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.

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!

  2. Later, in Pokemon Z, an old man challenges you to a battle and after winning and seeing that you’re a kind soul, he gives you the “Strange Souvenir.” A new antagonistic has arisen and their goal is to get the “Strange Souvenir” from you but they fail. Because of the imminent danger, Prof. Sycamore decides to keep the “Strange Souvenir” and you travel safely. However, you get a call from a screaming Prof. Sycamore telling you to come quickly. When you get there, Prof. Sycamore is gone and so is the “Strange Souvenir.” The only thing left is of a small sapling.

  8. what the strange souvenir was meant for:
    bring to pheobe of the E4
    “This reminds of a far off region my family is from”
    she says.
    “glargle flargle!”
    she screeches as she smashes the strange souvenire into bits.
    Inside there is a piece of paper.
    “pheobe, will you marry me?
    -hiker in kalos”

    Giratina (available when you have an AS Dialga and an OR Palkia in your team)
    Deoxys (event)
    Mew (event)
    The Regi Quartet (with Primals hopefully)
    Latios (OR holding Mega Stone)
    Latias (AS holding Mega Stone)

  11. Anime have the tendency to measure one’s power by the aura emanating from one’s inner core. I wonder what the Pokemon anime will do if Cynthia and Steven met? :O
