Pokémon Online Tournament
Event start time 5.10.2020 17:00
Event end time 6.11.2020 18:00
Last semester, we had a pilot project of a Pokémon Online Tournament and after its success, I decided to bring the tournament again. It's also a way to entertain you a little during the semester.
The tournament lasts for a month, which is a deterrent at first. The Pokémon Battles last 10 minutes on average. So that's not too much time for the participants.
For the tournament we use:
Pokémon Showdown (https://pokemonshowdown.com/), a web application that requires no login. However, it is recommended that you create an account so that you can save Pokémon teams and it will be important for match-making. All you need is a pseudonym and a password, but no email or other private information.
Google Sheets for the dates, because I didn't have time to learn about a fancy tournament tool. The sheet only contains your pseudonyms and when you will play against whom.
