VERY IMPORTANT UPDATE - PLEASE READ


We are going to be making some changes in ASB after careful consideration. These will most likely be trial changes, and their implementation in the future will depend on how they work over the next month.


Reffing Rewards

Normally a free catch or evolution is rewarded to a ref who completes the following number of finished battles:

Rookie: 5 battles
Intermediate: 4 battles
Experienced: 4 battles
Master: 3 battles

This will be changed in the future because we feel that it is too easy to be deemed a 'reward'. They seem to lose their initial charm if it is easier to accomplish. Therefore for each reffing status, you will need to ref one more completed match:

Rookie: 6 battles
Intermediate: 5 battles
Experienced: 5 battles
Master: 4 battles
Head Refs: 3 battles

This post will also be made in the reffing tower. MAKE SURE YOU READ THIS. Not knowing these is not an excuse.


Battle Capacity

Normally you are able to compete in 3 battles at once. We have decided that, on trial, this will be extended to 4 battles at any one time. We feel that some matches can take a long time, and having four will not do any initial harm. Obviously after a month we will review this, and if it is sucessful it will keep going. If not, it will be scrapped.


X-Round Matches

Recently, following the tournament, matches have been established which last for 5 or 6 rounds in length. These have now been banned as they are unfair to use as battle EXP or a finished reffing. The minimum amount of rounds will now be 10.

Thank you
