTS ARE IN - IF YOUR POST IS DELETED, IT MEANS YOU ARE NOT JOINING THE TOURNAMENT. IF YOU KNOW YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO MAKE IT THEN BUT DESPERATELY WANT TO JOIN , PM ME.
