Spring Break VGC Forum Tourney (3/22/2015) {over}
Hey everyone I messed up. The countdown timer I had originally specified is off by like 7 hours and I have made a new countdown timer. Likewise I did not change the schedule of the VGC forum tournament and everything else should follow as usual. Use this time (and before to get your team of six Pokemon ready and must comply to the VGC rules, otherwise I will be forced to drop anyone. Again the countdown itself depicts the start of "Check in", which last for about an hour (10:00 Am -11:00 Am [GMT: -8] ) while the actual tourney will begin shortly afterward. Please remember the rules of the tourney which will follow standard 2015 VGC rules. The tourney itself will have 5 round of Swiss and will last for about 25 minutes each round. Top Cut itself will consist of four of the best players and will face each other in a best of three formatted battle. The 3rd place match isn't necessary, both rather "spirited" so it can be either a Bo1 or Bo3 depending on the runner-ups liking.
EDITS: Because I know I'll forget something. Link to the new timer
Again like what Podfighterninja said, go the VGC2015Forum chat room on Twitch and make sure you have both a Twitch account and a Forum account here! I have updated the Battlfly page as well but its has the same information as before.
Important Update: Since we have 12 people registered, here's plan a contingency plan for the tourney. To be honest, if only like [b]8 [b\] people show up to battle I'll just host a Bo3 format single elimination and the that will be all for today. Reasoning for this is there might be people who might forget and there's a possibility we won't have necessary amount of players to continue. Besides, Swiss rounds will take up the majority of the tourney as well and it be pointless to have this particular format without maybe at least 10 participates If there's only 9 then I'll join as well to makeup for the number.
For that matter, I have decided to cut one round of Swiss, making it total at about 4 just to save time. Hopefully we can have top cut start about an hour and a half right after the tournaments begins. Top cut will only consist of four people unless a total of 16 people join the tourney, which then I'll extend it for 8 participates. I'll make a schedule of the tourney just to keep track of time.
