Hello Everyone,

I will be hosting my second pokemon tournament next weekend on Saturday at 7:30 Eastern! Since we had a great turnout for the last tournament we will be hosting another. I had a lot of requests for a team tournament after the last tournament, so I have set up this one in response.

The rules for the tournament will be as follows

--------------------------------------------------------

- OU, Gen 5 and lower (no X and Y)

- Single Elimination

- Best of 3 series Best of 1 except for the finals match!

- We will run with standard item blocks

- We will use PokemonShowdown.com as our format. Make your teams there and practice on that site.

- You will use one team for the whole tournament. No spectating other players matches and getting their team info!

-------------------------------------------------------

Prize Pool: NO BUY IN. YOU CAN PLAY FOR FREE.

CURRENTLY (10/21)

1st place: 35 keys

2nd place: 20 keys

3rd place: 12 keys

Donations are appreciated! (Thanks dota2casino for a massive donation!)

Please contact me if you have any questions. We will use the same mumble as last tournament. I will post info as the date gets closer.

Great video Rusty. Did Cat edit for you rusty?

Wow, a lot of the items you guys are mentioning are not used in platinum play. I can't speak for most of the teams below platinum, but I have personally never seen players use something like the FoN in a match. While its true that we will get the occasional sydney sleepr, unlock abuse has never been a huge issue in upper platinum.

I guess because I have only played HL in my time in TF2 I think it is not very chaotic, but I can understand why a 6s player would think so.

Do yourself a favor and don't do the player rankings part. Entitled players just bitch at you for several weeks after.

decided im not going to play 6s. Thanks for everyone that pm'd me about tryouts. I think I will just chill out and pug or what not.

Is...is this a current team? Is this still happening?

Hey, yea I am. Man, that was such a long time ago. Nice to see you again.

bumping 10 char

Wow, that looks like an awful idea. The guy who made that obviously isn't an engineer.

That thing has "driver could not be found" written all over it.

bumping once again

I don't see how that is a problem at all. The amount of extra data that memory pointers use is negligable compared to the benefits of 64 bit processing over 32 bit.

There is a misconception that 64bit systems use twice the memory as 32 bit, which is a little silly.

Had lots of offers/tryouts so far. Bumping once more.

Not sure how this deadline thing works, but I can assume adding me is better sooner than later.

64-bit architecture has a lot of other benefits than just allowing a device to have more than 4GB of RAM. The M7 has features specific to itself as well, considering it can calculate motion and sensor data without actually waking the processor up. That kind of processing would drastically reduce screen off time, theoretically speaking of course. Most important than all of this of course is the potential market shift back to co-processors. Should be pretty interesting.

Also, do you have any sourcing to suggest that 64 bit architecture runs slower is more resource intensive than 32 bit architecture? I haven't come across this in any of my classes. In fact, much of what I know suggests otherwise.
