OrangeManiac Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) #thisisit #allcomesdowntothis #cansaiyansrespondtoscrubdoctor'strashtalk #getfcknhyped As a reminder: Sportsmanship [spoiler] You will respect your teammates and above all you will respect your manager. If you got drafted by a manager you don't like or want you will have to put these feelings aside. Signing up is like signing a contract, and these are conditions you have to accept. Disobeying your PSL duties will result in blacklisting. At any point of time the host can give you a warning or a restriction based on your behavior. Don’t act like a uguu and you should be fine. Trying to purposely evade matches, or not trying to get your match done for example can result in penalties. It’s fine to have a little bit of drama, in fact in can make the whole PSL experience more enjoyable. Don’t push it though and please refrain from flaming excessively. Try to keep interaction on a human level so we can all avoid large scale drama’s. Picking on players is fine as long as it doesn’t turn in to harassment. [/spoiler] Ghosting & Coaching [spoiler] To all managers and players I would like to say: please refrain from coaching or ghosting for someone. Ghosting, playing on another person’s account, is an officially ban-able offense. Coaching is not but it does take away from competition like it is meant to be. As a manager or a team member you should have confidence in the ability of your teammate. As a player standing from the sidelines you should have respect for a player’s ability. Helping with practicing is absolutely fine and helping with teambuilding is also good, in fact I would encourage these activities. The grey area is telling what an opponent’s Pokémon set could be or what a player should watch out for. Some battlers find this irritating as it can ruin the surprises but some are fine with it, so keep this in mind (read: ‘Revealing Teams & Sets) [/spoiler] Revealings Teams & Sets [spoiler]Publically revealing teams before a battle by any means is not allowed and you will be punished. Do not publically announce teams. I don’t care what you do in your team PMs, but in threads or during matches do not do this. During battle do not participate in commentating about possible upcoming moves. Please let all the decisionmaking and knowledge come from the players and don't affect on the match as a spectator. Speculating really obscure moves is not harmful, yet I'd encourage this wouldn't be done at all.[/spoiler] Getting your battles done [spoiler] This is largely in the player’s hands and there is not much to do about it. I can however try to award the player that is actively trying to get his match done as opposed to neglecting someone’s effort. Follow these guidelines to get your battle done in time or to at least secure a victory for your team in case of player inactivity. Every week will have a separate thread within it the week's match-ups and including a deadline for that week's matches. When you agree on a time you must post in the weekly thread the time and date you agreed on or ten minutes before your match starts. IF YOU DO NOT DO THIS the match will be forfeit on both sides. ShowDown players are required to always provide a replay of their match, or this match will too be forfeited. Within 48 hours after the Weekly Match-Ups are posted: PM your opponent with at least 3 different time ranges you will be available, at least 2 must be at least 24 hours apart. Post in the thread stating that you have contacted your opponent. If neither opponent does this: you risk a substitution (getting put out of a team due to inactivity) or a no-contest match. Don't risk yourself or your own team. Within 72 hours after the Weekly Match-Ups are posted: Respond to your opponent either agreeing to one of the proposed times or, if none of them work for you, respond with at least 3 time ranges that will work for you When a time is agreed on, post in the weekly thread with the time of the battle If you do not respond before the 72 hour limit: you must still respond 48 hours before the deadline. 48 Hours before the Weekly Deadline: If neither opponent has PM'd with a time: The match is considered no-contest and does not count for either team. If your opponent responds but doesn't do that within 72 hours of the Weekly Match-Ups are posted you are required to respond in 24 hours. You may accept the times given by your opponent or give 3+ new times that your opponent has to accept. If one opponent PM'd within the timeframe and did not receive a response from the other player: The player who did not respond forfeits the match. It is a Win for the player who sent a PM and a Loss for the player who failed to respond. Of course after the battle is done report in the weekly thread that you won or lost. Huge thanks to Imgur for summarizing it in a clearer way and to Aldaron from Smogon for the system. As a reminder, if your opponent is not responding you have to contact your opponent's manager or host (preferably opponent's manager, though) as soon as you discover inactivity. It's also highly recommended to add both your own manager and your opponent manager in the PM so managers will know constantly where are we at. Also using your opponent's "profile wall" is a good option. This way substitutes can be used in time and matches will be done by playing. Not letting host/opposing manager let know about inactivity will result in a more likely no contest. [/spoiler] Note: VGC is VGC 2016. Best of 3 as always (same team all 3 matches). Here's a link for rules for a lack of a better one but that covers it all. Showdown should work accordingly. ZE FINALS: The Raging Lions (6) vs (4) The Saiyans OU1: Walpayer vs. Qbeertje OU2: Guerinf vs. Eloyriptor UU1: DestructX vs. MisterHide UU2: ShinyTaillow vs. Kyzukun NU: KaynineXL vs. giantpipe Doubles: Schuchty vs. PandaJJ DPP OU: Robofiend vs. KingBowser VGC 2016: DoctorPBC (2) vs. Telf (1) Tiebreaker: OU: Walpayer vs. MisterHide NU: DestructX vs. giantpipe DPP OU: Robofiend vs. KingBowser Some notes: Tiebreaker like in semi-finals, which means Lions nominate first if a tie occurs. No deadline, however please get the matches done asap. If someone is really inactive/unable to play the match a substitute may be put in or ordered by me. A substitute in finals will happen that a substituting team will nominate two substitutes from which the opponent chooses which one they want to play. Get fucking hyped. 3rd place match: No Mercy (4) vs (6) Unexpected Flying Octillery OU1: Hassan vs. Piata OU2: Senjutsuka vs. Maekaaay UU1: Kemaric vs. Yangsam UU2: Raaidn vs. xSparkie NU: timwaps vs. LeTyrone Doubles: Artemiseta vs. JIce DPP OU: Gunthug vs. Spaintakula VGC 2016: CaptainKek (2) vs. BlueBreath (0) Tiebreaker: OU: Raaidn vs. Piata UU: Wiriketchup vs. Yangsam Doubles: Artemiseta vs. JIce Some notes: Same as finals but substitutes are given more loosely. Winner will get guaranteed spot for next season after all. Don't forget to use the profile feed or PM with managers included! Remember to post your scheduled battle time in this thread. If you start immediately, post in this thread 10 mins before battling. Showdown players remember to provide replays.
