PJT ’14 – Tournament Format Update & Participant Confirmation

by

Don’t forget to check out our Corocoro updates here and here!

Much, much later than we wished to, we’re bringing our readers the penultimate update on the 2014 PokéJungle Tournament before the first battles commence. We’ve decided to make some changes to the format of the tournament to help with how it’ll run when we begin later this month.

PJT ’14 Format Changes

At the end of May we announced that our tournament would run over five rounds, with players earning points in each round and the top 8 players after all rounds proceeding to three elimination rounds, this has now changed.

The changes we’ve made have been done so to remove the pressure of having to be available for the entire period of the tournament. Players will now be placed into groups, in these groups every player will battle one another once. When all battles have been completed (and tie-breakers completed if necessary) the top player from each group will move forward into the elimination rounds.

Players will need to confirm participation below so we can finalise groups and group balancing before the start date of the tournament. Group stage battles will take place over the same dates as the Rounds were previously planned to take place, with a maximum of three groups battling at any time. All match-ups posted before now are to be ignored.

As it stands any drop outs will no longer be filled by stand-ins, until we announce otherwise.

We have also decided to push the tournament start date back. This is to allow participants time to confirm their entry (see below) and for us to finalise players in each group.

Lavender, Camphrier & Driftveil Group Battles – July 23 — July 27
 Canalave, Sunyshore & Cinnabar  Group Battles – July 28 — August 1
Ecruteak, Fallarbor & Lumiose Group Battles – August 2 — August 6
Goldenrod, Undella. & Rustboro Group Battles – August 7 — August 11

Final Elimination Rounds – August 13 onwards.

Participant Entry Confirmation

It has been a while since we first opened sign-ups to the tournament, and it’s likely some of those who signed-up are now unable to take part, or simply do not wish to. As such we’ve decided that participants must now confirm their entry using the form below by July 17. Those who do not do so will be removed from the tournament and unable to participate. If you have changed your username since this list was created please inform us and we will change it accordingly.

[spoiler][/spoiler]

Full Group listings and participant assignments will be made available in our final pre-tournament update by July 18 at the latest. The sooner participants fill out the above form the sooner we can announce final groups and match-ups!

  1. Herro guys! I’m getting ready to head to Universal Studios again for a hopeful -7 hour wait for the Gringotts ride. I reeeaaaaaaly hope I can get on the ride in about less than 2 hours. 🙂
    Wasn’t here to officially express my opinions on the leaks, but I think they’re awesome. I posted a mini-review on Mega Metagross a few days prior, but not the most current leaks. Pokemon costumes is definitely awesome, did Birch lose weight (…?) and more Mega/Contest news next month sounds fantastic.
    Earlier I took a visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and came away with two pins to add to my collection, as well as Magic Bands for all of my family members (the opposite of using your entrance card.)
    I, again, apologize for these irrelevant posts, but it seems unkind of me to leave you guys without updates now and then. I can stop posting these if you wish, but I like doing so. After all, you guys are my 2nd family. :)))))
    See ya guys soon! 😀 😀 😀

  2. One of my fondest memories of Pokemon is getting stuck on how to get to the final city in Sinnoh, Pearl version because I was new to the game and had no idea what I was doing. Then I messed around Mt. Coronet and found the way to Palkia, and caught it. I was like, “Holy crap I caught a legendary.”

  6. Back in Emerald where I cloned my Master Ball 6 times so I could catch all the legends with desired nature…and not go crazy while doing it. Good times.

  8. Battle Frontier can be the place where the Move Tutor is also we need it back for BP so we can buy Choice band and other battle items

  24. So i have an idea for a Pokemon
    Skydra
    basically a three headed winged serpent with weather powers for each head (rain, snow, lightning)
    but what to type it
    it has to be Flying but what else, either dragon, electric, water, ice

    Reply

    • Pure Flying/Normal with Forecast with Snow it becomes flying Ice, Rain It becomes Flying Water, Sun it becomes Flying Fire
      I know you said your types but this weather corresponded better

      • true true but i want them to not piggy back on Castform
        but originally these where a creature from my game, basically it was a cloud city that basically enslaved them to ferry people and use the whelpings to generate power to keep the city afloat with the Brood Mother held captive
        (also the eggs act like batteries)

      • well sorta
        it has a lean thin body
        a single massive feathery wing on the end of the tail and a pair near the base of the neck and three long serpentine necks with the same head but each one is different one has a bundle of blue raindrops on its head, another has a lighting bolt crest and the last head has icy spikes

  25. In the airport now, enjoying a complimentary Dunkin Donuts Mint Choc Chip ice coffee. No wifi on the plane though, so I hope the US site updates soon so I can work on the new articles properly.
