Welcome to Pokémon: Generation I!

In the final round 7 games will be played at the same time so premium only please, with 97% attendance or above.
Edit: Minimum attendance has been reduced to 95% in order to get the tournament filled.

In this tournament each round represents a Gym Leader found in the Red/Blue/Green/Yellow versions of the Pokémon franchise.
One game (map) will be played per pokémon belonging to the Gym Leader, and the players with the fewest points will be eliminated after each Gym Leader.

Settings for All Games
6-Player, Standard
Automatic, Sequential, 24 hours
Escalating, Chained, No Fog

Round Limits
Rounds 1-4: 20 rounds

Games should be joined within three invites. Failure to do so will result in being replaced.

Groups for Round 1 will be assigned using random.org. In subsequent rounds all players will be seeded according to their total score. Players with the same total score will be seeded in alphabetical order.

In Round 1 any dropouts will be replaced by reserves. In subsequent rounds any dropouts will be replaced by the highest-scoring player who was eliminated in the previous round.

When I rescued the tournament after Round 1, instead of eliminating the 12 lowest scoring players overall, I eliminated the 12 lowest scoring players who told me they were not continuing or who did not get back to me when I asked if they were still in. The other players who dropped out after Round 1 were replaced by reserves from the top of the scoreboard down, then all remaining players were bumped up to fill all remaining spots.

All tiebreaks will be decided by who scored the most points in that round. If players are still tied, count-back will come into effect. If players are still tied after that, they will be grouped together and will replay the round with the same scoring. The player(s) earning the most points from these games will go through to the next round. Points from these games will not count outside of that particular tiebreak. Scores on individual maps play no role in tiebreaking. Tiebreaker games will only be used to determine eliminations. Tied players whose elimination or advancement is guaranteed will be sorted by alphabetical order.

Thank you to all 12 of you, and especially to solar, who so nobly and so helpfully stepped in for kierkegaard_2 when the latter went silver.

60 of us still in this tourney, let us congratulate ourselves on having advanced to Round 4!
Groups and games will be made, and invites sent out, later tonight (hopefully).

[Fewnix]

I think I accidentally refused the invite to game Game 11439100 wile joining the other two. Care to re-onivte me?

[ltcomdata]

I am in, as a replacement, if you still need one.

[sempaispellcheck]

Round 4 has finally completed, and standings have been updated.

This round, we only say goodbye to 6 players:

General Bax
richman688
shaz2

Thank you to all 6 of you. I am sad to see you go, but hopefully we will meet soon elsewhere on CC, and I want you to know that you are all welcome in any tournament I host in the future.

54 of us still in this tourney, let us congratulate ourselves on having advanced to Round 5!
Games will be made, and invites sent out, later this week (hopefully).

[Fewnix]

I will probably be taking a break, one or two weeks?, from CC in mid September so it is best if I drop out and the reserves are called in. Thanks, Sempai for keeping this alive

[sempaispellcheck]

OK, then. Fewnix, thank you for playing. Sorry to see you go.

But, your withdrawal opens the door for the highest-scoring player previously eliminated to remain in the tournament.
And that player is...shaz2! Welcome back!
Groups being revised now.

[Mad777]

I'm wondering if isn't a mistake than "Koffing" is represented 2 times and with the same map for this round 5, same in Round 12 with "Dragonair"???

[sempaispellcheck]

No, it's not a mistake - in the game, Koga has two Koffings and Lance has two Dragonairs.
It doesn't really make sense to use two different maps for the same Pokémon.

[Mad777]

No, it's not a mistake - in the game, Koga has two Koffings and Lance has two Dragonairs.
It doesn't really make sense to use two different maps for the same Pokémon.

Ok I see, I'm not familiar with all this "Pokemon stuff" , I was just surprise to see twice the same game.

Thanks for the clarification!

[dt03457]

Count me is as a reserve... dt03457
