Details on the Wild Card Event
The four players listed above are the only ones who can compete in the wild card event. There will be two Phases to this Wild Card Event.

Phase One, Extra Life Event:
Starting on 9/19 10amPST through 9/23 11:59pm you four may challenge ME to a match vs my Champion Team! You must compete in a best 3-5, and there is no rematch clause. You get one shot at beating me. If you do beat me, you will have an extra life when moving on into Phase Two of the Wild Card Event. All Rules from the event still apply.

Phase Two, Wild Card Elimination Matches:
After 9/23, I will be randomly pairing the four of you into pairs in which you will face off in a best 2-3 match. If you loose, you are out of the running for making it to the final event. The two winners will face each other in a best 3-5 match, and the winner of that match will move on to face with the Victors in the final Showdown Throwdown! If you have an extra life, you must still post the results of the battle and declare who is using their extra life. Every single match must be shared no matter what. Failure to do so may have you disqualified from proceeding forward. If a player makes it to the winner's bracket and have an extra life, they may use it if defeated in that matchup, but it will not carry over to the main event.

An Idea came to mind... "What if we set up a pokemon event for all the Pokemon lovers out there where you had to run a gauntlet of battles, going against different Iwaku members who were the Gym Leaders, and Finally the Elite Four and Champion!"

What this would be:

Iwaku members signing up to be Gym Leaders following the same rules as they do, picking a type and using pokemon of that type.
Iwaku members signing up to be an Elite Four Member following the same rule as they do, picking a type and using pokemon of that type.
Iwaku members signing up to be the Champion, making a balanced team to challenge the players.

As players:
Players who can complete all 13 battles will be put into a Pokemon Tournament, organized by me, to compete for a grand prize that I would decide on closer to the actual tournament itself. The first 8 players to complete the event would be entered into the tournament, and the victor would walk away with the prize and bragging rights of being Iwaku's champion!!

Sign up Now!!!

Rules About your TEAM

  2. Players cannot have two Items that are the same on on their team
  3. Players cannot use banned Pokemon (List found below).

  5. Teams are LOCKED and Cannot be changed once Submitted
    5a. Meaning you pick 6 pokemon, and that is who you battle all gym leaders with, and who you will submit for the pokemon tournament at the end. Switching a Pokemon from your team Requires you to start the challenge all over again starting with the first Gym Leader.
  6. Pokemon Base Stat Totals May NOT Exceed: 3,600
    1. *Meaning of this rule is that the total of your Base Stats of all 6 of your Pokemon cannot exceed the 3,600 Limit. (See Below for more)

  11. Players cannot use the move Swagger.
  12. Players can only have the move Barton Pass on one Pokemon's move set.
  13. Players can only put one Pokemon asleep at a time. This is an Uber Tier rule. If you try to put a Pokemon to sleep and there is already one asleep on their team, the second Pokemon will instantly wake up. This is less of a rule and a notice so players are aware of it.

2. List Your Availability. Clearly Gyms aren't going to be available all the time, but we are going to need Gym Leaders who are available to battle with contestants regularly! So please, list what times you are not open for battling. Having too little availability may have your submission to become a gym leader rejected.

2*. Gym Leaders May NOT exceed a Base Stat Total of: 3,300
3*. Elite Four Members May NOT exceed a Base Stat Total of: 3,500

Tournament Specific Rules!
Rematch Policy
A Trainer may request a rematch after a loss with a Gym Leader/Elite Four Member. They will then have to complete a best 2-3 match against the Gym/E4 in order to advance. If they loose this bout, they may not challenge the Gym Leader again for 24 hours.

Concede Policy
A Trainer may Concede their team from the tournament at any time. If they feel they need to remake their team, or they feel they are unable to participate in the event anymore, they may concede. When you Concede your team, you may remake your team and start the event from Gym 1 and work through the battles all over again! A trainer must resubmit their new team again in order to participate, and it must be approved by F0X before a battle can be requested.

Order Policy
The order that Trainers must complete the Gyms are as listed above starting with Gym 1 and going in numerical order until you reach the Champion. After completing each Gym, you will submit your video as proof of your victory tagging @F0X so that I can see it. Once I have verified your victory, I will award you an image courtesy of @WhisperingWillows of a badge case with your badges in it! There will be a different image for each gym completed, and you may put it in your Signature to show off your awesome badges if you'd like! Once you've collected all the badges and defeated the Champion, you will be entered into the final tournament. Only the first 8 players to complete the event will be entered into the tournament.

Cheating Policy
If any Trainer is caught cheating due to breaking one of the listed rules above, you will have to start the event from the beginning of the entire event. If caught cheating a second time, you will be disqualified completely and put on a black list. I certainly hope this doesn't have to happen. If Gym Leaders or Elite Four Members are EVER caught cheating, they must step down from their position and another member who is on a reserve list may take that spot. After a 1 Week Probation Period, that member may enter the tournament as a Trainer, but the same rules apply for cheating a second time.

Rules about the Tournament are still TBT, but they shall be posted as soon as they are finalized.

-----------------------

F.A.Q.
Q. Do I have to battle the Gym Leaders in the order listed above?
A. Yes, you must. The only exception to this is if the Gym Leader says that they are going to be out of town for more than a few days (Like a week) and they have contacted me about it. I will make an announcement on the thread and make a note in their Gym Profile.


Q. Can I make changes to moves after I enter the event?
A. No. Nothing, and I mean 0%, can be changed about your team once you start the event. You may use the Concede Policy at any time, and once your team has been submitted and reviewed by me, you may start the event again.


