Second tiebreaker, .51%. Craziness. I wish there was some way to have more perfect cuts...

What exactly is a barrel roll? I've read Nick's sig, but I still don't get it. What does the character do and how do you make them do it? Or is it all a joke?
 
Use the boost to get thru!

A few months ago, I started a thread about tiebreakers used in Pokemon Organized Play. Not a lot of people were interested, but if you have any ideas...

I think there are problems and they should be addressed. Why should anyone have to go completely undefeated to guarantee himself a chance at first place (for those who weren't there, one of the 3-1 players in the Masters didn't make it so singe elim)? I think the problem lies in the existence of single elimination, but perhaps there are some reforms that can be made as far as the tiebreakers themselves.

DON'T POST IN THAT TOPIC!!

Nick gave the same link to me, I posted in it, and got an infraction, because the topic was so old.

Ahhh 2 garde/gallade decks in top 2! Tough decks to beat.

Ya, they are hard....

I could have probably beaten it in the 3rd battle, but all my Delcattys where prized. :mad:

Sorry I couldn't be there - it worked out okay, though, because I can't stand playing cross-division matches. See you guys in Glen Burnie for States...

Peppy Hare commands you to press Z or R twice, and then you do it. Get with the times.
 
Starfox 64 is the only game where you can legally do a barrel roll. If Peppy Hare in his Starfox 64 incarnation does not give you permission to do a barrel roll, then you'd better not be rolling that barrel.
 
So, does anyone remember what anyone in the Seniors or Juniors was playing, cos I was focused on the Masters (judged the top 4 in the Masters while Ryan did the Seniors)? I need to keep better records/remember to record this stuff- I even forgot what Pablo was playing.:redface:
