re: shiloh vs SuperEpicAmpharos

SuperEpicAmpharos had two Pokémon with Baton Pass on their team during the game, which is banned by the Baton Pass Clause as per this post. However, the clause was not implemented in the simulator, and no mention of it was available in the ADV PU resources before today.
As a result, the outcome of the game will remain unchanged. Furthermore, until the clause is properly implemented in the simulator, any abuse will be sanctioned by a loss.

 

[Theia]

re: Staxi

Staxi has failed to meet the minimum activity requirements expected of team tournament participation and has been sold back. Haunter x Haunter have chosen BigFatMantis as a replacement.

 

[Theia]

re: Lily vs Jisoo

Both players agreed not to play. As a result, this is a dead game.

 

[Vertigo]

re: Lilligant

Lilligant was banned from SV PU. As this ban happened prior to Week Three going up, Lilligant will be illegal during Week Three of PUPL IX. Bringing a banned Pokemon will result in forfeiting that game.

 

[Vertigo]

re: Arcobaleno/Oathkeeper vs soulgazer

Arcobaleno missed the scheduled time, and while the Joe Bidoofs provided a substitute in Oathkeeper, they failed to contact soulgazer in time. As a result, soulgazer is granted the activity win.

 

[Theia]

re: August Tier Shifts

Because August tier shifts occurred after the start of Week Five, they will not be legal until Week Six of PUPL IX. Week Five games must be played in the pre-shift metagme.

 

[Vertigo]

re: SuperEpicAmpharos vs Lily

Both players agreed not to play. As a result, this is a dead game.

 

[Vertigo]

re: Week Six Activity Calls

robjr vs mncmt

mncmt refused to schedule with robjr and the Joe Bidoofs could not provide a substitute. As a result, robjr is granted the activity win.

Punny vs oversway

Punny failed to show up at scheduled time and The Twinkatuffs failed to provide a substitute. As a result, oversway is granted the activity win.

JabbaTheGriffin vs Estarossa / TSR vs Xrn / DAHLI vs pdt / Shiox vs siras / fakenagol vs Liz Angeles

Neither a win nor activity was claimed, so all of these are dead games.

 

[Theia]

re: Week Seven Activity Calls

Togkey vs gorex
Togkey gave gorex the win and Dave's Doublades had no subs available. Forfeit win is awarded to gorex.

Irene-2002 vs spellcaster, Ryuji vs Shiox, Heysup vs yandaud, DugZa vs Punny
spellcaster, Shiox, Heysup, and Punny all failed to properly schedule their games or respond to scheduling and The Twinkatuffs provided no subs. Irene-2002, Ryuji, yandaud, and DugZa are granted the activity wins.

tlenit vs clean
clean was unable to make the scheduled time and the Destructive Dedennes did not provide a substitute. tlenit is granted the activity win.

Feaniix vs soulgazer, TSR vs Feliburn, avarice vs MZ, dunoks vs blinkboy, Meru vs pdt
No win or act was claimed for any of these games, so all of them are dead games.
