Thats not quite Season 3 stuff, but it is a good idea. I'll leave that to Mosers or Eternal to host that kinda tour XD

Make sure it runs smoother, and really i dont see how Seasons here will be successful with the amount of ppl that take part atm.

Last season I had to persevere with the the amount of times the TU Server went down, plus the site/forums going down. Anyway I can get it to run smoother would be great xD

@IAC: Maybe, but I am not sure that is really something that a seasonal tour should include, like Milos idea, its certainly feasable, but I feel they are both kind of seperate types of tours.

How's is Season 3 done?

I suggest...

OU: Week 1, Week 4, Week 7
UU: Week 2, Week 5, Week 8
Uber: Week 3, Week 6, Week 9

Each week, the days of Saturday and Sunday. A total of 18 tournaments (9x2). And leave the points system the same because everyone that wins a battle has a chance to gain points. Or else no one would be interested in playing. But, you can change how many points they earn:

Won Round 1: 1 point
Won Round 1+2 = 1+2 = 3 points
Won Round 1+2+3 = 3+2 = 5 points
Won Round 1+2+3+4 = 5+2 = 7 points
Won Round 1+2+3+4+5 = 7+2 = 9 points

That would be the best way to give out points. The highest you can earn in a 16 person (4 rounds) tournament is 7 points, the highest you can earn in a 32 person (5 rounds) tournament is 9 points.

Looks good to me!
Maybe include another tier like littlecup or something?

Nah, not many people play Little Cup. Would be very hard to find people playing LC, trust me. Random battle is an option, but is solely luck involved (and we don't want luck).

We can do special kinds of tournaments. Like "No Generation 4 Pokemons allowed" or "Only Pokemons that learn trap moves allow." Takes a lot of skills to create teams and be able to battle a metagame you've never done before. But I don't think we should associate these tournaments with Teamuber Seasonal tournaments.

UU, OU, Uber are fine as they are...

I also agree that we shouldn't mix up special based tours, or little cup tours with the Seasonal tours, we should at least keep it with the 3 mainstream tiers.

In case of Round Robins, lets say 24 players for example:

[24 players participating] Won Round 1: 1 point
[12 players remaining] Won Round 2: 3 points
[6 players remaining] Won Round 3: 5 points
[3 player round-robin] Winner of Round Robin: 7 points

12 players will recieve 1 point.
6 players will recieve 3 points.
2 players (the losers of the round robin) will recieve 5 points
1 player (the winner) will recieve 7 points

It all works out. Except you should stay away from Round Robins because there may be three way ties, and the battlesr must battle again for 1st place. If a tie happens, give all the players 5 points (not 7).

Looking good, this will be good once I have typed up the rules and such XD

I am hoping the second week in June (after I have done my exams) that way I can concentrate on it. I will have bundles of time during the summer. While I have still got work (and driving lessons) during the summer, I can get it organised better, and with Eternal, how can I fail XD

That's the day after my Birthday and Graduation and last day of school (distribution of report cards). And that's a Friday.

I'll start making preparations to start the first weekend in June. Also I would need some volunteers for hosts that will help me with the individual tours, I felt I hosted far too many of them in s2.

2:00 PM EST on Saturday and 6:00 PM EST on Sunday.

Something like that, that way we keep them different from Smogon's Tours.

And it would be a better idea next week because Smogon OU tournament is next week. Thus, if we correlate with the tiers Smogon are going by we will have a lot more battlers interested in joining.

And no, there's no problem in correlating with Smogon. Because they don't give a **** as their server is crawling with so many people that they're server is dying.

LOLWUT what makes it so gay? Have you ever actually played an Uber game?

He probably has, but it's pretty much a biased idea anyways.

And we cannot ditch Ubers, it's a "traditional" metagame. If you have enough skills, though, you could make it to the top 8 by just playing OU and UU, haha. Not encouraging you to do so, but it's certainly acceptable if you're that good of a battler; or you can just try your chances in the Uber environment.

:D

Maybe we can add NU to the tournaments.

NU seems to resemble most of the old UU tier Pokemons: http://www.smogon.com/dp/tiers/nu

Should be really fun!

But really, we should just wait until TU has a working tier list.

We don't want to wait until TU has a working tier list. That would take atleast a month. Summer is a perfect time for Teamuber to shine and prosper, we don't want to lose this opportunity.

Once SUmmer is gone, school starts again, and we lose our opportunity...
