[OU Invitational] The OUvitational - Announcement Thread - Coming Soon

[Luke]

The OUvitational 

Art by lTear

 

Are you tired of lackluster prizes, low skill filled tournaments? And a general mediocre environment? Look no further. The OUvitational will be commencing within the coming months. With a starting prize worth 80m (which is surely to rise) for the 1st place winner; we promise to bring the hype.

 

25 players who are considered elite, serial winners at the top of their game will be invited by myself. 6 will be able to qualify by play-ins. And 1 will be chosen by the highest donator. Totaling for a 32 player elite tournament.

 

Rules & Tournament Explained:

 

Spoiler

• 32 person tournament, BO3 PLAYED WEEKLY. Invite only and not open to the general public, 25 invited directly. 6 via play-ins. 1 invited by decision of the highest donor (this can not be yourself)

• 250K BUY IN NO MATTER IF YOU ARE INVITED OR NOT! IF YOU CANT FIND 250K TO CONTRIBUTE ILL FIND SOMEONE ELSE TO TAKE YOUR PLACE.

• PokeMMO OU BO3, with the GRAND final becoming BO5

• Single Elimination

• Random pairings every single round

• Standard PokeMMO Ruling + Clauses + HAX ITEMS ARE STRICTLY FORBIDDEN: I.E: QUICK CLAW, BRIGHT POWDER ETC.

• Sportsmanship and general decency are expected. Treat your opponents with respect!

• Coaching / Ghosting is STRICTLY forbidden, moderators CAN and WILL check if there is enough evidence or suspicion. Guilty parties of ghosting / coaching will be DQ’D with IMMEDIATE effect and potentially BANNED from any future events.

-DND MUST BE ON DURING THE MATCH.

• Screenshots of matchups are REQUIRED by 1 player / spectator at least. They must be placed in the ⁠screens channel in the discord. It is recommended you co-ordinate this before the game if there are any issues suspected. ANY GAMES WITH NO MATCHUP SCREENSHOTTED WILL BE VOID AND WILL NOT COUNT AS A PLAYED MATCH! SO MAKE SURE YOU SCREENSHOT BEFORE / DURING THE GAME! (A verifiable list of the 6 mons used by a ref after the game has occurred is also fine but I do not want this to happen often.)

 

If you have concerns / questions with any rules please ask in the discord.

Invites are being sent out right now, I have tried to do a soft limit of 4 players per team but I believe we went above this twice, as this was just a rule so I didn't invite 10 players from 1 team and not something I was too extreme on sticking by.

 

After the line-up of 25 confirms they are ok to play, the play-ins will be announced and the qualifiers will start.

 

All players invited will have 24 hours to accept their invite before I move onto inviting back-up options.

 

If you aren't invited and feel like you should've been, complaining will do NOTHING for you. I will not listen to it, qualify via play-ins instead. Complaining will just make me laugh at you.

 

Reminder that this is a BEST OUT OF 3 TOURNAMENT, which will be played WEEKLY.

 

It is for the top of their game in PokeMMO PVP, the innovators & highest skilled players will succeed in this tournament.

Copied from the discord:

 

The first play-in will be the "EU Play-In" sign ups will open in 1 hour 15 minutes And the tournament will begin in 2 hours 15 minutes

 

If you can't make this one / missed this one, don't worry. I intend to host "The American Play-in" and the "Asian Play-in" to ensure that I have tournaments friendly for an arrangement of time-zones.

 

At exactly 4PM BST ⁠play-in-signups will open. And 32 slots will be available for people to sign up, it is first come first served. So ensure any friends you know who want to play are in the discord ASAP. Anyone found to be signing up on multiple accounts will be permanently banned for the OUvitational 1, and any other tours we decide to host in the future. No exceptions.

 

Here are the prizes for play-ins:

1st place: 1m + Qualification for main tour

2nd place: Qualification for main tour

 

THE TOURNAMENT STARTS AT 5PM BST

 

The challonge will be posted around 30 mins before the tournament starts. You will have 10 minutes after I call you before I start going for back-ups, this is not a TT. I will not delay and waste peoples time for those who can't be bothered to show up. Good luck!
