Dodrio Cup Signups Have Begun
The long awaited Dodrio Cup is now here. The Dodrio Cup is the Nugget Bridge twist on 2013’s CoroCoro Cup. While we cannot give Worlds invites, you can earn a spot in the Nugget Bridge Invitational where you can compete for $1,000 in prizes.
Dodrio Cup is a 3 versus 3 single elimination team tournament with a fun twist. Species clause applies across your entire 3 person team. This means a Pokemon cannot be used on more than one person’s team within your team. Tired of seeing Kangaskhan on every team? Only one of your opponents can have it each round now! Not only does this prevent some of the more common Pokemon from being used so much, it opens the door for some creative Pokemon team building. Some of the lesser used Pokemon now have a chance to shine and prove their worth.
As mentioned this is a 3 person team tournament so only people with 2 other teammates can join. Get your friends together and compete in one of the more unique rule sets for a chance at glory.
Rules for Dodrio Cup:
- Normal rules for the Nugget Bridge Circuit apply (so Standard Ruleset)
- Teams will be made up of 3 players, no more, no less.
- Species clause will apply across all 3 players. This includes all formes — if a Pokemon shares a Pokedex number with another Pokemon it is not allowed.
- If species clause is broken, the offender will receive a game loss for that game.
- Each game is a best of 1. First team to win 2 games advances.
- Single elimination.
- The game must be played on a 3DS system rather than simulators outside extreme circumstances approved by the tournament organizer makiri
Example of a BAD team
- Huy has Rotom, Goodra, Meowstic, Aerodactyl, Azumarill, Pikachu
- Scott has Mawile, Slurpluff, Chesnaught, Conkeldurr, Rotom, Gyarados
- Evan has Kangaskhan, Rotom, Salamence, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Ferrothorn
As you can see each team has a Rotom, this is not allowed. To fix their teams 2 of the players need to remove Rotom from their team.
Example of a GOOD team
- Huy has Politoed, Goodra, Meowstic, Aerodactyl, Azumarill, Pikachu
- Scott has Mawile, Slurpluff, Chesnaught, Conkeldurr, Aegislash, Gyarados
Evan has Kangaskhan, Rotom, Salamence, Garchomp, Tyranitar, Ferrothorn
