Round 2 of the Season 4 Nugget Bridge Major Has Begun

The first round of the Nugget Bridge Major 4 is in the history books. After a hard fought round, everyone is still in a position to make the top cut so don’t give up because you lost already. The second round of the Major is now finalized and you may begin battling and reporting your scores. An important thing to note for this round, the deadline is 2 weeks as opposed to 1 week. Please do not begin to fret immediately when your opponent does not show. The round will end at 23:59 Pacific (UTC-8) on Monday, February 23rd, 2015.

As a reminder here is the bracket. Please read the kick off post for instructions on reporting your score and messaging your opponent.

Flight Leaders are an important part of this tournament, make sure you are using them properly. Please do not spam them with requests and private messages. They are busy people and they will eventually be able to help you. In case you may have forgotten these are your Flight Leaders (they have not changed):

Once again the rules for this tournament:

  • The ruleset will be the Standard Format.
  • The tournament will follow the Swiss structure and leads to a final single elimination top cut to determine the champion. This means you play every round whether you win or you lose
  • The top 32 players or all players with 2 or fewer losses (whichever is the larger number) will make it to the top cut single elimination stage
  • Games will be played in a best of 3 set and the winner of 2 games will be declared the winner of the match. Report the proper score because your tiebreakers are affected. The only results should be 2-0 or 2-1.
  • You may not change teams during that best of 3, but you can change teams between rounds.
  • Games must be played on Nintendo 3DS systems using Pokémon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire. In certain circumstances Pokémon Showdown may be used, but it needs to be cleared with makiri, the tournament host.
  • This is not a live tournament. Matches will play out over the course of the week.
  • A Nugget Bridge account is required to play.
  • If your match comes down to activity and you either never read your opponent’s communication, never replied to your opponent’s communication, or never logged on to Nugget Bridge during the current round you will be dropped from the tournament.
  • As mentioned it is Swiss, just because you lose it does not mean you are done, play the tournament out!
  • Please record a video while playing your match (using a phone or camcorder or something similar) to help in case of disputes. We also recommend saving all battle videos.

Any other important information can be found in the kick off post.

Deadline for this round is Monday, February 23, 2015 at 11:59 PM Pacific Standard Time.

    Quick Notes:

    • This is the discussion thread. Have something important? Post it here.
    • Scores are reported on the bracket on Battlefy.
    • Private Message your opponent on Nugget Bridge to keep a record of communication. Invite your Flight Leaders to your conversation later in the week and at least 36 hours before the deadline. Do not invite them unless they’re needed.

    Nice n simple requests thread

  4. Pokester says:

    He’s requesting that people need to actually read the rules before they find their opponent.

  5. Really excited to hear what happens for some of these Flight B matches– looking at Trista vs Ashton, MrEobo vs CrazySnorlax, emforbes vs Zekira Drake (oh god the time zones), and a few other matchups from vaguely recognizable names. Good luck to everyone, let’s have some fun and hopefully get these matches done around all the regionals haha.

    Do think its worth throwing in that even if you drop 3 getting in that extra practice in the rest of the tourney certainly can’t hurt.

  7. Firestorm says:

    So I expected like a 20% drop rate in Round 1 from activity but we still have 1219 players left. Only 8% drop rate from inactivity! As someone who deals with tournaments every single day as a day job, this is a ridiculously small number. Good job everyone!

    Hoping to gain some momentum with a win this round 😀

    Man this is why I love tournaments like these, the best players in the world (and good players who are relatively unknown) can battle and have real intense matches. My opponent this round really gave me a great intense set of matches, I can’t express how good a set it was so I just want to thank Dietrich for an awesome set of matches.
     
    2-0 now and let’s keep going ^_^ Splish Splash
