  1. Can I get some more info on this Masters of master's.

     

    It says Swiss 50s. That's fine.

     

    But for the Master 100s, since winning my masters I have reworked my team and with the introduction of flat battles, given that the meta in rankings is really 100s (since ttar and dragonite are allowed), my team consists of 50s and 50+s. For the masters 100 tournament I have to level my 50 comps to 100 which is understandable. But my concern is that since I have to level up these 50s on my team, will the Master of Masters then be scaled to 50s so that if I or someone else from that tournament wins, we can use those 100s in the master of masters tournament and not be at that disadvantage and have to obtain new ones?

     

    Also, will ttar and dnite be allowed for the masters of masters? My bias is yes given that the new meta includes both given flat battles.

     

    The Master of Masters event will be a standard Tournament Mode Swiss tournament.

     

    Tyranitar and Dragonite will be allowed.

    Explanation:

    Welcome one and all to the Masters Invitational Finale! All year, PokeMMO's top competitors have battled it out for a place in this tournament for one reason: to show they are the best of the best. I would like to give a very big congratulations to all who have qualified for this event. I feel it is a great honor to be hosting such a tournament. With that being said, let's get into the details..

     

    This will be a Swiss tournament. For an explanation on Swiss tournaments, refer to the to spoiler below:

     

    [spoiler]A Swiss tournament tends to pair opponents based on skill level and record.
    For example -
    Round 1
    A def B
    C def D
    Since A and C both won the first round, they would be paired up for the 2nd round
    Round 2
    B def D
    C def A

    The winner is then determined by the best record and number of points. An example scoring system would be below.
    2 points for a win
    0 points for a loss
    1 point for draw[/spoiler]

  3. Introduction:

    Hello to the PokeMMO community! 

     

    With the last update, flat battles were introduced to PokeMMO via Tournament Mode. This feature is great, but it introduces a problem to our beloved Masters tournaments, OU 50s Singles & Doubles. We would like a bit of your input before making any major decisions on the formatting. Our goal is to keep the tournament as close to the meta the invites were won in as possible.

     

    The Problem:

    With the introduction of flat battles, players have felt free to level their level 50 competitive Pokemon, and in turn leaving them to be unavailable for Normal Mode in the tournaments. With this in mind, we believe a change is needed. We have come up with a few ideas and would like your input on them!

     

    Possible Solutions:

    • Option A
      • Details
        • ​Tournament Mode Tournaments.
        • Tyranitar & Dragonite are banned.
      • Pros
        • ​Keeps the tournaments similar to the old OU 50s meta.
      • Cons
        • ​Players who have grown close to Tyranitar & Dragonite may not use them.​
    • Option B
      • Details
        • Tournament Mode Tournaments.
        • Tyranitar & Dragonite are banned.
        • All moves not available on Pokemon in the old 50s meta are banned (e.g. Moonlight Umbreon).
      • Pros
        • Keeps the tournaments the same as the old OU 50s meta.
      • Cons
        • Players who have grown close to Tyranitar & Dragonite may not use them.
        • Players who have leveled their OU 50s competitive Pokemon for moves may not use them.
    • Option C
      • ​Details
        • Normal Mode Tournaments.
        • Would be normal OU 50s tournaments.
      • Pros
        • Keeps the tournaments the same as the old OU 50s meta.
      • Cons
        • Players who have grown close to Tyranitar & Dragonite may not use them.
        • Players who have leveled their OU 50s competitive Pokemon may not use them.

    Notes & Rules:

    • This is not a vote.
    • This is us gathering information and input from the community before making a fairly large decision.
    • We will not be making any changes to the Masters tournament at large (e.g. mixing 100s and 50s).
    • Feel free to list any other pros/cons that we've missed. They will be added to the OP.
    • This topic will remain open for discussion until January 10th at 6:00 PM EST.
    • All flaming will lead to hidden posts and further punishment if it continues.
  4. When a script is missing, it simply means that feature has not been implemented or has been changed.

     

    In this case, that script was removed because all players start with their Running Shoes. Hold 'B' (X by default) and hold your directional keys.

     

    I will be locking this as it is not a bug.

  5. EDIT: DISREGARD THIS

     

    The people have spoken. In a vote of 11-10, Tyranitar and Dragonite will be banned in this tournament.

     

    For banning the Pokemon:

    SirGaryOak
    Fredrichnietze
    BibleThump
    ItsGray
    RysPicz
    LionKing
    Appelsap
    JonazDK
    Fany
    sfsSkump
    Londar
     
    Against banning the Pokemon:
    DoubleJJ
    Jeremke
    2GoSu4Ya
    eggroll
    Kanzo
    Tobias22
    cristiano761
    G0dPower
    Yangsam
    EricTheGreat

     

    Well, there you have it. See you guys in a few hours.

  6. This will be a flat battle tournament.

     

    We are going to let you guys decide on whether Tyranitar and Dragonite should be banned since you had no time to prepare for them in this tournament. All level 50 tournaments from here on will include the Pokemon, however.

     

    Starting now, you have until 12:00 PM EST (2 hours 47 minutes from this post). 

     

    Tyranitar and Dragonite will be banned from UU and NU matches no matter what.

     

    Discuss. Also, keep in mind all flaming posts and drama will not be considered "votes". Let's keep it clean.
