The Trinity League presents its next casual Wifi Tournament for everyone: Wizard's Wrath!
This real-time tournament will take place on Saturday and/or Sunday, August 16th-17th.
We have thought of a creative theme in which trainers will battle each other using their Wizard Pokémon and their Spellborn allies.
The Wifi tournament rules are the following:
- Tournament format: up to 6 rounds on Multilevel format (point based system, so no knock-outs)
- General Smogon Rules & Double Tier
- Double Battle format using one, non-changeable team
- each participant must use 3 Wizard Pokémon as well as 3 Spellborns
- "Wizard" Pokémon may not be trained in the Atk. stat or use physical moves (like Sacred Sword, Shadow Claw, Earthquake, etc.)
- Spellborns are subdivided into 3 categories: Familiars, Apprentices, and Infernals. Participants must either use 1 Pokémon from each Spellborn category, or use 3 Pokémon from only one of the Spellborn categories. (see FAQ for legal examples)
- not more than 1 Legendary Wizard and 1 Legendary Spellborn allowed
- Players must open the battle with a Wizard & a Spellborn Pokémon.
Tournament Point System:
Players can participate by posting "signing in" directly into the tournament thread starting Saturday (August 16th).
Participants can choose to battle any other signed-in opponent to earn points and battle either on Saturday, Sunday, or both days. Each participant may only battle up to 6 opponents, and the player with the most points by the end of Sunday will be determined the winner. (Ranking will be announced on Monday)
- 1 Victory = +3 pts.
- If Victory: +1 pt. is awarded for every remaining Pokémon
- If Loss: +3 pts. are awarded if opponent has 1 Pokémon remaining; +2 pts. if opponent has 2-3 Pokémon remaining; +1 pt. if opponent has 4-5 Pokémon remaining
- 1 Victory against opponent with equal or more pts. = +3. pts.
- In the unlikely case of an "auto-win" (if by the end of Sunday the number of participants is uneven), then the auto-win counts as +1 pt.
Prizes for the upcoming tournament include the following:
- Feature Prize: 5IV shiny Fennekin (1st place winner may claim any feature prize - contact Cryùel to claim this prize)
- Feature Prize: 5IV shiny Eevee (2nd place winner may claim any of the remaining feature prizes - contact DragonTamer44722 to claim this prize)
