PJT ’14 – Tournament Format Update & Participant Confirmation

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.

  1. I don’t understand why they nerfed Chandelure from having Shadow Tag, but then they made it even more OP with Mega Gengar. :I

  8. So lesse. Bowser, assuming Captain Falcon (since he’s been in all games), Charizard, Diddy Kong, DK, Fox, assuming Ganondorf (all games), Greninja, Ike, assuming Jigglypuff (all games), King Dedede, Kirby, Link, Lil Mac, Lucario, Luigi, Mario, Marth, Mega Man, assuming nerfed Meta Knight, Mii Fighter, assuming Ness (all games), Olimar, Pac-Man, Palutena, Peach, Pikachu, Pit, Rosalina & Luma, Samus, Sheik, Sonic, Toon Link, Villager, assuming Wario, Wii Fit Trainer, Yoshi, Zelda, and ZSS.
    That’s 40 characters. I think Ice Climbers and a couple others will get cut, cause they’re being replaced with Rosalina & Luma and etc. Game & Watch? Idk. BUT they still have the 3 more from Gematsu leaks, 4 – 6 more that should be there, fill in a couple more Vets, and bam 50 people! 😀 Yay.
