I've found a neat little site, I've sent out some PM's to some NWR Staff members to see if they want to get on board. (Jonnyboy117 is already on the prowl!)
The site that I found includes 3 different tournament styles.
- Single Elimination (1 loss elminates you)
- Double Elimination (2 losses elminates you, there is a loser bracket and a winning bracket)
- Swiss Tourney (1 pt for victories, after set rounds are all done whoever has the most wins)
The site isn't the prettiest but it has a lot of features and controls for the admins.
Were no longer in Beta, the site works for the most part. Here is a link to the main page of NWR - Pokemon League Tournament.
NWR - Pokemon League Tournament
Here is the link to the actual website if u want to check it out.
MyLeague
We already finished our 2nd tourney, so as far as i know this will be the NWR - Pokemon League Tournament. We now have about 12 members, if you would want to join in plz PM (click the little lock icon above my post).
(EDIT) Decided to list some new features that I noticed:
1. Prizes can be set by Admins (i.e. Rare Pokemon, NWR prize, Special Signature on NWR Forums maybe?)
2. Can make team tournaments (i.e. 4 ppl to a team, and have like 8 teams or more. Team with most pts win.)
3. I can stage detailed rules for different tourneys (Fire Pokemon only, Female Pokemon only, weight classes, etc)
4. Tournament of Champions (at the end of the month the winners of each tournament are put into a special tournament)
5. Admins can award medals to users.
6. Skill Ratings for users.
7. Stats (Winning Streaks, Win Percentage, Top Players List, etc)
8. Forums & Chat
9. I can have tournaments held in just one day or over multiple days, and ability to postpone a match!
10. If a NWR staffer gives me a image file of the NWR logo or banner, I can upload it to the page.
Update!

As for being Khushrenada's Sectretary of Wi-Fi, I'd first have to ask how much does it pay?

I've started to notice a problem already, some ppl are having difficulties just trying to complete registration using myleague.com. I'm also finding trouble logging into the site and the navigation of the site and its design is crap.
I've found a better looking site, it even lists Pokemon as one of its games to make a tournament for (nobody has made one yet though), however I do not think there is a way for me to make the league private. I want each of the current Beta Tester's to see if they can login and register through myleague.com, if they have problems I say we start again through this new site.
Check it out here:
Leaga.com
Oh and plz post in this thread if you are having problems with myleague.com and plz tell me guys if you prefer leaga.com instead.
I'm gonna test the leaga site out and report back here with more info. stay tuned to this thread.

I think myleague.com is gonna have to be it, unless somebody makes some super kick @$$ tournament site for us. I did find some other sites but like I've said so far myleague.com has the best controls, features, and tournament options. Web page may be ugly and navigation may be questionable but it works, at least on my end.
Please guys find out in the next couple days if you can finish registering to the league and then registering to my first tournament.
Remember guys it starts on 5-19-07 @ 8:00pm EST 5pm Pacific.
(Edit)
I contacted the head guys at leaga.com, they say they would let me bypass the week and 5 tourneys restrictions for me. If myleague.com tournaments go sour, let me know if you guys would rather try leaga.com. At this point I'm still in favor of myleague.com but this is one reason why we are having a beta process.

(Edit)
I opened check in status early, as long as u join before the tournament starts you should be set. I'll be on WFC if u need to chat, or use the "dedicated chat" function on the website im in there right now.
(Edit #2)
damn it, chat is down or something. Just get on WFC if u need to talk.

Thatguy wins in a landslide.
Thatguy 5-0
WuTang 3-2
Shecky 2-3
Blazecon 0-5
Things went smoothly for the most part, i had to figure out what i had to do as an admin on the fly. Turns out it seems that I have to open check in, close check in, start the tourney, and as matches finish I have to report wins loses, advance the round, accept the next pairings/seeding. Once the tournament is done, all i had to do was update the stats pretty much.
I think we are ready for open registrations to all NWR forum users, PM with ur email if u want an invite. We'll probably start another tournament next saturday at 8pm EST, 5pm Pacific time.
Big thanks to all the users that participated with the Beta test, and good luck to anyone who is paired up with thatguy next time.

Dang man... Harsh...
Part of my problem is that I always have the same 5 pokemon with the same movesets... on top of that I've pretty much battled thatguy, what 12 times with that team... so I'm sure it's hard *not* to predict what I'm going to do. I may need to take a leave from these tournaments so that I can actually have a bench to pull from.

