Race results!

What a race it's been! The races are usually fast paced but with the inclusion of ice patches it meant there quite a few more slip ups than usual. Just goes to show slow and steady wins the race. That and a whole load of Oran Berries as we shall see. Let's go through the results and work out who's claimed the glory of victory.

1st place goes to...

Marchbaby

What a win this was. Despite the threat of ice looming in the distance to potentially spoil racer's chances, Marchbaby prevailed and even had his Rhyhorn take advantage of a serious Oran combo right at the end, pushing him well into 1st place. He may not have been the "first" to reach 100 but he was the first to do so without any disqualifications. An important example of it never being too late to join in the race and still having a shot at the coveted 1st place. March! You're this race's winner and the proud owner of Icicle Crash Swinub! Congratulations! Future 1st place winnings will result in a Skiddo and then 3RT thereafter providing there are no special event Pokémon being handed out.

2nd place to...

Megan

Despite late off at the beginning and not quite mustering 100 points, you still come in 2nd place on the sheer virtue you made no mistakes. Another reminder playing it safe can work. Enjoy your 2RT! 

And last but not least, 3rd place to...

No one!

Sadly due to how many people got iced, it meant there was no clear 3rd place victory. We also had a few racers who failed to get in a post and participate despite having signed up which is a shame as this would've netted you 1RT. Again, can't stress this enough, even if you feel the race has already been decided, it's still worth getting in some posts in the event of any disqualifications. As i'm sure all our racers can attest, the event is chaotic and it's anyone's game.

The following list also highlights the thread page where disqualifications rose for the other racers and a short explanation as to why.

Lin disqualified - Failing to add +5 total.
Karin disqualified - Iced/Miscalculation.
Tiki disqualified - Iced/Miscalculation.
Mystery disqualified - Failing to add +5 total..

If you feel this is incorrect or would like to disagree, you are more than welcome to PM myself to discuss.

We hope you all enjoyed this themed seasonal race and want to thank you all for participating and making it a success. This will be returning at the end of this month, signs ups to begin around the final week of January and the race to start early February, so we hope you join us all then!

Holy sweet Arceus on the moon with firecrackers and atomic bombs I cannot believe I won. Kamikaze will be having a few babies now thanks to that egg move. Congratulations to Megan for her second place finish. This sure was a crazy race and that Oran Berry minefield was just unbelievable and I am glad I went with my gut and claimed them. As for my prize here is the code:





Swinub
Name: Apocalypse 
Gender: Male
Level: 5
Attacks: Tackle, Odour Sleuth, Mud Sport, Icicle Crash^EM
Ability: Snow Cloak
Nature/Personality: Adamant
Apocalypse is a very aggressive Swinub for his age mostly due to his special move that he acquired from his parents. He is a known lady charmer with a particular love interest with Kamikaze. Even with her size and strength advantages he still keeps trying to impress her hoping to become her mate. In battle he loves to rely on Icicle Crash as it is such a devastating move that he hopes to pass down to any kids he may have one day.
