Weekly Tournament - April 21st - It was Super Effective! - Semi-Upgraded

[serprex]

There's no need to understand pokemon, all that matters is that your choice has a different upgrade count depending on opponent's choice

There are only 3 outcomes: 25 ups, 12 ups, or 5 ups

So when you make a choice, consider the set of choices your opponent could've chosen. Then build 3 decks, one for each case of either 25, 12, or 5 ups

I find that fair criticism. To modify the rules, the biggest challenge is to keep the theme of the tournament. The theme requires some level of upgrade advantage against other types, but I try to present a more simple alternative.

Suggested alternative:

• Choose a Type before each round instead of 2 Types.
  
    can be Normal.
    can be Psychic.
    can be Poison and Ghost.
    can be Fighting.
    can be Ground and Rock.
    can be Grass and Bug.
    can be Fire.
    can be Water and Ice.
    can be Flying.
    can be Dragon.
    can be Electric.
  .
• Simplified type effectiveness table:
  
  
  Spoiler for Hidden:

  
• Decks would only get bonuses if they are Super Effective (double upgrades). Being Not Very Effective would no longer count.
• Only mono decks would be allowed, to make it simple.

Would that be a good start?

This alternative will not be used if we don't get everyone's approval on it.

Alternative can be tried another time, bit late to revamp. Ideally it wouldn't have to be restricted to monos

The original duos are ok, I think. Everyone is just puzzled by the 5/25 ups ruleset. Let's just say everyone is using 15 ups, and there we go.
I appreciate the work you did on this tourney - it is just too complicated for having only 48 hours to build decks (and having holidays, too).

Where's Mudkip?

Any info on the final rules?

[Submachine]

It is too late to change anything, so we will attempt to go with the original rules.

I will be late, but the tournament will happen. If anyone has the means, brackets can be created ahead of time, even if it’s Single Elim.

Mathman couldn't arrive on time, so we had to go on without him.