Not exactly my fault, u wanted a rematch for your 5th and final match. I probably should have denied it though.....

Yeah, but a poor match-up is a poor match-up. Just like the one on one... no matter how many time we'd play it out I'd have to catch a rare stroke of luck to pull out a win... and I knew exactly what your going to do. Same for the team play...

By the way thatguy, my Lopunny does have arms, if u look closely u will tell it has its arms in a boxer like stance (but more feminine).

I wasn't pinning fault on anyone but myself, and vowing for a rematch is part of basic smack talk

Blazecon definitely got the short end of the stick for this tournament. He almost had me, but my Lopunny was able to comeback from a 1vs3 scenario.

Oh and as an update, if nobody has noticed yet, Jonnyboy117 is testing out the admin abilities on the tournament. Hopefully he can find a way to switch out the dedicated chat room, and forums to redirect using the NWR site's chat room, and forums.
Now its just a waiting game to see if the NWR staff takes over my duties

Instructions:
1. www.myleague.com/nwr (login)
2. click the tournament calendar (sidebar or bottom of page)
3. find the tournament (click it)
4. then click on "rules" (top of page)
(EDIT)
It turns out i can only send out 1 Newsletter a week, so instead I'm gonna just post what I was going to say in the Newsletter. The tournament is a go! As of now my Internet is back up, however the technician said they will most likely come back tomorrow to improve the mainline in my street.
Remember guys, register for the tournament ahead of time, and check in 15-30min before the tournament time. If you have questions PM me or email me.

(Edit)
Tournament Results:
Congrats to Mashiro for winning the tournament and almost going unscathed, 4-1 record!
Mashiro 4-1
Shast 3-2
Caliban 3-2
WutangTurtle 0-5
the newcomers this week whipped the floor with well just me i guess....
Thanks to everyone who participated, and I look forward to the next tourney, hopefully all the past participants as well as the guys that have missed the first 2 tourneys come to the next one.
If playing on a Saturday is a problem please let me know if there is a better day and time for you.

Usually Saturday is the best day to do things for me, but I had a friend celebrating a birthday this time.

Well this weeks tourney was a bust, Thatguy couldn't make it becuase of family, Shecky was at a ball game, and Ceric had troubles registering in time. Oh and I've still yet to see some of the other guys attend.
Well here's hoping we can all find a better day and time to host the next tourney. Please PM or email me what you guys prefer, oh and if u state a particular time please say EST or Pacific.
EDIT:
New tournament is up for Saturday, June 9th @ 8:15pm EST and 5:15pm Pacific. Lets have a good show guys, it would be nice to see at least half of the members show up instead of just a handful. There won't be a newsletter this week because the site restricts me from sending more than one a week and Friday is the first day I can send a new one, so I'm gonna let it reset, and send out newsletters earlier in the week.

Today's Tournament is as follows:
Round 1-3: 4 vs 4 (Singles) LV 50 mode
Round 4-5: 4 vs 4 (Doubles) LV 50 mode
again no legendaries, items are allowed, etc.
Post by: that Baby guy on June 09, 2007, 11:36:47 AM
I plan to win!
Post by: WuTangTurtle on June 09, 2007, 11:54:42 AM
legendaries = F'ck no
i hope Ty does respond back to me, cause i got some other ideas for a tourney that would need its own forum thread. I have an idea to have a draft! Basically each person gets to name one pokemon for their team until the other entrants pick theirs, then you get to pick your second pokemon. This means nobody is allowed to use a Charizard for example if someone else is already using it. Think of it as a fantasy draft.

I, sir, like that idea. The only problem I forsee is that well, not everyone has a diverse pool of pokemon to draft from. In a small group it may work as most people probably have 6-8 (and I'm assuming a team of 4)

So today we had Thatguy hitting double digit wins first in the tourney but failing short at hitting number 11 against Shecky! I however went 2-0 on Shecky until he pulled a Gengar in our third match, where he went off from there and beat Thatguy twice in a row! Caliban got some tough losses to Thatguy but edged me out. Here is todays entire matches in reverse order:
Shecky(1) defeated thatguy(2)
Caliban(6) defeated WuTangTurtle(0688-1762-2129)(3)
Shecky(2) defeated thatguy(1)
Shecky(2) defeated WuTangTurtle(0688-1762-2129)(3)
thatguy(1) defeated Caliban(6)
thatguy(1) defeated Caliban(6)
WuTangTurtle(0688-1762-2129)(4) defeated Shecky(2)

However, I noticed something interesting. Could everyone in this tournament look at me in their Pal pad and tell me what it says after "Group?"

