Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I'm only lucky that Latias managed to force a tie.Jolteon lost big time to Quagsire IIRC and Lugia lost by 2. But then again, let's see who made it onto round 5.HoundoomFroslassWhimsicottQuagsireQuilavaNinetales-ADragoniteEmpoleonVulpix-AAmpharosMetagrossLatiasTyphlosionPhanpyPorygon-ZFurretBreloom(Welp, Latias is the only legendary left; Metagross/Dragonite are pseudos. Rest of them still vary from being in relatively good standing in Smogon, or stuff in PU [which a couple of them are]) At least some Alola mons made it in, but those were regional forms. (Also evo families in here, so whether/not they end up fighting each other next round remains to be seen by the RNG). Round 5 is a hell of a lot less congested than L4 is [94 mons in there, as opposed to 17 in regulation]. With that being, Round 4 should end up with 32 next round at minimum [just pray that the tied matches are kept down, because a few of them did end up with everyone going on.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted October 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2017 First half of the L4 bracket is up; hopefully the ties are cut down a bit here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted November 4, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Next batch of L4 matches are up.With that said, vote as usual. Part about abstention is self-explanatory; if you don't plan on voting, then please don't spam the thread. (You can notify me if I didn't set the thing to public and/or multiple voting). I should've done the former; latter might've been missed, but I think all of them should be fine. =====Will need to speed up the regulation bracket too.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 No, I didn't forget this tournament existed, but like I mentioned, I do have a life outside YCM and other things came up. But yeah, round 5 is up. Luckily, there is only one 3P match in this bracket. =====Going to try pushing the rounds back to back with as minimal delay (now that I'm done with finals for Fall 2017, yay). So...let's hope this can finish before the end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted December 17, 2017 Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 So...let's hope this can finish before the end of the year.With only 14 days of 2017 to go and 3 rounds of regulation to go after this (not including loser bracket), I doubt this'll finish before the end of the year tbph.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2017 Ideally, I'd like to run Round 6 and L5 concurrently, but yeah. Chances are that it will leak over into 2018, and there's a high chance that it will. I would've liked to have finished this already, but stuff happens. Had this been done before US/UM released, things might've ended up different opinion-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted December 19, 2017 Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 That wasn’t a bad batch, only lost the one nom (presumably to a last minute voter as they were tied last I checked) but since it was against my other nom it’s all good.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2017 The same could be said for a few other matches in terms of last minute voters, but yeah, I suppose this makes round 6 a lot cleaner. At least Latias is still in it, so...keep my remaining nomination alive for the regulation matches. (In terms of the L bracket, I have a handful of them left, so...) As for the Johto matches, yeah, I had half a mind to end them early because you saw how lopsided the matches were. Outside of those two, everything else was generally close.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 21, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2017 The L5 brackets are up. Hopefully if everything goes smoothly, it drops to 16 at the end (or at least something closer to this boundary); in an ideal world, we have 32 in a 4P thing, but...there were ties. Also yeah, don't worry if your vote causes a tied match. ====Will likely have the R6 bracket up later in the day or tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Apparently I forgot about the L brackets from last week (busy 'n junk I believe), but nevertheless it was a bloodbath as out of my nominations in said bracket, only Umbreon advanced. (even if I did vote, the results would've been the same) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 To be fair, I still have to get on with posting the round 6 brackets. But if it's any consolation for me, the L bracket did shrink considerably so shouldn't be having any more 5-6P matches for a while. With yours, yeah, I am surprised you didn't vote because normally you do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~British Soul~ Posted December 30, 2017 Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Like I said I was busy as was working all of last week to be fair, and perhaps if I had gotten a PM rather than a message on my profile I might've voted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Fair enough. But yeah, forget about finishing this tournament by tomorrow, so...it'll overlap a bit into 2018. IIRC round 6 should be dropped to top 8 now or something, so it shouldn't be that hard to post them.

To be fair the tourney might've been done by now if there weren't as many hiatuses/L Bracket, but yeah we're at the business end anyway so it'll only be like mid-Jan when the tourney ends.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted December 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2017 Well, blame my coursework / other stuff here (and various other delays that pushed stuff back). Nothing I could do about it. Once GPT 9 goes up [after you do the tournament of champions stuff], if we do have the double elimination thing, tournament bracket will be much smaller. Or actually save it until later when bracket is smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Well, it's already February 2018 and tournament still hasn't completed. So yeah, let's go finish up stuff. Round 6 is up, and after it finishes up, we can get going with the L-bracket. Luckily things are much easier to work with now, so I think we can give them same treatment as the regular fights with images. ====Please do not spam in the match threads.==== L-bracket competitors (to be modified when R6 wraps up) CradilyArcanineVolcaronaDarkraiWhimsicottWooperAraquanidTyphlosionGoomyGrovyleLucarioMawileLeafeonPorygon-ZUmbreonKeldeoLilligantGlaceonEspeon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our cases, shouldn't change how we already do things in terms of voting and stuff. Most of it is just don't shortpost in the match threads, which is already internally enforced. But yeah, least you got to it before things end in 5 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2018 Out of fairness, no one's broken the short post rule except for that one user back in round 1 who posted a macho man pic and compared it to Toucannon. That was long ago, and was addressed. But in all seriousness, the quarterfinals finished; you got both your noms in for the semis and I got Latias still going. Question for you is whether stuff ends up colliding next round. Given we're going down to 2 matches, chances of the RNG being a jackass and pitting them both against each other is at least 40%, given one match will be a 3-way. However, we'll get to that after the LL6 bracket.CradilyArcanineVolcaronaDarkraiWhimsicottWooperAraquanidTyphlosionGoomyGrovyleLucarioMawileLeafeonPorygon-ZUmbreonKeldeoLilligantGlaceonEspeonBreloomHoundoomVulpix-A (Uh yeah, I retract what I said about Ninetales-A being in the bracket in 6-3; it got eliminated earlier) But we have half the Eeveelutions in this bracket, so... =====I'll have the matches up tomorrow or Thursday.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2018 Well, let's get through LL6 first, which is now up at the time of writing. Right, and if there is a tie for the winner of the loser bracket at the end, whoever won just goes to the final to fight whoever won the regulation bracket. Again, do not worry if your vote causes a draw. But we'll address that when we get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted February 13, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 Round L6 is finished up; second half of the matches had ties.EspeonAraquanidHoundoomLucarioLilligantTyphlosionGlaceonVolcaronaPorygon-ZVulpix-ADarkraiGoomyAt max, 14 'mons will be in L7, depending on how R7 turns out. Will likely be 6-7 'mon matches to be uniform with the regular stuff, but we'll see how it works out. 2 at minimum move on to final in R74 at minimum for L7, then L8 to decide who gets into the championship.

Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted April 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 No, I didn't forget about the tournament (and yes, this has been going for 1 year), but yeah, things happened and whatnot. Matches 7-1 and 7-2 are up, so you got the next 48 hours to vote. Just as a sidenote, this is what the RNG willed; I made a screenshot in case it's needed due to things. ====Whoever wins get a free round, as L7 (and I think L8) is dealt with to determine who faces them in the final to close up the tournament.
