Full Metal Competitive Pokemon Battle League

Round 1: Bobino 5-0 PX
Round 2: Bobino 4-0 PX

Wowowowow with TBM beating Skyler and Bob beating PX it's a tight race in the Red Division for a playoff birth. Not to add any pressure, but Nick 2/Jaro is going to be for quite a few marbles.

As for Nick 1, I'm on usually at nights, hit me up.

My team just wasnt equipped to fight fire at all. I regret not entering a 2nd team. My head wasnt in the game really. The disappointing bit is that we'd all make it out of the blue group

K, I'm inclined to believe Skyler here. You can play all the "friendlies" you want, but those first 3 battles count.

My ruling for Jaro/Skyler is not final, I'd like to hear more arguments from both sides.

I don't have any further arguments given your first comment and my scores are correct. I'm not afraid to admit defeat to Jaro's team that beat me 6-0, but in the first three battles we had to determine winner and loser, those scores are correct.

I'm too lazy to argue with you kids. Part of the reason I left FMW. And at the end of the day, who cares.

It's settled then, the above standings are final for all matches.

Also, I care, Jaro.

Round 1: Nick 2 d. Jaro 1-0
Round 2: Jaro d. Nick 2 4-0
Round 3: Jaro d. Nick 2 2-0

Nicholas One, I request your presence on AIM as well as Shoddy.

Slegna,

I moved and I dont have internet in my apartment. Im at a starbucks right now and I'll be here for a bit, and I'll be on, so let me know if/when you wanna play and hopefuly I'll be here. I plan on being here for a few hours so lemme know.

Well fuck. Any chance we can do something tonight or tomorrow? Afternoon and beyond that (my time) will work for me.

Nick, if you see this, anytime after 2 PM my time today will work, otherwise I'll have to take my first tie of the competition. Which will make me angry.

And you won't like me when I'm angry.

Triple post, so sue me.

Battle 1: Slegna def. Nick 1 6-0
Battle 2: Slegna def. Nick 1 1-0


And since this means all Week 7 battles are done (hooray!), I'll go ahead and post updated standings and the Week 8 schedule now.


So, as you can see, playoff spots are still up for grabs. An important thing to note is that all matches not played with Seth/Sam have been defaulted to a 12-0 DQ victory, due to Sam's lack of general around-ness the last few weeks. Moving on, as we near the playoffs, not all spots have been clinched. Possible playoff scenarios are as follows:

• In the Red Division, it's quite simple. The winner of Bobino vs. Skyler is in. The loser is out.
  
• The Red Division title is up for grabs as well. Both Jaro and Nick 2 are within reach, and are only separated by 7 points in the Pokemon Differential category. If a tie in points and Pkmn. Diff. happens, Jaro wins the tiebreaker due to him defeating Nick 2 in Week 7.
  
• In the Blue Division, Nick 1 has clinched a playoff spot due to his forfeit win over Sam (not reflected on posted standings).
  
• In order for Dylan to make the playoffs, he must either defeat Slegna or hope Ro and Leon don't play, forcing a tie.
  
• If Dylan loses or ties, the winner of Leon/Ro makes the playoffs.

Enjoy, there's still a a lot on the line. Even PX or TBM could play spoiler to Nick 2 or Jaro, respectively. Good luck, and may the force be with you.

Jaro, I've got Wednesday through to Friday off work, that'll probably be the best time for me to catch you mate.

Bob, I'm out at work today but am generally online quite a lot. Plus, not working next week, so just give me a time and I'll run with that.

I have either now, or sometime tomorrow, or friday Nick2

Game 1: Fucked up due to Shoddy being a fucker
Game 2: PX d. Nick 2 2-0
Game 3: PX d. Nick 2 3-0

Fuck those errors ruining game 1 though, srsly.

I was under the illusion that it was top 4 in the division, not top 3. Am I out regardless? Cuz thats awful lame.

• Playoffs
  • Playoffs will take the top three seeds from each division, making a total of six battlers in the playoffs.
    
  • The number one seeds from each division get a bye in the first round of the playoffs.
    
  • The 2nd seed from the Red Division will face the 3rd seed from the Blue division and vise versa in the first round.
    
  • Semifinal matchups will be determined when the first round is over.
    
  • Before playoffs start, battlers may replace one Pokemon on each team if they choose to do so.
    

It's been like that since the beginning, PX.

What Slegna is neglecting to say is that he put all the good Pokemon players with the exception of himself into one division and put all the crappy people - plus himself - in the other division. That way he is guaranteed to make it to the final game whereas a bunch of good players on the other division won't even get to do playoffs.

lolol

That's actually what he did.

The only guy who can legitimately challenge his throne is Bryson.

I didn't mean to.

However, I did have a difficult intradivision schedule, facing both Nick 2 and Jaro. Oh well, that'll be rectified in season 2. A random picker will still be used for divisions, but I'll be double checking to see if the divisions are at least somewhat competitive.

You definitely did, lol.

Even when you had the chance to put Skyler - who is clearly a competent player - in your division, you chose Sam - who clearly is mentally retarded - instead.

moar RNG plz

to be fair...

I was the one who used an RNG to create the divisions...

Actually, I re-picked the groups you originally gave me after a few more people had joined. In hindsight, it was probably a bad move on my part and will most definitely be fixed for next season.

Seriously though, if it's that much of an issue (I don't think it is, but whatevs), I can step down from the playoffs. I'd be chill with that, since I've already beaten Jaro and Nick 2, and really don't need the ego boost.

Game 1: Slegna d. Dylan 4-0
Game 2: Slegna d. Dylan 4-0

Saw that coming...

Eh, we were just kidding, Sleg.

We all know Jaro's gonna beat you anyway.

I wasn't kidding. Hand me the trophy now.

We do get an actual trophy, right?

This work for you, Jaro?

Jaro, how does Wednesday night work for you? I can probably make it online between about 10 and 2is EST (US)