So far, I've been putting mine in the Smack talk thread I've made.

Yes I do have one victory over you, it was on Saturday at around 1AM, later on (9 or 10pm'ish) I got a beating from you indeed lol. The pal pad keeps the records anyway.
I only register losses for the Saturday reunions, any other day for me is a training day.
Your "Group" has nothing written on it. Wutang has PETA, Shecky has nothing written, Mashiro has nothing written, and Shast has GODPLAR. If you could tell me what i have written that would be nice please.
Post by: that Baby guy on June 10, 2007, 03:09:47 PM
Yeah, Caliban, I had that I had beaten you five times before last time we had a bunch of matches, and then three more times after that. I also had that I lost to you in that earlier period, so at some point the record was 5-1, and since then, it became 8-1. So you beat me at some point before we played our last three matches, which were either yesterday or the day before or something like that.

For the record I played WuTang 4 times... The first match was a doubles that came down to the final 2 on each side and I had a type mismatch. So, I used my Golem's new found ability to explode and well took EVERYONE out
That led to an immediate rematch where this time WuTang did the exploding and whose bunnery endured both my hit and his friendly fire explosion in the same round.In the last round we boosted pokemon counts to 6 from 4 and I recruited my Gengar to completely mess with his bunnery, which if you ask me likes him *way* to much considering how much damage return was doing...
Post by: WuTangTurtle on June 11, 2007, 10:12:14 AM
the funny thing is Lopunny isn't really that good at all, but out of all my Pokemon so far it has been one of my most stable pokemon. As for that last match against Shecy, ur lucky i deleted the move foresight, otherwise my Lopunny could have destroyed ur Gengar. Also I was able to get u down to just your Gengar, and took half of its life without landing a single blow. If i had just one more Pokemon to withstand Gengar's attacks, Gengar would have died from Hail/Swagger.

I don't IV train to perfection (which would require an absurd amount of time and lots of rare candies) but the EVs are easy to do with a Gamefaq list and a calculator haha.
I look forward to playing this week, 5 of my guys are now complete and ready to roll! Just deciding on what the 6th should be...
Oh and on a random side note, I beat the first Tycoon fight in the battle tower today...word lol.

You would also need to catch/breed the right pokemon with the right "nature" if you really want to be a perfectionist. Oh and congrats to Mashiro for winning his first fight in the battle tower, personally I still haven't beaten the elite 4 yet
Now some semi important news!
I've recently added some nice links back to NWR Home, Forum, and Chat in order to make things easier for people. I've also just added 2 new polls to the main page. Go check em out!
Post by: Mashiro on June 16, 2007, 10:11:52 AM
Shast and I will be competing tonight btw so I'll check out those new links. Should be fun hope a lot of people play!
Post by: WuTangTurtle on June 16, 2007, 03:34:12 PM
Here's the breakdown:
WuTangTurtle won the tournament
1. WuTangTurtle 4-1
2(tie). Mashiro 3-2
2(tie). Toruresu 3-2
3. Shast 0-5
Round by Round:
(parenthesis acknowledge your overall tournament standing)
*matches shown in reverse order.
Mashiro(6) defeated Shast(7)
WuTangTurtle(3) defeated Toruresu(4)
Mashiro(6) defeated Shast(7)
WuTangTurtle(3) defeated Toruresu(4)
Toruresu(4) defeated Shast(7)
WuTangTurtle(3) defeated Mashiro(6)
Mashiro(7) defeated Shast(6)
Toruresu(6) defeated WuTangTurtle(3)
Toruresu(7) defeated Mashiro(6)
WuTangTurtle(3) defeated Shast(5)
So as you can see, yours truly has officially bounced back from a 0-5 outing from a tournament ago. Mashiro's EV comeback didn't go as planned. Shast..........he got Shafted this time around (sorry Shast but I had to use that word, lol). Last but not least a new challenger, Toruresu, arrives and nearly steals the show!
I look forward to more of this kind of action, it was some nice furious kinda fun. Till next time guys!
P.S. Forget about fearing my Lopunny shaming you, aBobInSnow is snowplowing everyone away lol.
Post by: Mashiro on June 16, 2007, 05:12:51 PM

Numbers wise the EV trained Jolteon is leaps and bounds above the other Jolteon . . . so why is the non-ev trained one better?
Things like that confuse me.

