PJT ‘14 — Sign-ups Opened for Stand-ins, Rules & More!

by

We opened sign-ups for our PokéJungle Tournament 2014 (or PJT ‘14, as we’re going to call it!) two days ago and within 24 hours all initial competitor slots were filled! We’re incredibly excited to see so many of you want to take part in our tournament and we can’t wait until we kick start off the first round.

Stand-in Sign-ups

It’s expected that a few of our competitors will have to drop out due to unforeseen circumstances, because of that we’re offering 10 more of our readers a chance to get in. The sign-ups below are for stand-in competitors, while it’s not guaranteed anyone who signs up for a stand-in position we’ll get to participate in the tournament, you’ll be our first port of call should we need more players. There will be 10 slots available for stand-in players, and should we require one of you to take part in the tournament we will randomly select names from the list to fill tournament slots.

Stand-in sign-ups should be completed using the form below, but please remember spaces are limited! Since closing sign-ups we’ve had two spots freed up, which means we’re actually offering the first two stand-on sign-ups the final two places in our tournament, so act fast!

Confirmed Competitors

Though everyone who signed-up to the tournament has been given a place, we thought it best to display a list of competitors who have successfully gained, that can be found below! If any of you wish to withdraw from the tournament we will be providing a withdrawal form nearer the start of the tournament. Of course, you can also contact us in any other way beforehand.

Tournament Rules

Perhaps most importantly for this post, we’ve decided to share the first revision of our Official Tournament Rules. For the most part these will be the final rules we use in the tournament, though we’re still making adjustments here and there to perfectly tailor them. If after reading them you no longer wish to partake, that’s absolutely fine and as we said above: let us know and we will withdraw you from the tournament.

The PokéJungle Summer 2014 Tournament will use a rule set that has been modified from the VGC ‘14 Season Official rules. All players taking part in the tournament are required to abide by all rules set out below. Anyone found breaking them will be disqualified immediately. As well as following these rules players are expected to conduct themselves with common courtesy before, during and after the battle period.

Players will be responsible for arranging when a battle will take place, although we will provide platforms for you to do so. After the battle both players must report the results of the battle. We ask that all players save their battles in their Vs. Recorder so that it can be used for confirmation of battle results if a dispute occurs.

Pokémon

When choosing Pokémon to take part in the PokéJungle Tournament, it’s important they all conform to our rules for entry, as seen below.

  • All Pokémon must be legitimately obtainable in Pokémon X & Y. We are allowing transferring of Pokémon from older games through Poké Transporter
  • The following Pokémon are banned: Mewtwo, Mew, Lugia, Ho-Oh, Celebi, Kyogre, Groudon, Rayquaza, Jirachi, Deoxys, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Phione, Manaphy, Darkrai, Shaymin, Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, Xerneas, Yveltal and Zygarde.
  • Species Clause: No two Pokémon can share the same Pokédex number
  • Two or more Pokémon cannot have the same nickname in a team
  • Pokémon cannot be nicknamed using the name of another Pokémon. (For example naming a Sewaddle “Snover”)
  • Pokémon able to Mega Evolve are allowed to do so
  • Any Pokémon used by players that are above Level 50 will be lowered to Level 50. Pokémon below Level 50 will remain as they are
  • Players will be required to use 6 Pokémon throughout the tournament. These Pokémon will remain the same through the entire tournament and cannot be changed.

General

  • All matches will be played in the Singles, 6 VS. 6 format
  • Item Clause: No two Pokémon can hold the same held item
  • Your Pokémon team must remain the same through the entirety of the tournament. No changes are allowed unless we state otherwise
  • A disconnection from the battle will result in an automatic forfeit

Again, please remember that these rules for the most part are final, though we are still making adjustments. If you have any questions regarding the rules, or think we’ve got something wrong, please let us know in the comments and we’ll do our best to see to it.

  10. Off topic, but on the not of SSB4 at E3. What charecters to you expect to get revealed? What do you want to see revealed?

  12. So, for whatever reason, I am banned in the chat.
    I don’t know whether or not it was a mistake, or something, but considering the fact that practically everyone’s there, I feel like I’m missing out on the fun.

    • I am able to type comments, but when I refresh the page, my comments are gone. Now I’m stuck here. Alone. And banned for no reason. 🙁

      • Your username is Dicieblablabla in the chat right? The only people we’ve banned in awhile is an anon. Check your browser settings.

        Reply

          • Nope to what? I swear I saw your name the other day in the chat. And when I say blablabla,I mean that I don’t remember what comes after Dicie.

          • Nope to anything coming after Dicie. Since my current Chatango username is DaDicie.

          • Who knows? it sounds like a problem with cookies/flash player(I don’t even know if it uses flash) stuff.What are using to visit the site?

          • Delete cookies? That’s all I can say.You’re not banned because I’m pretty sure it would say you were.

          • I just refreshed my page and the comments are yet again deleted. After I posted like 3 comments.

          • Just relogged into my Chatango account, said “Hello” in chat, refreshed my page and it’s deleted again. 🙁

          • Oh wow, dumbo me, I just realized that I too have a similar problem when I use the chat in chrome. Try IE or Firefox!

          • IE doesn’t work either.
            Maybe my IP is banned?
            Maybe someone posed as me in chat and you thought it was me. This is so frustrating.

          • Nah, DaDicie is not an account on the banned list. Unless you didd something as an anon, there’s nothing us(PJN) could have done. Either chatango banned you for doing something or something with your internet/browser. Or I guess if someone has the exact same IP as you do which I find highly unlikely.

          • Hmm. I do remember saying some bad words on the chat a few months back as an anon due to me having a bad day, and I think I got banned that way. : I’m an idiot.
            Don’t think there’s anything I can do about that.

          • Alright, hold on. I’m going to sift through to see if your IP matches one on the banned list. I have to do a battle first though.

          • Thank you very much, and I apologize for my behavior that time that led me to get banned. It won’t happen again. I also apologize for the fact that you had to waste an hour just to help me. You’re the best, thanks! 😀

          • I don’t think Chatango banned me, since I was able to create my own chat room, and talk on other chat rooms besides Pokejungle’s.

      • Hey, Chip? Can I be Lead of Team Flora, please? I’ve given up my position as Lead Scientist of Team Eda to SlipperySceptile, and Noivern asked me to ask you first.

        • um the main problem i have with it is that i really want to keep the amount of main character genders even (professor, gym leaders, e4, champion, and the head of each team)
          since earthen is a guy and he already has his spot as leader of team Eda; it would be up to you if you’re alright with being a girl…

          Reply

          • Perfectly fine with being a girl. Just give me somewhat manly qualities, lol. Not so much a “girly girl.”

          • then that’s where complications come in…
            because earthen is more of a manly man i was leaning towards making the team flora leader more dainty (to be the opposite of earthen)

          • This is not my day, is it?
            Fine. Go right ahead. Make me the annyoing girl that everyone hates, LOL. No, I’m just kidding. I’m fine with it.

  18. Wow. Just watched 6 hrs of dance, and 3 yesterday. All the same dance recital, played 1 as rehearsal and 2 actual shows. Also, a girl I had ‘problems’ with lats year was in it. A lot. Now that that somewhat venting is out of and the way, how is everyone?

  22. Oh guys xD There were groups of like, 5 year olds dancing xD And they were so adorable! 😀 Running around and bumping into each other and then walking on and offstage while dancing

  24. Can we all please try to stop asking if anyone is here, first you adding spam. Second, most of the time people are on chat. Third, if someone is here they would comment so try to say something else except is anyone here.
