This is how its usually run so I'll explain:

Basically after all 16 people check in, I'll shuffle the seeds on battlefly and from there announce that everyone's placement has been shuffled. You can check the battlefly link to see who will you'll be battling (everyone info is there) immediately get in contact with them on both VGC 2015 Forum and on Showdown. I'll ask everyone to go to the VGC Lobby so everyone can find each other easily by scrolling through to see who's online. Once you see the person's account, please confirm that its them and initiate the battles. Basically you should be saving your battle replays if there's a dispute I need to confirm/see what the dispute is about so have battle replays on hand. Its basically up to the battlers to report who won so that I can change it on the account, though anyone can report scores.

If you are saving battle codes, just copy-and-paste the link after you click the "share replay" button and save it somewhere to keep track of like on Word or Notepad. Please refrain from posting codes unless I say so to call up a dispute. Once you have either won/lose your round, please report it on battlefly or to me on either Showdown (name John Apricorn) or on Twitch in the VGC 2015 Forum chat.