Q. What if I have some sort of Internet Issue with Showdown? Does that mean I have to do a 2/3 match even though I didn't get to compete fully?
A. The Gym Leader in this case MUST submit the video and support the claim that they disconnected. DC's can happen, but if there is suspicion that a forced DC happened after "scouting" out the gym, that will count as a loss. To prevent this, in the case of a DC into Rematch, both Gym Leader and Trainer MUST enter battle with the same pokemon that they did the first time.


Q. What if I accidentally enter with one of my other teams by mistake?
A. I HIGHLY recommend you naming your team something that stands out so that this doesn't happen. If the Gym Leader sees you have a team that you didn't submit with, that is in line for instant DQ and restart. However, honest mistakes happen. Again in this case, the video from showdown must be submitted, and until I give the green light.


Q. So for the rematch policy does the initial loss count?
A. No it does not. It is a clean slate best 2/3 match. So, if you lost your best of 1, you get to battle a best 2/3 starting with a 0-0 record. If you loose that as well, you cannot issue another rematch for 24 hours.

Details on the Wild Card Event
The four players listed above are the only ones who can compete in the wild card event. There will be two Phases to this Wild Card Event.

Phase One, Extra Life Event:
Starting on 9/19 10amPST through 9/23 11:59pm you four may challenge ME to a match vs my Champion Team! You must compete in a best 3-5, and there is no rematch clause. You get one shot at beating me. If you do beat me, you will have an extra life when moving on into Phase Two of the Wild Card Event. All Rules from the event still apply.

Phase Two, Wild Card Elimination Matches:
After 9/23, I will be randomly pairing the four of you into pairs in which you will face off in a best 2-3 match. If you loose, you are out of the running for making it to the final event. The two winners will face each other in a best 3-5 match, and the winner of that match will move on to face with the Victors in the final Showdown Throwdown! If you have an extra life, you must still post the results of the battle and declare who is using their extra life. Every single match must be shared no matter what. Failure to do so may have you disqualified from proceeding forward. If a player makes it to the winner's bracket and have an extra life, they may use it if defeated in that matchup, but it will not carry over to the main event.

WELCOME TO THE IWAKU GRAND FINALS!!!!
Must click this link while you read!!!
The Contestants!!
1. @Maxim
2. @LimeyPanda
3. @Ixidor92
4. @Snoopy

The RULES:
1. This will be a Double Elimination format Tournament. If you have never seen or competed in a Double Elimination Tournament, you will see what it looks like when I post the bracket. (Since I am nice, THIS is what it will look like)
2. The Matches will be best 2/3 Matches, except the Finals, which will be best 3/5. All Rules to the Normal Event Still Apply.
3. BOTH Players ARE REQUIRED to save the replays. The WINNER IS REQUIRED to post the results in the thread.
4. This is a pseudo rule... But players SHOULD try to tag me or get my attention if able or one of the E4 members like @Sen @Mahariel @Opal or @Moonlit Blade so that we can watch and be another set of eyes on the fight! We WANT to watch, but having someone there to make sure things go right is good too!
5. Another pseudo rule... Players should try to coordinate their battles AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, but also don't rush a player into battling. I am not putting a strict time limit on the finals, but if a player does hold up the event for too long, or is unable to compete for whatever reason, I may have to consider DQing them from the event. PLEASE DON'T MAKE ME DO THIS!!!

Now... The reason why you're all here... (I hope not but I did hear a lot of begging to know!! >.<)

The Prize Support:
Unfortunately, we only got a total of 4 people for this final event, so ONLY the Finalist will be getting a prize. The prize is one of the following:
Option 1: An Art Piece from the lovely @Mahariel with your personal persona/pokemon! I don't think Mahariel is going to be able to do the FULL 6 Pokemon, but the finalist can put in their request, and Mahariel can work with them on the final piece. However, if art isn't the finalist's cup of tea, there is one other option for a reward...

Option 2: A Perfect, Non-Legendary Pokemon for their Pokemon X/Y or OR/AS 3ds game! What this means is you will request a Non-Legendary Pokemon, specify what you want, and you'll get it! Meaning if it can be played in Showdown, it can be done! I cannot accept requests for Shiny Pokemon, but Perfect means: 6 Perfect IV's, Desired Nature, Desired Gender, Desired Ability, Desired Moveset, and Desired EV Spread.


And there you have it!! The finals are now open!! Let the Battles Commence! Good luck to everyone, and congratulations for making it this far. I look forward to watching all of your battles to come!!

Congratulations with your (easy) victories, @Eon and @Maxim! I doubt my team more for every defeat...

Your Glaze Badges!
 
@IntrusivePenDesperateSword Remember... When it comes down to it we are obstacles that are destined to one day be passed. As a tool to test trainers your purpose is to be beaten, but so long as you didn't make it easy for them and gave it your all then there is honor in your ice types. Remember that and ignore all else.

You do you, booh~
 
Also, if anyone wants to practice against any random teams; I've got like...4 sets now which are about Tournament power level and ready to go.
 
Oh jesus how many people do I have to battle today????????

Just send me an invite because I'm ready to battle...

Hopefully

I mean, you don't have to battle me, but I'm bored and just found out I have an extra 3 days for this assignment; so...
 
Sorry for skipping out last night, @Limeypanda. Laptop died and I figured I may as well sleep. :(

I figured as much :P.

It's fine though, cus that means I'm 1-0 up.
 
I might remake my team if I lose to @Gummi Bunnies again. All depends on how badly me or him loses.
 
It seems my superpower for this thread is to ask gym leaders for a challenge JUST as they are getting offline :/
@F0X
If you ever do turn this into a role-play (which I would totally join) I might just make that a character flaw
 
Alright my new and improved but technically the same team's ready for battle!
@Xnijmai You better get ready for our second battle!
