Round 6 of the Nugget Bridge Major 4 Has Started
We’ve started Round 6 marking 2/3 of the way there! More players are starting to officially be eliminated from top cut if they have more than two losses, but players should stick out as long as they can; the practice is invaluable and can help translate to future results.
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):
- Flight A: Wyrms Eye + feathers
- Flight B: makiri + Hibiki
- Flight C: Gonzo + Unreality
- Flight D: Braverius + majorbowman
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 Monday, March 23rd, 2015 at 11:59 PM Pacific Daylight Time.

After scanning the brackets, this is what I found. Someone feel free to add on, as I know I’m not getting all of them. “Elimination Game” means both players have two losses.

Cypher v TKOWL (Elimination Game)
Baz Anderson v Simon (Elimination Game)(Baz has already won 2-0)CTMikotoMisaka v sohaib (Elimination Game)
Flight B
Fatum v Impact
Pd0nZ v Wolfey (really looking forward to this one to be honest)

I Am A Rookie v Firefly (Elimination Game)

(Coming up short on Flight D. Any help here is appreciated.)
All of these jumped out at me. I will try to stream my game vs Wolfey, but no guarantee I will be able to. We will have to see.
I will be attempting to stream my match with I Am A Rookie here on Saturday. I’ll post link (if that’s okay?) on here before the match happens

Um…my opponent used a Luxury Ball Mega Blaziken…how can that be?
It can’t.
If you have proof you might want to message your flight leader.
Dream World event can be in any ball that’s available in BW.
Can we use 5th Gen Mons? I thought everything had to be Blue Pentagon.
I don’t see anything about that in the rules.
Pentagon rule has been in place since X/Y.
“Pentagon Rule: All Pokémon must have the blue pentagon on their stats page indicating they were caught, bred, or received as an official gift in Pokémon X, Y, Omega Ruby, or Alpha Sapphire.” – http://nuggetbridge.com/news/standard-ruleset-2015-vgc-season-updated/
feel free to drop me, I’m in flight B
Not sure if this is the right place to ask but does the order of finish in the Swiss rounds determine seeding for the top cut rounds? Around 100 people will make it to the top cut meaning 28 people will get a bye the first round. Will the bye spots be awarded first to the 9-0s then top ranking 8-1s?
I beat my opponent, and none of us can update the score, it was jackofspadesman, and the score was 2-1 halp.
bidoof, i’m already x-3 , hope my oponents still want to battle.
Basically we’re taking all X-2 players, putting them into an excel spreadsheet then sorting by tiebreakers.
Points > Opponents Match Win % > Own Game Win %
Essentially every X-0 will get a bye as well as some X-1s based on those tiebreakers.
