    Alphabetical Duel Explosion

    [​IMG]


    Welcome to the Alphabetical Duel Explosion Tournament, my first tournament as a hoster. Gen V brought a lot of new pokemon, new strategies, new stalling techniques. This tournament will be Standard Wifi OU, best 2 out of 3 matches each round. Players will receive 5 random letters at the start of the tournament, and with that they'll go until the end, same letters, but can change teams members between matches or rounds. Only English version names allowed !! If you get "B", for example, you can't choose Burungeru, because in English version it's name is Jellicent (so, "J"). With this 5 letters, participants can use up to 3 pokemon with the same letter, but with a restriction of using at least 3 different letters per match (like, I get "A", "B", "C", "D" and "E"; I can use 3x"A", 2x"C", 1x"D", but not 3x"D" and 3x"E").

    sorry about that. When I was writting the thread, instead of clicking "Preview" I've clicked "Submit Post", and then the forums went down, so I didn't have chance to fix it before =P

    Anyway, good luck everybody, and have fun! Also, good luck on making teams with these random letters =)

    VM'd latimaster. I was like "oh these letters suck" until I looked at all the pokemon I could choose from. <3. Singles team made. Doubles and tripples is going to be hard to make a functioning team for though...

    That's the challenge I wanted for the tournament =P

    Build a team with random letters, and for singles and doubles, even triples =)

    Hope you all have fun (and finish your matches before deadline) !! =]

    I just saw the deadline, and you might want to extend it a little bit. Each person has to make three teams, not to mention doubles and triples. Going with random letters that is going to take a bit, and then scheduling a time to battle on top of that.

    ... Seriously? What do you want to do with them? Waste your time reading? Like, sending the logs by PM is a waste of time and life, since they're too long for a single PM. Can't I just call my foe to confirm I won?

    I've already confirmed you won, and sending the logs was on the rules, already on the signups... But whatever, call your foe to confirm it then...

    My opponent has not been online since April 19th. Therefore he could not have seen my VM or this thread or this post.

    Just a note.
