    Background:

    Things were looking rough for the residents of the URPG isles. The population had been ebbing and flowing, just like the waves that surrounded the very islands that protected them, for quite some time. The dark lord Pifhr had morales at a low with widespread poverty, starvation and diseases running rampant. Eventually, together, the islanders rebelled. Pifhr was defeated. The dark clouds dissipated and a democracy swept through the isles, bringing equality. Everyone received equal food rations, an equal say in the running of the island, and more importantly, 100 Star Chips was given to everyone.

    However, in a world where everyone is equal, some strive to be more equal than others. A group of the islanders decided to run an underground gambling ring, with illegal Pokemon fights. Star Chips were wagered, lost, and even won. When someone ran out of SC, they were not deemed worthy and eliminated by the other island members. With more Star Chips came more power. More say... Control. The elite would soon form - the 8 richest and most proficient trainers would soon rise. They would wager it all in a bracket-style tournament to earn their position and of course... freedom, or so they say.

    This is Duel Peninsula.

    General Rules
    • You are given 1 week (168 hours) to sign up.
    • You must keep track of how many star chips you have. You must also keep this updated. Inaccurate records are not tolerated
    • You must use AIM, Skype, or IRC. Forum battles are not allowed
    • Tournament lasts four weeks (28 days).
    • You must separate your star chip gains and losses by week
    • When signing up, please create your stat post on this thread. A sample one will be provided.

    Battles
    • All battles will be done with these rules
    • 4v4 and up
    • X/Y Private Preview
    • Helds on
    • SLP/FRZ/OHKO/Evasion/Accuracy/Legend Clauses
    • Payments are $500 extra for all parties
    • To refs: please log these battles in the log thread as soon as possible as they may be needed for proof of challenges.
    • Also to refs: I will pay these wages myself at the end of the week
    • If stats are saved, the battle must be finished by the end of the week. If not, the ref should PM them to me or Monbrey and a winner will be declared from the appearance of the stats or the battle may be called no contest.


    Wagers
    • The person that is challenged (who will now be referred to as the target) decides how many Star Chips (which will now be referred to as SC from now on) will be wagered right after the rules are stated
    • You must wager a whole number of SC (you can't wager 55.4325 SC)
    • The minimum amount that can be wagered is 25% of the challenger's amount of SC
    • The maximum amount that can be wagered is 50% of the challenger's amount of SC
    • Round down to the nearest whole number if the minimum is not whole and round up if the same applies to the maximum
    • If the minimum amount is greater than the amount the target has, he/she must wager all of his/her SC instead
    • For the purpose of finding minimum/maximum wagers, If you must leave during a battle and stats are saved, the star chips wagered are "held" and are not counted in either combatant's star chip total.
    • If you have 0 SC, you are out of the tournament
    • The 8 players with the highest running SC count will be entered in a single-elimination Bracket
    • You have to have battled at least once to be eligible for the Bracket

    Challenges
    • A person may only battle another person once in the tournament week
    • Avoiding or denying challenges an unreasonable amount will result in SC deduction
    • Avoiding the tournament as a whole and hoarding your starting star chips is considered avoiding challenges. Do not sign up if you will not be available during any of the weeks.
    • If you have already battled three times during the day (a new day starts at the time this post was made), you can refuse a challenge if you provide proof you battled three times to your challenger through battle logs


    Prizes (subject to change depending on participants)

    4th: Medium or lower Pokemon
    3rd: Hard or lower Pokemon
    2nd: Complex or lower Pokemon
    1st: Demanding or lower Pokemon + escape from the Duel Peninsula

    @Elamite ; update yo last battle !


    Rnkings updated, check post #2 for placements

    Round ends in like 24 hoursish

    Any suggestions for battle conditions for next week let me know ! I was thinking seeing if the terrain when setting the battle rules could have gravity, trick room, electric terrain, grassy terrain or misty terrain as possible options if people like/approve ;o
