JUNE EVENT SIGNUPS: THE PRELYMPICS

[The Crash Man Ω]

Well, actually, my group of shadowy staff consultants and I have been working things out. We're still debating the pure nitty-gritty of it, but rest assured there is a lot going on behind the scenes here.

As for battles, I suppose you and your battle partner could discuss what kind of battle you want beforehand. I don't want to pidgeonhole anybody in an event that's supposed to be more relaxed and easygoing.

Also, UPDATE ON ROSTER SLOTS OPEN.

You people work so fast! I can barely keep up!

The Contest has 13 slots filled of 16, so only 3 remain. The battle tournament has 15, a tiny 1 slot remaining.

Pokeathlon? It kinda has 18 signups xD

I think I'm going to end up having to shutdown signups after the last 4 slots are filled to prevent this topic from exploding any further. Congrats, PRE, you've overwhelmed June's massive 48 event signup slots in just a single day! And thank you all for being so enthusiastic!

You mean...Tika was the 17th one to sign up?

Nooooooooo, that means she can't be in it and show how hyper she is. D:

(Srsly though, how come the first post isn't updated with who's in?)

[hatti]

Shauntal is joining the contest!~ BECAUSE GHOSTS ARE SO PRETTY, EVERYONE LOVES GHOSTS

[The Crash Man Ω]

Alright, signups are 100% up to date. Only 3 slots left!

Also, as of recent staff consultations, a consistent set of rules not formed by my half-asleep opinions are coming soon! Expect to see them once registrations close tomorrow!

Question can the Pokeathlon go to 32 entries...? I'm sure we could probably find enough members willing to enter to get there and well, I want to enter... xP

Fennel for the Pokemon Contest
Black on the waiting list for the Pokeathlon

[kirblob]

uhhh i think i entered diamond for the battle tournament, not the contest ;; sorry for the misunderstanding!

[katya]

Tournament and Pokeathlon sign-ups are full. You are welcome (read: encouraged!!) to join a waiting/replacement list.

Two spots available for the pokemon contest.

PUT CERSEI ON POKEATHLON WAITING LIST.

AND THEN PUT XANDER ON WAITING LIST FOR TOURNEY.

Alright, its time for . . . TENTATIVE BRACKET CHOICES!
All rounds last 2 weeks and have no upper limits of posts, giving members the ability to make as much posts as they can in the amount of time given. Please try to post more than once or twice each in this timeframe or you'll make the staffers cry. This time limit exists so we can finish this thing by the summer and we aren't having Summer Olympics in January. That'd be silly.


Battles will be in traditional format, but unlike war events a LOT less bloody. League-standard 1 vs 1 battles are the norm here, and registered teams of 6 are to be PMed to the staff to make sure everything is fair. In these PMs please highlight who you're starting with, so we can skip pleasantries and sending Pokemon out and cut right to the action. Here are the tentative battle brackets!

(5) Proton vs. (12) Lance
(6) Platinum vs. (15) Lily
(1) Thorton vs. (3) Dahlia
(14) Gold vs. (16) Diamond
(13) Aris vs. (2) Xander
(9) Mitch vs. (11) Wes
(8) Archer vs. (10) Agatha
(4) Casey vs. (7) Alyssa

Waitlisters: Barnaby

The Pokeathlon is teams of three Pokemon each, with four trainers competing for dominance. Only three Pokemon need to be PMed to the staff for registry here. 9 of the 10 Heartgld/Soulsilver events will occur over the tournament season, so keep your eyes peeled!

(13) Surge vs. (4) Wolf vs. (5) Bryon vs. (15) Tika
(2) Cersei vs. (7) Thanatos vs. (9) Elliot vs. (10) Navitas
(8) Argenta vs. (16) Stellar vs. (6) Kirby vs. (3) Giovanni
(12) Archie vs. (11) Marshal vs. (1) Lyra vs. (14) Hayato

Waitlisters: Black, Matsuo, Nicola

Finally, the contests begin with appeal rounds of 7 competitors each. If we shoved all 14 into one bracket it'd be a total mess, and if we put in less there'd be almost nothing happening in the threads. Do whatever you can to make your Pokemon shine like the stars they are, and feel free to mess with anyone in your way! Teams of 4 are to be registered for this event.

Bracket 1: (8) Calliope, (7) Kasper, (12) Paige, (4) Mir, (13) Shauntal, (1) Wally, (6) Rui, (14) Fennel

Bracket 2: (3) Angel, (18) Halinor, (11) Ruby, (5) Courtney, (10) Blaine, (9) Erin, (15) Darach, (17) Red's Mom

Waitlisters: Bean


Waitlisters still signing up are both accepted and encouraged, as are people filling in our incomplete Contest bracket. A PRElympics subforum will be up shortly for all IC, side-neutral affairs! Expect the lighting of the torch to herald the official start of the games this . . .

SUNDAY, SUNDAY, SUNDAY!

[haribo2]

Alrighty, if I still can, I'd like to sign up Darach for one of the Contest places.

[The Crash Man Ω]

Just to bump this list and remind everybody, I'll be keeping running tally of who's teams I have so far!

Battle: Mitch, Agatha, Aris, Platinum, Thorton, Alyssa, Proton, Xander, Gold, Archer, Diamond, Wes, Casey, Lance, Lily, Dahlia

Contest: Erin, Calliope, Blaine, Paige, Mir, Wally, Darach, Courtney, Kasper, Rui, Shauntal, Ruby, Momma Red, Halinor, Angel

Pokeathlon: Elliot, Navitas, Tika, Giovanni, Kirby, Bryon, Argenta, Thanatos, Surge, Marshal, Wolf, Lyra, Hayato, Stellar, Archie, Cersei

Registration Totals: 47/48

Bebop's 3 and Fennel are missing, and we're starting tonight. They've had ample time AND a PM warning, so they're being kicked down to replacement status.

[redmom]

guess who's coming out of retirement for the contest?

[henri3]

Mind if Halinor pinches the last contest spot?

[The Crash Man Ω]

Not at all! And thanks to you two, everything's filled up! Hooray for PRE!
