Best of luck to you! :3

[TemiFemi22]

It's funny because I had a similar idea for a tourney like this... Anyways, looks like fun.

[Noad]

Yay for Kearsten hosted events <3

[fredrichnietze]

by teams do you mean we have to leave our teams and join another team? do each player in the winning team get a shiny meowth? will there be 2 winners or 1? in the event of a 1v1 do the two winners fight without healing?

Of course they're not going to make you leave your team lol. The team to make it and win the finals will be turning on one another and facing off for the last final battle!

[Kearsten]

Nono, you do not have to leave your current team. I will be randomizing for people to join a temporary partnership for the tournament. So you will be matched up with someone random! There will be only 1 first place winner, as this is what happens at the end: 

 

- The team to make it and win the finals will be turning on one another and facing off for the last final battle!

 

And no, the team who wins the finals will be allowed to go heal before they fight off against one another.

[Elkaroo]

Me being the stereotypical average player and in no way shape or form being an idiot, I noticed you didn't inclued anything about volpi clause not being allowed, so that cleary means it is allowed.

Why mirror coat?

[fredrichnietze]

what if i get assigned a partner that i hate? what if my partner DC's or gets DQ'd?

[2GoSu4Ya]

Time to show you suckas what a real OU team looks like! I'm here to win glory, respect, fame and have a great time. I hope you guys are ready for a good whoopin! Great Prize IN stakes that pink Meowth ~

[fredrichnietze]

btw to whoever wins the meowth, i'll overpay for it

[Kearsten]

Woops you're right, it's OU. Fixed!

[Kearsten]

what if i get assigned a partner that i hate? what if my partner DC's or gets DQ'd?

Unfortunately that would mean you have to win both matches on your own since it would count as a win to the other side. In the condition of a DC of your partner, I will allow the other member to heal before they face off against the other person. DC's can happen in any other tournament though so it's not entirely a unheard of thing.

 

And if you hate your partner, just remember you get the chance of fighting them at the end if you make it to the finals and win.

[Dannnno]

For the hate part, you get the opportunity to kick their ass at the end. For the rest I imagine that it would work with the other team you're fighting getting a bye on that end or something

[fredrichnietze]

since we have to rely so much on our partner shouldnt we be able to choose him/her?

[2GoSu4Ya]

I am digging this idea so much i hope I get a partner who hates me cause I'll enjoy trolling him.

[Barrage]

This doesn't make much sense. You should be able to pick your own partner. Being paired with someone random is just disappointing. Also, that means that whoever randomly gets paired with a very strong player, or just a lucky pair of two strong players, will smash teams where other strong players are being brought down by a weaker player. Just seems like it is a bit flawed, but perhaps the intention is to give a chance to players who may not have someone to pair themselves with. I also think it is more dramatic and fitting if you have to fight your friend as opposed to a random pair for the finale.

[fredrichnietze]

their have always been people who arent srs about winning and it isnt fair to good players who get teamed with a troll or a bad player

[2GoSu4Ya]

You guys are seriously a bunch of cry babies just man up and get ready to carry your partner or get ready to lose! Don't sit here and whine about it.

I see your concern and I've had this brought up, but I appreciate your input. This is a new idea, that some are for and some are not. If people don't want to participate they don't have to, there are other tournaments that may peek their interest coming up in December. 

[fredrichnietze]

So you'd rather have people who dominate tournaments pairing up with one another and having a huge advantage over other players? I wouldn't. This is a new idea and I will try it. If people don't want to participate they don't have to, there are other tournaments that may peek their interest coming up in December. 

great players will still pair up and have a huge advantage. just through RNG instead of choice and fewer of them will giving the few a even better advantage.

And great players will still have a chance of being paired with someone not as successful in tournaments as they are. There will be challenges and matches in general can be won based off solely RNG.
