Dustin Newton 60 Posted September 23, 2016 if i were to be completely honest, this doesn't even feel like a tournament anymore. it's starting to feel like a battling league, similar to what a few youtubers do. it's dragged on a bit too long 1 Ajexmi reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dustin Newton 60 Posted September 23, 2016 we CAN do something about it, we stop calling it a tournament. it's not the people involved, it's the situation. A tournament somewhat implies competition for glory, when all we are really doing (or at least should be) is battling for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A tournament somewhat implies competition for glory, when all we are really doing (or at least should be) is battling for fun. Well we still have the group matches, once we finished them the "real" tournament will start. And of course we battle also for fun. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) 3,859 Posted September 23, 2016 Well man, I'm doing this for fun, if you're not I don't see why you're still here Anyways, I'm guessing you enjoy playing too, but the point is that Robbie has kept track of our wins and loses, so there still is something that decides if we're at the top or not.

Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) 3,859 Posted September 23, 2016 like a battling league. That's what I would call it tbh, but as far as I'm aware a league is a type of tournament, just without an elimination phase. In fact, I think we spoke about this some time ago, we wanted it to be more like a league so everyone had the chance to play for the same amount of time.

Trece the Xam ( ▀ ͜͞ʖ▀) 3,859 Posted September 23, 2016 pokemon leagues. why would i be talking about sports? What I meant is that when someone refers to a league that's the kind of structured league I think of Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robbie the Wise 5,050 Posted September 23, 2016 Does it really matter the semantics? This was discussed and agreed upon from the very beginning. Hell, I wanted a straight tournament from the beginning, but everyone agreed this was most convenient because of so many different timezones. I don't see what the point of complaining now. 1 2 quid is good reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2 quid is good 2,209 Posted September 23, 2016 What Robbie said. It's done and dusted and yes, it's gonna be long, but we're still just having fun. The real competition will be the final 4. Also, I may not be very good at playing pokemon, but I have a fair bit of experience with the official structure of it. The Pokemon leagues are local shops and clubs meeting up every week or so and battling, with a style similar to what we're doing I think. Then you have Premier challenges - these are relatively new, and I've never been to one - which are the "lowest' kind of tournament, attendance in these are pretty small, and they have the same structure as all regional, national and the world Championships. We were never gonna be able to best of three Swiss rounds and then have a top cut. Robbie didn't even suggest that I think. We're not even playing vgc doubles. So, either way, it would never have been a 'real' tournament Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
