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.

  4. I wish Pokemon characters were more complex 🙁 Why is it that over the years kids’ shows have become more… stupid?

  5. Thank goodness that Disqus is not being stupid on us.
    I have terrible news…
    3 Pokemon died in my Nuzlocke D: D’:
    Ikki (Pidgeotto) died by a Pinsir from some Trainer in Glittering Cave, Jinora (Floette) and Zuko (Charmeleon) died by Calem’s Absol.

    I was not expecting three deaths, especially so close to each other D:

      • I have no Kai yet xD Nothing I caught screamed Kai to me.
        But she is with her sister now.
        I keep killing off Tenzin’s family xD

        • That inspired me to name the shiny Charmander I found after 15 srs from Sycamore. I’m sorry that you lost him. Were you playing X or Y and were you plying with a level limit?

          Reply

          • Y and no. It’s my first one, I didn’t want it to be too hard :3
            But it’s in the PC. I really couldn’t bear to release them.
            I’m a wimp. xD

          • If it’s your first one, why aren’t you playing with a mercy rule. That’s what I did my first nuzlocke. Platinum BTW. Granted I had a lot of deaths, and ultimately won against Cynthia with the random shiny shellos I found but still, it was HARD!

          • I have some. Like the Shiny one and the Gym Badge acting as a checkpoint.
            The second chances one I thought of using, but I decided not to.
            And I’m also not using the EXP Share, but I never use that xD
            So maybe it’s hard, but I don’t really care xD
            I thought I wanted it easy, but now, I kinda like Nuzlocke’s are kinda hard :3

          • Well that’s good. right now I’m doing a nuzlocke in pokemon black. so far 7 badges and only five deaths!

          • Awesome 😀
            I had hoped mty team could survive longer, but I guess, what you take for granted will get taken away D:
            Oh wells, I got Ty Lee (Meditite), Amon (Inkay), and Bolin (Hippopotas) on my team now 😀

          • That’s still pretty good. But yeah, it’s always good to play it safe… That’s how I almost lost to Cynthia…

      • I am hanging on. I still got my Yue, Jet, and Sokka.
        Ty Lee (Meditite), Amon (Inkay), and Bolin (Hippopotas) are joining them :3

  15. I saw a shiny Diancie in my game for the first time in a trade request. Of course the trainer couldn’t trade her though. However, after a failed attempt at trading, we had a delightful conversation via Shout Out about the Movie Event Diance. 😀

  17. Yo somebody settle this
    Is it considered good luck that you get sick at work and have to leave early but also bad luck when that sickness keeps u on the toliet for an hour?

    Which kinda brings up that our characters are basically immortal
