    As there were some interest for a monotype tournament I decided to make the test tournament just that. This is the sign up thread in which people can sign up to join the tournament until 23:59 GMT Sunday 18. July. The first round starts from when I manage to post the tournament thread the following monday. Here's for hoping it will be an enjoyable event!

    Rules:
    • This is an OU tournament meaning no Ubers. Any use of Ubers will mean an instant loss. The tiering which is used is found at http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/ courtesy of smogon.com.
    • Each round lasts exactly one week. Keep this in mind when signing up for the tournament. Extensions will be considered in certain situations. Matches not finished with both players inactive will be decided by a coin flip.
    • All players have to send in their logs after a match. This is to minimize cheating, while being a certain way for me as the host to be sure about the results. Any tempering with the logs will only result in yoy getting banned from all other tournaments in the future. All logs should be sent to me by PM.
    • All players have to send their teams in before the match. This should be easy, just use the export button on the team building screen. All teams should be sent in to me by PM. If you have not sent me the team before I get yours or your opponents log and you win I might have to force a rematch.
    • Your team should have 5 pokemon of the same type. It would make it easier if you listed what type your team is when sending it in though it is not necessary.
    • You are allowed the use of one wildcard, meaning one pokemon which is not of the type your monoteam is based around. This is allowed so you can easier fix up some weaknesses and glue your team together. This rule may be changed in future rounds depending on what is in the interest of the participants. Any use of more than one wild card will result in an instant loss. Battles does not get played over again with your correct team. Under certain circumstances your opponent can go good for you and allow it to be replayed, however he/she does not have to as stated by the rules.
      A wild card will be allowed in the first round, but the first round only! From there on and out all your pokémon have to be of the same type.
    • You are allowed to switch teams/fix your team inbetween rounds, however you will have to send your team in again after changes. If your team is exactly the same as the one used last round you do not need to send it in again.
    • All battles shall be played on Beta Server at the Pokemon Online client unless both players agree to play on another server/client. If there is any disagreement follow the rule as stated.
    • Battle Rules:
      - Evasion Clause
      - Sleep Clause
      - Freeze Clause
      - OHKO Clause
      - Species Clause

    Participants:
    Whoever can join, as many as possible. This is a test tournament to see how things work out, and the more the better and easier it is for me to find faults in the system and find out my own limits.
    Future tournaments will have a limited number of participants however. To join just post in this thread with in, joined, I'm gonna win this shit, you are all going down etc. Basically only post if you are interested in joining or have a question.

    I garuntee I'm going to forget this.

    Anyway, I wish to sign up. I'll PM you my team tomorrow.
    Just a quick question: can more than one player have the same type of team, or does everyone need a unique one?

    Good question. In theory all players can have the same type of team though I hope there will be a little more variety. I just realized I should not jin the tournament considering I will see all your teams, so even though I want to I will have to strictly be a host.

    I propose that we take out the one wildcard, i rarely see people on PO use it. This does not mean that people dont use it, just that i dont see people using it(for anyone who tries to correct me.)

    This isn't mono-type. Mono means "one".

    I'm joining ^^

    What happens if a player is disconnected when battling? I think he can be DQed, but it's not fair if he is winning and then disconnected though =\

    Sure, unless there is people opposing this there will be no wildcard from the first round and out.

    EDIT: Nevemind that, there has already been sent in teams which contain wildcards, however from the second round and out there will be no more wild cards and this will be stated in the OP of the second round.

    You don't say. Anyway, point taken though running wildcards are fairly common just to balance out the types and teams a bit. By the way you are now signed up for the tournament just so you are notified in case it was not your intention to join.

    Good of you to bring it up, this is a problem in most situations for people with shaky internet. If I am not mistaken the no timeout clause means you can reconnect (can someone verify this?) so if you can speak to your opponent about your problem I am certain they will allow you to leave that on. If there is no such clause then you can speak with your opponent before the match regarding your situation and if he is understanding he can decide to have a rematch if you should happen to disconnect. However a disconnect is regarded as a resignation anf the opponent can take the victory regardless of reason for the disconnect.

    I'd like to join, if that's possible

    I do have a few questions though, which are going to make me sound such a noob:

    How do I record my battle log? I've been here for almost a year now, but I still haven't learnt how.

    Are we, or are we not, allowed to use a Wildcard? (I noticed there was some speciulation in the signups)

    Can absolutely any type be used? Are there any limitations?

    This is probably the most stupid one, but when is the tournament going to be? I didn't notice a time specified.

    Thanks for doing this!

    You can record your battle logs by hitting "Battle Options" on the same row as "File", "Style" etc. and then hitting save battle logs. Your battle logs will be saved in your logs map in the Pokemon Online folder on your computer. I just recently learned this as well and I do not believe all that many knows ;)
    You can also press the "Save log" checkbox in a game which will only save that log and not all of your battle logs.

    Alright I have come to the decision that wild cards will be allowed in the first round only. I have already gotten some teams from quick users containing wild cards and I have been pretty blurry on the matter. However I will not allow wildcards from round two and I will make certain everyone knows by then. Thanks for bringing up the matter so I could settle it once and for all and I am going to edit the OP with this decision.

    Any type can be used, there is no restriction on main type for the team or the wild card as long as there is no Ubers on your team.

    Also I have edited the OP with the time, it is as Luck>Skill says and it depends when I wake up that morning what exact time it is going to start.

    Also doing this is quite enjoyable, I am really looking forward to it! But thanks for the thanks ;)

    I'd like to Participate, because hey why not - but i'm a bit unsure of the actual definition of Mono-Type.

    Does it mean your pokemon have to be of all the same single type, i.e "All Can be Ground, but only Ground and nothing else", or does it just mean that your pokemon all need to have one type in common?

    Your last definition is correct, meaning as long as all your pokemon (excluding wild cards) have the same type in whichever of the type slots (it can be both the type 1 or type 2 slots) your team is considered a monotype.

    Example:
    Lanturn is both Water/Electric which means in a team of 5 other waters it's part of a mono water team, and in a team with 5 other electrics it's part of and mono electric team.

    EDIT: Haha quick Denizen

    Ah, okay.

    Only problem I can see with this Tourney is the inevitable use of Scizor, Jirachi, Skarmory, Heatran and Metagross to form Steel teams, but eh, maybe I can prepare for that :I

    I'd prefer no Wildcards at all, but I'm still joining. No point in a monotype tourney if the master is not in. :P:P:P

    Each round lasts exactly one week.

    The OP states this.

    I don't wish to join, btw. Just simply answering.
