The Combatants Cup

[the3rdH0kage]

Snivy Trainer has informed me that he will be unable to battle this week. As such, the decision for an in-team substitute falls to the 1st round draft pick, ShowMeTheMankey.

Utilizing In-Team Substitution Clause B, The Weather Warriors substitute the3rdH0kage for snivy trainer this week. This is NOT a permanent lineup change.

So I'm team leader for this week. lol Just kidding.

[Bestgamepearl]

what record do you need to have to make it to the last round?

The team with the highest record in each division by week 11 move on to playoffs, and then the 4th spot is decided by the best record overall from a non division leader team

This. And then there's a standard 4 team bracket playoff.

activity post, will try to contact lunar again

[kingothestone]

It doesn't seem like Jets has been on, and if he has, he has made no posts of any kind. Therefore, by the power of In-Team Substitution Clause A, Alcatraz & The Regal Renegades substitute BLUES. in for Jets.

Question. I am a sub (obviously) am I only subbing for Weater Warriors or do I just fill whatever spot needs filled?

You were an off-team substitution for The Weather Warriors. that means that you are now ON The Weather Warriors.

[the3rdH0kage]

OK thanks for the answer.

You should have, but I played really bad in the second and third. That said, I'm dropping out of the Combatants Cup cause its the only reason I'm still here at Serebii and I'm moving on. Rachi can have captain, and I guess you'll need a sub to fill for me for the rest of the season.

1: you're cocky
2: you'll be back


Using Off-Team Substitution Clause C, jirachiuser1 & The Goo Lagoon Land Sharks issues an off-team substitution. with 6 subs available, they were broken into 2 pools of 3. Selecting Pool 2, jirachiuser1's choices were:

emilyshortcake
orbrunnerx
woebegonenick

Congratulations to woebegonenick on being selected for the Goo Lagoon Land Sharks.


Additionally, congratulations to both The Goo Lagoon Land Sharks and The Fellowship for finishing the first half of the season with 3-2 records, guaranteeing both teams 2nd place in the alpha division (2 way tie, possible 3-way tie). Good luck in the 2nd half of the season.

[the3rdH0kage]

Confirming ggs, I made a few bad move choices. But still some fun stuff.

[WolfonDiamond]

Still active, still awaiting my matches, keep contacting him but as of yet he hasnt been available.

[DarumakkaImposter]

i don't care enough to get this done and the timezones suck

[Zachmac]

i don't care enough to get this done and the timezones suck

So...you're asking for a sub?

[kingothestone]

3 matches left that I actually care about getting done. 39 hours to do them.

[ShowMeTheMankey]

i don't care enough to get this done and the timezones suck

so wat do i do now

[kingothestone]

so wat do i do now

Either convince him to play or don't. In the end, the only team he's hurting is his own, since in case of an in-division tie, matches won can be a big factor.

[WolfonDiamond]

Still no battle, haven't even seen him online recently.

MIDSEASON ANNOUNCEMENT:
As you all know, next week is the All-Star Week. It is more, however, than just a chance to see the best players in the league play each other. It is also an opportunity for teams to bolster their ranks by way of a midseason AUCTION!

That’s right, we’ll be doing an auction for the midseason. Here are the rules:
-ONLY CAPTAINS MAY BID. NO EXCEPTIONS.
-Each team will be allowed a roster expansion to include a 6th player. This is NOT mandatory.
-Each Team will start with $15000.
-Players may be dropped. All dropped players are worth $1,500 to the team dropping them.
-Dropped players are eligible for pickup, just like any other player.
-The minimum bid on any player is $1,500
-The MAXIMUM bid on any player is $15000
-A bid will be locked after 18 hours. The bidding period, as a whole, will last 4 days.
-Each captain is allowed to have bids on up to 5 different players at any given time.

The following is an example of how the bidding will work, involving 3 of the 12 managers.

Manager #1:
• Player 1 - 2k
• Player 2 - 1.5k
• Player 3 – 2k
• Player 4 – 5k
• Player 5- 2k

Manager #2:
• Player 5 - 5k
• Player 1 – 2.5k
• Player 6 – 2k
• Player 4 – 5.5k
• Player 7 – 2k

Manager #3:
• Player 4 – 7k
• Player 8 – 2k
• Player 9 – 2k
• Player 10 – 2k
• Player 5 – 7k

~18 hours has passed since they have made their posts~

Manager #1 gets player 2 and player 3.
Manager #2 gets player 6 and 7
Manager #3 gets players 4, 5, 8, 9, and 10.

They may now start bidding on more players.

Signing Up
If you missed out on the original sign-ups, or you just want a shot at maybe getting on a team that's desperate for substitutes, now is the time to come out!

Because players are bound to miss the original sign-ups, as well teams are bound to have players that have to leave for a significant portion of the season, in the middle of the season, sign-ups will reopen for 4.5 days. Players will sign up and a free agent list will be made.


Note: In order to sign up, you need to have been a registered member BEFORE January 2013. Not being registered before that date will prevent you from signing up full stop.

If you wish to sign up, post the following form ON THE THREAD:

Disclaimer: I hereby acknowledge that I am in no way guaranteed a spot on any team. I understand that, if I am not purchased, I will be placed on the substitute list and may have an opportunity to participate in the tournament if the need arises.

Signups for the midseason end at 12:01 PM (GMT -5) on Monday, February 4th. Best of luck.

[ShowMeTheMankey]

so any manager can buy any player?

[Magicmonkey]

so any manager can buy any player?

No, they can buy the subs, the late sign ups and the players who get fired.

[Bestgamepearl]

There should be an option that if the 6th person is bought the team captain doesn't have to play anymore!!!! But in all seriousness, hoping to see steve tonight to setup a battle for tomorrow, didn't see him yesterday D:

[ger9119]
