    • i literally gave like 5 answers to this before but i see how it is, i'll be a bit more direct i guess and make sure to include approximately nothing i mentioned before:
      • crossing over cutesy anime openings with rap songs
      • MLG/iluminati stuff
      • various things from the misadventures of skooks
      • pretty much anything from Mean Girls
      • emoticon usage so gratuitous that it dissolves the line between real and ironic

    Week 10 - Tier Shift (I'll make it pretty later)

    Oh I did forget about that. Apologies

    If Amazon loses, Avalon is in if they can get 1 win even in losing, Atlantis is in if they can get two wins even in losing.

    I'm confused by this though because one of Avalon or Atlantis will definitely be in the Championship round - so why would Amazon losing matter? (Sorry my question isn't in green. I'm on mobile right now)

    Alright, Say Amazon Loses (3-4)

    Atlantis Wins, Avalon Loses (2-5)

    Atlantis (7-3)

    Avalon (6-4)

    Amazon (6-4)

    Avalon and Amazon would then go to the first tie breaker which is total number of wins in all combined weeks. Avalon would have 38 and Amazon would have 36. Hence, as a whole Avalon has slightly outperformed Amazon throughout the course of the competition. If Amazon wins, The top two teams are 7-3. With two championship spots, there'd be no need to tie break who gets in.

    That's not fair at all. Also, it appears some of the nations were unaware of the Week 11 until this week. Can we have a public poll by the nation leaders for this one specific situation? If it's a legitimate tie, it's one thing to settle it in a championship series, but if there's a clear winner, why are you discrediting their victory?

    #PUBLICVOTEONWEEK11

    It's not my fault they didn't read up on everything. It was stated in the Nations Announcement thread. I'm not changing the rules because some people chose to remain ignorant on the matter. It is in no way unfair. I've already stated multiple reasons as to why it is this way. There will be no poll. You can ask your nation rep FraRPetO. This has always been the way things are.

    I do not believe that is an answer, as it simply states it is that way because it is.

    Also, that is not the answer to the question stated. In the hypothetical scenario given, Atlantis is the top team, at first place, with 7-3, while no other Nation has the same record, with two Nations at 6-4 in said scenario. As such, there is no team sharing the space with Atlantis. And even then, in this case, there cannot be a top two, since one Nation will be at the top, and two Nations will share the place after, rendering it to a top three. If you tie break the two third place teams, then why can't you tie break the first and new "second" place team by total wins. The championship is more a formality you'd like to have, but with the delay of a week and a week break, people now are gonna have to choose between real life and school starting up and pokenations, which there's obviously a need to take care of the prior more than the later. Week 11 seems like a poor rule to uphold when others such as consecutive battling and hard caps to weeks seem to have been cast to the dogs and forgotten. And I'm just pointing out, that although you might not budge, the nations just might choose not to listen.

    Look at what I had posted before.

    The Championship series is NOT a tie breaker, it is the Championship series. It's how the competition was designed. This would have been the case even if the first place team was 10-0 and 2nd place was 6-4. It's to keep interest rolling amongst more nations throughout the entirety of the competition and makes things all around more exciting for all.

    This is not 'unfair' as it was stated in the rules all along.

    But it is still extremely unfair for the nation who ends up with the more number of weeks won. School is starting soon too so it will be hard for some of the players to participate or prepare.

    ...and I'm pretty sure I recall seeing that even when a tie occurs, the nation with the more overall wins will take the crown.

    That's the tie breaker for the entry to the championship match.

    I'm not budging on this.

    This competition will go on for 10 weeks. At the end, the two Nations with the most wins will go head to head in the Championship series to determine the overall winner of PokéNations!

    Okay, there are currently 3 teams tied for first right now at 6-3. It's guaranteed one of these nations will be 7-3 because Avalon and Atlantis face each other this week, who are both 6-3. Say Atlantis wins; they're now 7-3. If Amazon (6-3) loses this week to Gaia, they and Avalon will be 6-4 while Atlantis is 7-3. From the explanation at the first post, Atlantis will have to face one of the 6-4 teams in a championship, where they can lose the entire event to a team they had clearly beaten.

    I don't understand why a championship series would happen instead of nations simply ending.

    Also from articles I've read, Shedinja is supposed to get the HP boost.

    Because that's the way this competition has been formatted from the start. The top two teams face off in a championship week. You can read back on all of the original threads when this began, it should be in there somewhere. It's essentially playoffs, only between the top two teams.

    It gets the boost.

    No, it doesn't, we specifically tested this.

    If one of the leading nations is 7-3 and the other two are 6-3 at the end of week 10, why does the nation that won the 10 week event have to face a team that is a loss down in the championship? Will there be compensation for this to the team with the win advantage? Is it a possibility to cancel the championship series in this scenario?

    I don't understand your question.
