IGN: Cali
Motivation: the answer you want to hear- i was given my first chance to play in this event within months of learning what ivs and evs were (shame on @RysPiczfor stealing my ignorance) and believe im now capable to pay that forward while working for basically the last accomplishment i dont have in this game: winning this event
the real answer- i threw 30m into this so now i feel partially responsible and invested
Competitive Accolades: 3 official scavenger hunt wins, lifetime positive in every major sweaty pvp event slotted in every tier (16-12 PSL, 7-2 WC, 3-0 PSL Teams, started and didn't lose in v4s only tt win, hit r7 in my first dpp smog tour blah blah etc etc)

Duration
1 hour for catching
Another 20 minutes for players to submit entries
Scoring
[Total Sum of IVs + Nature Bonus (Piplup)] + [Total Sum of IVs + Nature Bonus (Chimchar)] + [Total Sum of IVs + Nature Bonus (Turtwig)] = Total Score
Pokemon accepted as valid entries:

Nature Bonus:
Timid, Jolly, Naive, and Hasty (Miedosa, Alegre, Ingenua, Activa) Natures are +5
Explanation
Teams will be allowed to have up to 3 people each, standard catching rules apply and will be explained below.
The total score of all 3 entries will be calculated when determining winners.
If you are not registered in a team by the time the event starts, you will have to participate solo, but will get all of the prize money for yourself :thonk:
If you are looking for a team, feel free to join the discord (https://discord.gg/VVaBdg) and post under #find-team-for-events
It is strongly encouraged to use the link chat function with your teammates during the event. Please note that each player is not restricted to only catching one species.
For example, if Parke from Team VVVV has a strong Squirtle entry (170iv knock on wood), he can come to the Charmander spot or the Bulbasaur spot to help his teammates. It doesn't matter who catches what as long as the final submission has OTs of the players registered in the team (an entry of 2 Parke OTs and 1 Orange OT is valid. So is an entry of 3 Parke OTs ez carry).
I only ask that each team submits all 3 of their entries in the same pm pls ty
Registration:
Now!
Teams can register up to 3 people
Post your team here according to the format:

for next year i would suggest to not do this formula shit again. i know people can always sub out but a host can always keep that in mind giving the prizes. this season 3/5 prices went to someone that just hide last game. yes you need to win weeks to reach that point so congrats to them they are the best of the season. but it feels unfair towards players that play all weeks they can.

Regarding the scoring system, while it does have its pros of being able to define a more objective MVP, the actions taken by the majority of the award winners to secure their title is a bit concerning. We've seen allegations of throwing, dodging opponents depending on how other players in the standings are doing, and dragging out activity with no consequence, which overall probably isn't very healthy in a tournament which should be promoting high level matches to actually be played.
I wouldn't fault the scoring system in this instance because at the end of the day, what we're seeing here is player driven. The players are the ones who can make the choice to forego additional competition to exploit an award. For context, the last time this ranking system was used, both Zhiko and SweeTforU had similar records at the end of week 6. The next week, Sweet plays early and splits his matches (there were two per week). So in Zhiko's eyes, the extensive subbing in and out we've seen in this PSL is probably similar to if during week 7, after beating Jason once (who at the time was 6-2) he were to sub out or grab activity since there's a possibility he might lose the MVP if he stays in and loses the second game. Obviously this thought never crosses his mind and he plays and wins both duels back to back to secure his MVP. So on that front, I can understand his frustration since he probably expected his competitors to play their games and not care about numbers on an excel document, similar to his path to that PSL's MVP.
Future actions are tricky. If a player is really that averse to extra competition for an award, it brings into question the integrity of both the player and the award, sure. But there's not a whole lot a host can do about it. Obviously, credit the player for winning enough to put them in this situation, but the schedule strength for each player is an uncontrollable variable. This could lead to some matches that may be extremely important in week 7 and others where a team is already effectively eliminated, leading to potential throwing and/or dodging.
SpoilerFor an extreme example, if player A finishes 6-1, while player B sits at 6-0 and has to play the same person player A lost to, would you automatically give the MVP to player B, who realizes with this system he/she can hide and potentially secure an award?
A potential solution would be to use the scoring system to count as 1 baseline vote, and then each small council member (let's say there are 3 members in this instance) and the host would also vote, totaling to 5. If the vote results in a clear dispute, a salty suite esque exhibition with the candidates in question before the playoffs could settle it. By adding a level of subjectivity, players may potentially not be as liberal with their movements in and out of the lineup or be as keen to coordinate a throw.
Tldr: This scoring system has been used before, but everyone played their games in the past (to my knowledge). The alleged actions seen in this edition could set an unwanted precedent for future PSLs
