Victory goes to doctorlit this time round. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-566472666 Congrats and good luck with the rest of the matches!
Yes, yes, I know I said signups were going to go until April first, but since I completely neglected to post something then, the deadline for signups has been extended to tomorrow.
The official rules doc and signup sheet can be found here.
Watch it here
The tournament is incapable of continuing until a victor is declared.
But this one does: http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-569245248 My best times are UK evenings, from... uh, 2pm to 5pm Board time, I think. Is that possible? I'm available at those times today through Thursday easily, if you're around. I was around from Board3 to around Board4.30, so yeah. Victory goes to doctorlit this time round. http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-566472666 Congrats and good luck with the rest of the matches! The Ninth's Riders take on the Oncoming Storme! Anyway, Scapegrace vs me is here, now: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7customgame-564628404 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-563737525 He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick. And it's our job to analyze their Pokemon and skills to find out who would win a Death Battle. We shall meet in a contest of both luck and skill. When are you able to meet me on the field of battle? After 6:00 PM Eastern Time during the week. I usually hang out in the writing room if I'm available. I'm normally in Writing when I'm on as well. I'm Ihavenoinsurance on Showdown. Come join us: http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7ou-563733759 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7ou-563733759 (Apparently, since you're free-riding through your first match.) Name a time that's good for you and I'll be only too happy to see how well your team'll work. =] 8pm, or maybe a bit after? I completely lost track of time. Tomorrow at Convenient O'Clock? ... in the Grand Final. =] It's the Oldbivician Era vs. the Ninth's Riders! I still have a small buttload of work to do for college (thanks, poor study habits), but I think I can carve out some time on Wednesday afternoon. Say, around 2:30? Does that work for you? ("Late" meaning "about 7:00 local time." For reference, I'm posting this message at 6:14 local.) I don't want to make you battle early in the morning, so how about 1 pm my time? Remember, the name I'm using is "LostGirl". I've got food prep this Sunday, anyway, so I won't be home until late morning my time. You're up against [EvilAI]UberOverlord instead. The PDF that I'm using to keep track of the bracket sometimes eats the names, so I have to redo the whole bracket from scratch and sometimes I miss updating a fight. Come join the show! http://play.pokemonshowdown.com/battle-gen7anythinggoes-562225571 http://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/gen7anythinggoes-562225571 Looks like it's you and me next. I'm free today whenever. Would you be free any time today? I'm availlable anywhere after 3:30. It looks like I'm not going anywhere today. I'm free. Replay can be seen here. Do you accept? And when do you want to battle? And here's the replay. But, uh... I have a really erratic work schedule, so we might have to wait until next Sunday? I should be available most evenings my time... though you'd be asleep then... Could possibly do a little earlier tomorrow morning? So I could probably do around 2am Boardtime/7am my time tomorrow. Assuming we're not off to film an event, I usually get home from work at about 5:30 Board time, which I believe is 10:30 for you. ... anything from Board!3pm to Board!6pm tonight. Potentially a little later, but much after 11 is pushing it. I'm free whenever you are! To my mind, I won because I correctly predicted that Ix would use the same starter as last time, and used the 'free move' to set up my Minior. And then got lucky enough that Minior did just enough damage to Azumarill. *patiently waits for EvilAI vs. SquidBoi* Usually any day after 7:30 PM and before 11:30 PM Eastern Time works for me. However, since I have a small buttload of homework to deal with this week, the fight will have to be on Saturday if that works for you. Also, the name I'll be using on Showdown is "LostGirl," since it doesn't like "eatpraylove" and I still don't know how to get an actual membership on that site. I'll be available largely anytime after 12:00 Eastern Time Results here. Do we have to use Pokemon Showdown? I have my team there, but I just figured I'd ask. In retrospect I probably should have asked this a long time ago, hahaha... You can find it in the rules document that's linked in the parent post. We've got a small tournament this year, so hopefully it'll go by quickly. You are hereby challenged to a duel between our good selves, as proxied by half a dozen captive animals whom will beat each other up with fire and lasers for our collective amusement. =] Does that mean Scape and Hardric get a free pass then? Hardric I issue you a challenge. I'm free most of the weekend and then for the next two weeks as it is Easter Holidays for me. I'll post the starting bracket later tonight! Keep an eye out. :) Just going to say that Zoroark is my 7th Pokemon. Tyranitar Hiya! Can't wait to battle you (also I don't think I've ever met you before so nice to meet you by the way)! Would you mind waiting until Monday or Tuesday afternoon for our match? I have some school stuff to take care of that's kind of got my schedule for the weekend backed up (and I still need to get my 'mons to level 100, ehehe...). Provided after 6:00 (18:00) EST I'm now available and I'll probably be on for at least a bit. Otherwise tomorrow night would be better. Tomorrow sounds good! Same time? Or I can wait until tomorrow, probably make it 7:30 Eastern Time just in case I am delayed in getting home. Just need your username so I can find you I got decked I got it here though

If you need to check the Board time, why not make an interesting and insightful post somewhere else on the front page? It both gets you the information you need and moves the discussion along! ^_^
hS
Great fight, Nova! =]
Roboteers are ready!
It was a close match. EAI deserved the win. :)
Iximaz is now eliminated from the tournament!
I've no idea why I'm using such weird wording either...
Thank you EvilAI for such a brilliant game. At the start I honestly thought you had it, even if it didn't turn out that way. gg wp.
I have no time in mind, but I really wanted to use the mitten-casting line. ^_^
hS
hS
and my team probably in bits
Great fight, hS! =]
And I'm only off Sunday and Monday. >_> Sorry. Any way you can work with those times?
—doctorlit respects that school is a full time job
—doctorlit gets to artificially hang on a bit longer
This is what I get for having a team full of sweepers, I guess.
Keep it safe, SquidBoi, and do your best not to win it again next year.

These are the four Sunflower Cups. The Pewter cup goes to the first person to be eliminated from the games by losing a match (ie, they can't earn it by forfeiting). Gold, silver, and bronze are hopefully obvious.

Uh, you up for a battle now before I go to bed? ^^;
hS
hS
Though it looks like I might not get called in today, so I could possibly do it earlier...
-Iximaz really needs to get a normal person schedule
hS
Which means that I'm now rooting for Scapegrace and Khryssty to have a niiiiice long battle and helpfully show me everything in their arsenals. But I have my doubts that they'll be so accomodating. ^_^
Good game, Iximaz.
hS
Remember, you have a week to respond to your opponent's challenge. If you do not respond/make an attempt to set up a battle, you will be considered a forfeit and subsequently removed from the lineup.
doctorlit, I'm available pretty much whenever (unless I recover from being sick soon, and in that case, I'm free on Sunday).
Good luck and have fun!
Excadrill
Scolipede
Garchomp
Lucario
Scizor
And Starmie as a sub.
It was a really fun battle, Uber!
