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

explosion can be used? or still not.

 

I had clarification from Xelabert on the forums, Explosion is allowed at this time. If you find any bugs with this move please report it to him immediately and the move will once again be banned. Also, we will not be limited to Level 50 Pokemon as the OU Tournament is.

Since the other thread is locked and I have no idea how to figure this out how is the tie breaker score calculated and how was it determined who came in second place in the 50s Master's? I just was glancing at the bracket and couldn't figure it out. 

 

I am fairly clueless about the Swiss Tournament. 

 

Thanks in advance for any one who cares to explain!

The tie-break score is calculated according to the Median-Buchholz system. It shows the sum of the player's opponents' scores, best and worse scores discarded.

 

In case players are tied by score and tie-break score, they are sorted based on their records relative to one another.

 

This is why Frags came second, because he won against ThinkNice.

Staff so sneaky and wouldn't even answer whether they were modding that sort of thing or not.

Word of advice: as a host you want a smooth tournament that is enjoyable for everyone. If you think a rule is at risk for being broken (especially if people are asking for clarification) then state the specifics on it. It makes for a better event overall and people are much happier.

Also... Bloo, I find it hard to believe someone else was playing your character since Lyle was so against this yesterday? This isn't even sarcasm but yeah. Super confused.
