STAFF PLEASE DON'T MOVE OR DELETE THIS. I HAVE APPROVAL FROM CAT.

Ladies and gents, boys and girls.. Step right up for VictoryRoad's FIRST Roulette Tournament!

Now for those of you who don't even know what a roulette battle is, here's how it goes...

It's just like a normal tournament, people sign up and the competitors are divided into brackets. However; the battling process is a bit different. You first must have one box filled with all of your competitive Pokemon (if you have more then 30, just put your favourites in the box). Prior to battling, you will pick six numbers from 1 to 30 for your opponent, and he will do the same for you. You must find the six Pokemon that correspond with those numbers in the box and use them to battle your opponent. So you could get any six Pokemon in the box, you never know what kind of team you're gonna get. Hence the name roulette!

SOUNDS LIKE GREAT FUN, AMIRITE?

The rules are as follows:
1. Absolutely no hacked Pokemon.
2. Sleep, evasion and OHKO clauses are all in effect
3. No ubers. Here is a list of all ubers.

Ooh, this sounds like a pretty fun tournament, especially with the given Pokémon selection method.

Surely you could just ignore the Pokemon that they picked, and pick your 6 favourites, and nobody would know. Easy cheating there.

If you plan on doing that then don't sign up. It would ruin the fun D:

^and that too. I'll need at least two helpers for that though.

This is gonna be hard for the gym leaders with pokemon of the same type.

Oh I should also mention those who are going to keep track of all the box pokemon can't be in the tourney because they'll see everyone elses pokes. :V

That's true. I'm sure I can find two or three responsible members to keep track of this for me.

I will join and help.

When is this tournament.

It's probably going to be at the end of July. And sure Nin

How many Pokedoptable do we need?

This is a Pokemon Wi-fi tournament using the DS games. Pokedoptables aren't involved in any way. However you must have at least 24 competitive Pokemon if you wish to compete.

Can the Tournament not be on a Sunday because my library is closed and that is the place I get my WiFi from. I will get people from my Pokemon Club to sigh up too.

You forgot Latias in the Ubers list. Though I don't blame you; it's a new addition. Wynaut as well.

You forgot Celebi and Shaymin Land Form

I miss latiaasssss ;~;

I will make the brackets when everybody is sign up if you want me to.

Nah, I can do that. Just sit back, relax, and wait for the tourney, dude.

Are people able to sign up if they don't have a Victory Road account? If some people from my Pokemon Club sign up and I tell you. Can they battle in the Tournament/

No, you have to have a VictoryRoad account. Just ask your buddies to make an account, and then they can sign up no problem

Sign-ups aren't open just yet, but when they are, you and all your friends may sign up! (provided they make a VictoryRoad account)

That works for me this time, cause the june tourny i couldn't bother to enter (cause of the of leaving thing), but i have like 6 boxes of eved pokemon's. But maybe i should just pick 30 pokemon in a box and hope for the best to get good pokemon, cause picking all 6 boxes will make this harder for the people to keep track.

You can only have 30 Pokemon. Read the rules!

Sounds Like A Fun And Special Type Of Tournament. I'll enter for sure and win!

I'll be making the sign-ups thread soon

I'll keep track of the Box Pokémon. I can't join anyways since I don't have sufficient-enough Wi-fi to get online with my games.
YET THE SYSTEM CAN GET ON FINE I MEAN WTVF MAN

Alright, keep in mind you're going to be sent any where from 24 to 30 Pokemon for each member that you're assigned and then you're going to have to check to make sure the Pokemon that they use in the battle correspond with the number they were assigned.

So I have two of the three Boxkeepers I need now. Who wants to be the last one?

I'll join this. But I feel like it will be REALLY hard to stop people from cheating the system.

Not with the boxkeepers. Unless both of the people in the battle are working as accomplices, which is unlikely, and would only last them one match. Or if they lie about Pokemon's positions in the boxes, which again would only last them one match before being discovered.

koooooool what level are they gonna be? auto lvl up to 100?

Yep. All battles will be auto-leveled to 100

EDIT: And I just added that to the rules.

My sercet weapons will win this tournament.

I don't know what you're "secret weapon" is, but if it's ubers or hacked Pokemon, that will result in immediate disqualification xD

All of your pokemon should be secret weapons. Each should have a ton of synergy with each other.

It is not a uber or a hacked Pokemon.

Any of you guys have a Level 100 because I have a lot of them. Hey Sableyed, I am not a good speller.

I wan't join, only 30 pokémon? Then i'm need to put some pokémon in 1 box.

Hitblast64 do you EV train? I read some posts and i don't think so.

I would like to remind all of you that this is NOT the place to ask for battles that have nothing to do with this tourney, and it is certainly not the sign-up thread.

Please people, at least take the effort to read the title of the thread and know that it is for discussion of solely this tourney.

When is the sign up. An other tournament is July 24th so it must be 17th or 31st.

It will probably be on the 31st, but I'm not sure yet.

Thanks, Blues and if you need help with your tournament. I will help you and I plan a tournament for my Pokemon Club so I know what I am doing. Also, when is sign up and how many people can join because I want to join. I will get my friends to sign up too.

There's no limit to how many people can sign up, but I'm not yet sure when the tourney will be. But if your friends want to be in it, you should ask them to make accounts here now.

(Please excuse the double post)

SIGN-UPS ARE UP! http://www.victoryroad.net/showthrea...1162#post71162

I had to push the date forward to the 10th due to some plans, but I hope you can all still sign up! Ningamer and Velociraptor are the official boxkeepers.

Quick questions for the n00b:
1. How do the box keeps work?
2. What defines a competitive Pokémon?
3. Why do we need 24? Will we have to pick randomly among them or...?

All competitive Pokemon qualify. Glad to see that you're joining as well.

EDIT: CHANGED THE DATE OF THE TOURNEY. IT WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON THE 17th. SIGN-UPS WILL CLOSE ON THE 12th!

Are there any rules against having like an entire row of the same pokemon?

MAJOR UPDATE: SPECIES CLAUSE IS NOT IN EFFECT IN ROULETTE BATTLES