You sure you have the two straight? Also, it would be nice to do an experiment, in what really happens to those EV's for lvl50 matches (and lvl100). We all assume that they just stick around, but what if the EV caps are different for lvl50/100 matches (ie: normalized)
Unfortunately, I don't care enough to figure it out, but since you already have EV'd pokemon you could ...

Good question about the EVs sticking around, I assume they do (since all pokemon do have EVs as they level) but yeah they don't matter as much as I thought they would I guess.
I'm playing through the game again from the beginning (yep I restarted) to just have more fun with it this time around and to remake half my team and re-use some TMs and such that I already wasted previous. I did keep 3 of my EV guys though that I liked (Gallade, Arcanine and Ludicolo). So we'll see what happens next time around =).

Dont forget you can only EV train in 2 stats to make any difference, with only about 3 extra points in a 3rd stat. You cant spread them out all over the place, or nothing makes a difference. because all pokemon are EV trained unless they are raised by the day care guys, or have nothing but rare candies from birth. So if all you do is battle every pokemon on the planet it wont make any difference at all. But if you battle nothing but marrils, as you grow a level you will see your HP get literaly a +17 HP increase(depending on how many were battled within that level)
As far as Dragonite out running Aerodactyl, you have to always consider crap items like quick claw, attacks like powder snow , snow slide, being paralyzed, or carrying that heavy ball around.
Did dragonite use Extreem Speed? Other wise it should have went slower.
I have been super busy lately, I mean amazingly busy, but soon enough I will be ready to battle you guys. I just about trained my 2 favorite pokemon up, and the rest will follow easily.

As for Dragonite, he just used normal moves (no items went off while he did the moves nor was the move an extreme speed or quick attack style move).
It's weird I know so like I said don't bother with EVs . . .lol.

That's why it makes no sense as to why a statistically weaker pokemon (my original Jolteon) hits HARDER than my EV'ed statistically higher Jolteon. Again the numbers all match up to what the EVs should be doing but the outcome didn't.

It's a trick! He just doesn't want us to EV train, because he works for Peta!

Also, are you sure you maxed out the EV's? You might have made a counting mistake. You can go to someone in the game that gives you a ribbon when EV's are maxed.

1) Yes
2) Yes
3) Yes
4) Yes
5) Each Jolteon used the same held item
and lastly: yeah I know it is random but literally every hit with the weaker Jolteon would one shot the opposing Infernape. Now on the same infernape with the EV Jolteon (again numbers higher than the other Jolteon) he would always fall short of one shoting the infernape by around 15 hitpoints.
and yes I'm positive it was maxed out.
It doesn't matter much anymore now though, it will forever boggle my mind. . . . the only EV trained guys I have kept are Arcanine, Gallade and Ludicolo. Upon restarting my game I decided to use 3 new guys in my final team and I'll see how that goes ^_^, onward to badge 4 . . . again!

EVs make twice as much difference at level 100 than they do at 50, because even if you've maxed them out earlier than 50, they aren't all added on until level 100. That's why you can see insane gains in just the one level if you put in heaps of EVs at level 80-90, since it'll be "catching up" to give you the appropriate EVs for the level. So what i'm trying to say is, the lower the level, the less EVs (and IVs) make a difference.

I've come to a realization that I really don't have the time to really host/admin the NWR - Pokemon League Tournaments.
1. My QA Tester job is very taxing on my availability.
2. I'll be doing a lot of overtime on multiple titles.
3. At best I'll have maybe one whole free day to myself.
4. I'm pursuing a 3D Modeler/Level Design job for the future and need to put priority on that over everything.
I'll be posting a Newsletter to inform everybody that may not come here. It would be awesome if I could find one or two people that could just administer the tourneys. If I can't then the tourneys would probably only be a once or twice occurrence a month, as my availability will be low. Also me and Ty were gonna work out a forum section here for the tournaments, and now I'm not sure if I should give him the info and the go ahead.
For now expect a tourney this week, but next week I can't host one due to some overtime at work. I'll keep everybody posted with my status as well as the Tournament League's status.
