Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

I've played 50+ battles and had probably less than 10 disconnections so far. I can't help but think that those with 50+ disconnections is due to some extent to their connection. Maybe try sitting in a different location in the house? Closer to the router maybe? Maybe that might help.
But over 50 disconnections is absurd.

Good Game Enfusion, mind of I post our battle after the tourney is over?
How is Babbytron doing?
No, I don't mind at all. I'm glad I finally recognized someone from Smogon, haha. So far, the only users from this thread that I have battled have been Span and you.
oh, I played you. First smogon user I battled lol. Didn't really pay attention to the screen when you can see names etc. What was your rating? gg man
Nejiki from California. I had 1666 when it was last updated, but it should be slightly higher from today's battles.

They DC'd on me too. It could have been a legitimate wifi DC, but it seems extraordinarily suspicious to me that a person's wifi would disappear at the moment their last mon gets 4/0'd and the win/lose screen starts to pop up.
Wow I just had a repectable opponent (Think there name was David and they're using a rain team) forfeit when there Ludicolo went against my Dragonite and Garchomp. If this was someone from this site total props.
I think I've played the least # of matches so far,like 15.
Yes. Every time it happened though I soon got a connection error, so try reconnecting and trying again.
I haven't been getting any errors. It just sits on "Searching for opponent..." I tried disconnecting manually and reconnecting a couple of times, but no dice. I'm just letting it sit now to see if it ever finds someone. It's been running for about 25 minutes or so at this point. :-/
EDIT: Of course as soon as I typed this I found an opponent. XD
Yeah I get long search times for opponents too. I think it may be because either A) The Nintendo servers suck for wifi(Most likely) or B) Too many people online
I think it's letter C) All of the above
Bonta from Chile just disconnected after I defeated him 4-0. He had a 1693 rating, which was higher than mine. Just when I thought I was going to get a major boost. -__-
Disconnections on the whole makes this tournament and other WiFi tournaments useless. The players that actually do put in the work and does a countless number of battles get the most disconnects and gets booted from the tournament when they put in the most hours. I guess this tournament is more for the practice than it is for the actual rankings itself.

Yeah Im almost ready to give up on rankings despite my 1800's points. Soo many freakin dc's and now battles take like 20 somethin minutes to find.
Really don't chime in that much on the main forums here, but isn't really that the point of this? To take and field test something? I think we all take this way too seriously sometimes, including myself. I think this was made to be a warm-up to the in-person events and if you have something that doesn't work, either fix it beforehand or not go altogether.

I think it's a chance to try out your team from your own home against players from all around the world, and I think that in that regard it is a competitive tournament, not just a warm-up. Some people can't go to the VGC events this year and this is a chance for them to try out the metagame*. I've noticed a big step-up in quality today now that some of the less serious players have given up, and I'm seeing great teams and prediction from 1550s. And I will have, and do already have, huge respect for those coming out with the highest rankings, taking on such a diverse range of teams and coming out on top over 90% of the time.
*(cynics, read: to keep them interested in Pokémon so that they want to compete in VGC13 and buy BW2 in the process. Which tbh is probably the reason TPCi have in mind. But I like to pretend that it's not =] )
