PJT ’14 – Round Dates & Round 1 Match-Ups

by

A little over two weeks ago we delivered the latest updates on the progression we’re making on the PokéJungle tournament, now it’s time for the next! A little later than we hoped to bring it to you due to some issues behind-the-scenes; better late than never though, right?

PJT ’14 Round Dates

As previously announced, our tournament will run on a Swiss, round-based format. Each play will accumulate point across 5 rounds, with no eliminations until after the fifth round is completed. After the fifth round points will be totalled and the 8 best players will proceed to three elimination rounds until a champion is found. Should there be a tie for places in the final 8 we will ask those with matching point scores to partake in a tie-breaker battle. Our first Champion will be named by the end of August.

Round 1 – July 18  — July 22
Round 2 – July 23 — July 27
Round 3 – July 28 — August 1
Round 4 – August 2 — August 6
Round 5 – August 7 — August 11

Final Elimination Rounds – August 13 onwards

As mentioned previously we have decided on these dates to provide the best timing for our readers and competitors over summer. Should you become unavailable during one of these rounds or unable to complete your battle in time, we will attempt to provide an extension for you to complete it; sadly we can’t shift the entire tournament for one individual, so it’s likely inability to battle will have to result in a forfeit!

Round 1 Match-Ups

In the first round of the tournament match-ups will be completely random, decided by a random name generator. After Round 1 players will be paired with others of a similar ‘skill’ (determined by the number of points you have accumulated). Below are the current match-ups for the first round of the tournament, these are subject to change should people back out.

The match-ups for Round 1 of the tournament can be found below, these are subject to change without notice in advance of the tournament starting; regardless of whether changes occur or not we will provide the match-ups again nearer the tournament starting.

Red text means this player is likely to back out.

[/spoiler]

Nearer to the tournament starting we’ll be asking all competitors to confirm they can take part across the 5 initial rounds, and calling in reserves to fill the slots of those who are unable to compete. Once the tournament commences articles will provided only for those taking part in battles to arrange battles and declare the results of each battle, we will detail these plans further once Round 1 commences.

As a final note we ask all of our readers to take this opportunity to ask us any question your have about the tournament, or anything related to it. Who knows, you might be able to squeeze some top-secret information out of us before we announce it proper!

  2. What do you guys think the Gen 7 legends theme will be? So far we had:

    1st Gen – Genetics
    2nd Gen – Purity
    3rd Gen – Weather/Land – Sea – Sky
    4th Gen – Time, Space and Antimatter
    5th Gen – Yin & Yang
    6th Gen – Life, Death and Balance/Order

    I think it’ll be cool if we had Reality & Fantasy 0_0

  5. If certain models & animations get updated in ORAS, then I hope they make Cyndaquil’s flame stay permanent. I miss it. Totodile was always my Gen 2 starter but Cyndaquil lost its flame… literally.

  8. Heyyyyyy guys.

    • It’s okay. I support all. 😀 You will do fine 😀
      and hope you have fun with MK8 xD
      I’m having fun with Blue Rescue Team (I’m replaying all my PMD games for fun)

      Reply

      • I hope so.
        I think I’ll take the shiny route:
        Dedenne, Delphox, CoFAGrigus (LOL), Psyduck, Heliolisk, and hopefully I find another usable shiny.

        Reply

        • 😀 Shinies galore 😀
          Delphox, yeeeaaahhhh and lol at CoFAGrigus xD
          Hmmmm, maybe a grass? Or a fairy? 😀 Or Ice?

          Reply

          • I was like that too, I’m like, ‘Really? It is a flower fairy. MAKE ZE GRASS PLEASE!?!?!’
            Ohs wells D:
            Hmmm Froslass? 😀 No, hmm…Glaceon 😀
            I dunno anymore xD

        • The least you can do is have a nice team 😛 Just because you’re up against TC doesn’t mean he’ll win. Have some confidence in yourself 😀 Even if you do lose to TC, you still have a chance thanks to the Swiss style of the tourney 🙂

          Reply

          • Okay then 😀
            Thanks for the inspiration 😀
            I’m not that much of a competitive battler, so I’m bad at team building. Can you help me? 😀

          • Maybe 😛

            You need a Rapid Spinner (Excadrill or Mega Blastoise are pretty good), 2 special walls, and 2 defense walls. Try not to get a team that share a common weakness. Try not to use a Blastoise and a Mega Charizard Y on the same team for example. Also try going for Immunities such as a Water/Ground-type with a Sap Sipper Pokemon.

  9. And I saw that previous article just now. DELTA EMERALD!? I hope they were planning to surprise us with it at E3 or something. It sounds just too awesome! I would get all 3 XD

    Reply

      • Maybe it’s my mild OCD that likes to have things complete? I always want to get all the games to complete the set XD

        Reply

        • I get all the games for more of the fun xD
          And I get to experience it differently with different teams, so it’s worth it for me 😀

          Reply

          • Me too! I want to use as many different Pokemon in the region so I make different teams with different Pokemon and different types 😀 It’s fun! In Black I got to use a Jellicent because of it and it’s actually pretty good :p

          • yeah! I remember in my replay of Soulsilver, I used a Zubat for the first time, and I loved my Crobat. I grew to appreciate it so much! 😀
            It inspired me to make different teams with unlikely Pokemon, because I’ll never know what I will like 😀

  13. Alright screw laying on the couch resting my eyes
    There’s people being better than me and i’m putting an end to it!!!!
