SEASON 3 BEGINS THIS COMING FRIDAY, AUGUST 11TH. Now that bearzly has claimed his place as an IML Champion, it's time to begin a fresh new season with many new challengers and much more suspense. As far as season 3 goes, there are a few things that need to be noted:

The International Mod League (IML) consists of various Pokemon tournaments each week. The tournaments will be held every Friday on AA's Mod Server at 11pm EST (Signups will begin promptly at 10:30 EST) and every Saturday at 6pm EST (Signups at 5:30 EST). Each tournament will have a representative (usually a server regular) appointed to host the tournament to keep any confusion out. Signup topics will be made on the forums and the link will be distributed on the server. The tournament metagames include:

- Standard Mod
- Uber Mod
- 2v2 Mod
- Standard RBY
- Standard GSC
- Standard RS
- RS 200/RBY UU/GSC UU/RS UU (Special Week)

There will be a 12-week season in which the first 10 weeks will consist of 20 tournaments (10 per time). At the end of the 10th week, the top 8 players in the standings will move into a Championship Tournament where the metagames will be picked at random (One round will always have to end up as Standard Mod). The 11th week will consist of the Quarterfinals and the 12th week will consist of the Semifinals and Finals. There is a 50% participation clause on the Championship Tournament as well, so you will have to play at least 5 out of the 10 weeks in order to qualify. The schedule goes as follows:

  • Week 1 : Standard Mod (Fri. 8/11 & Sat. 8/12)
  • Week 2 : RBY (Fri. 8/18 & Sat. 8/19)
  • Week 3 : Uber Mod (Fri. 8/25 & Sat. 8/26)
  • Week 4 : 2v2 Mod (Fri. 9/1 & Sat. 9/2)
  • Week 5 : GSC (Fri. 9/8 &Sat. 9/9)
  • Week 6 : Standard Mod (Fri. 9/15 & Sat. 9/16)
  • Week 7 : Special Week (Fri. 9/22 & Sat. 9/23)
  • Week 8 : RS (Fri. 9/29 & Sat. 9/30)
  • Week 9 : Uber Mod (Fri. 10/6 & Sat. 10/7)
  • Week 10 : Standard Mod (Fri 10/13 & Sat. 10/14)
  • Week 11 : Championship Tournament Quarterfinals (Week of 10/15 - 10/21)
  • Week 12 : Championship Tournament Semis and Finals (Week of 10/22 - 10/28)
The point system varies depending on the metagame. Each metagame will have its points distributed as such:

  • 1st Place = 7 Points
  • 2nd Place = 5 Points
  • 3rd and 4th Place = 3 Points (Note that 3rd and 4th place will only recieve points if they won a previous round)
  • 5th-8th place = 1 Point (Note that 5th through 8th place will only recieve points if they won a previous round)
However, each metagame carries its own multiplier:

  • Standard = Total x 4
  • Uber = Total x 3
  • Non-Modded metagames = Total x 2
Therefore a person winning a Standard Mod tournament will recieve 7 points times the multiplier 4, which gives them 28 points. That point total differs from one who wins a Non-Modded tournament, in wich the winner will only recieve 7 points times the multiplier 2, which gives them a mere 14 points. This puts more emphasis on winning the tougher mod tournaments, but also keeps points close so that no one player can run away from the field with just a few wins. This also means you won't get points for just showing up for a tournament.

Only the top score of each player during that week will count, so everyone has a fair chance. Points will also be restarted at the end of each season so that multiple players have a chance to get into the next Championship Tournament. Your season and yearly point total will be shown in the standings, though only the season points really count.

- If any tournament consists of 4 players, ONLY the top 2 players will recieve points (This is really rare though). You don't get points for just participating.

- If any tournament consists of 8 players, ONLY the top 4 players will recieve points, meaning you have to get to the semifinals to get anything. Again, you don't get points for just participating.

- If any tournament consists of 6 people, ONLY the top 3 people will recieve points. You don't get points for showing up. A round robin will occur, in which the outcome must be 2-0, 1-1, 0-2. Therefore, if player 1 beats both player 2 and player 3, then 2 and 3 must battle for 3rd place. In the event of a 3 way tie, the battles must be replayed until a clear winner is decided.

- If any tournament or round consists of an odd number of people, rules determining points change:

  • 5 People - Using the letters A-E, we have 5 people.
    Round 1:
    A vs. B
    C vs. D vs. E

    C vs. D
    C vs. E

    The winner of the round robin will move on to the finals.

    Finals:
    B vs. C

    Note that if there are 10 people playing instead of 5, then A, D and E would recieve 3rd/4th place points.

  • 7 People - Using the letters A-G as examples, we have 7 people.
    Round 1:
    A vs. B
    C vs. D
    E vs. F vs. G

    The top 2 recordholders from the round robin will move on to the semifinals.

    Round 2:
    A vs. E
    G vs. C

    Finals:
    A vs. G
  • 9 People - Using the letters A-I, we have 9 people.
    Round 1:
    A vs. B
    C vs. D
    E vs. F
    G vs. H vs. I

    G vs. H
    G vs. I

    The winner of the round robin will move on to the semifinals.

    Round 2:
    A vs. G
    D vs. F

    Finals:
    A vs. F

  • 11 People - Using the letters A-K, we have 11 people.
    Round 1:
    A vs. B
    C vs. D vs. E
    F vs. G vs. H
    I vs. J vs. K

    The winners of the round robins will move on to the semifinals.

    Round 2:
    B vs. H
    D vs. I

    Finals:
    H vs. I
  • 13 People - Using the letters A-M, we have 13 people.
    Round 1:
    A vs. B
    C vs. D
    E vs. F vs. G
    H vs. I vs. J
    K vs. L vs. M

    The top 2 recordholders from each round robin will move on.

    Round 2:
    B vs. H
    C vs. K
    G vs. L
    F vs. J

    Round 3:
    B vs. J
    K vs. L

    Finals:
    J vs. L

  • 15 People - Using the letters A-O, we have 15 people.
    Round 1:
    A vs. B
    C vs. D
    E vs. F
    G vs. H
    I vs. J
    K vs L
    M vs. N vs. O

    The top 2 recordholders of the round robin will move on.

    Round 2:
    A vs. C
    F vs. O
    G vs. J
    K vs. N

    Round 3:
    A vs. K
    O vs. J

    Finals:
    O vs. K

IMO Stadium mode needs to be introduced at some point, maybe as special week. Just make all matches best out of 3 or 5, to make up for the shorter rounds.
