Round 1
Thanks to the slight extension, all but one battle was done. I'm disappointed LN vs SDS didn't happen, and from what I heard I'm gonna have to advance SDS here, sorry Ronery...
Round 2 Pairings
Heysup vs KnightoftheWind
Zystral vs gmax
BunnyMaster vs SevenDeadlySins
misdreavus vs Mekkah
Remember it's bo3!
Deadline is July 7th. That's roughly the same time as round 1, which is generous since you should all have working decks now!

I got every single one of them wrong last time.
Heysup vs KnightoftheWind (the guy who beat chris vs the guy who beat deck)
Zystral vs gmax (gmax keeps getting the worst match-ups)
BunnyMaster vs SevenDeadlySins
misdreavus vs Mekkah (good luck)

However, before you join, you absolutely need:
1. Redshark, the simulator we will be using.
2. Hamachi, a tool you need to connect to other players over the internet.
Elaborate instructions on the technical side of things come with Redshark in the form of a great Help file. If you need help getting things to work, testing them out, etc, join us in #warau on synIRC!
Now, the tournament rules. We will be playing in the format I like the most, called NeoTRGym, or sometimes "Modified" though it may not be 100% true to the real tournament rules of Modified, not even back in that day. The only legal cards are from the following sets as listed on PokeBeach:
Classic - Team Rocket
Gym - Gym Challenge
Gym - Gym Heroes
Neo - Neo Genesis
Neo - Neo Discovery
Neo - Neo Relevation
Neo - Neo Destiny
Sneasel (Neo Genesis) is banned, due to its insane speed and power.
Slowking (Neo Genesis) is "fixed" through errata, since the English version is broken, and mistranslated. The Pokémon Power Mind Games should be treated as following: If Slowking is your Active Pokémon, whenever your opponent plays a Trainer Card, you may flip a coin. If heads, that card does nothing. Put it on top of your opponent's deck. This power can't be used if Slowking is Asleep, Confused or Paralyzed. In other words, Slowking has to be Active for its power to work, so no more stacking them.
This tournament will be Single Elimination. Due to the large luck factor (hello Breeder Fields, Babies and Focus Band), the matches will be played out in Best out of Three. You do not need to play the third match if one player wins the first two. You're allowed to change decks as often as you wish between games and rounds.
Due to the way the simulator works, we rely a lot on the honesty and goodwill of all players involved. Please do not abuse this reliance. Be a good sport when solving problems and disputes, contact me if needed. We will use the Compendium when in doubt about a card's rulings.
Here's to a great tournament, and many to come!
