because the sheer number can cause people to forget certain things. especially if one user misses a round and you didn't immediately pick up on it to get the things they normally save. and especially in a round like this where i thought i would have been able to get a 4th set of saves but wasn't. ---
lol all those attempted Zapdos saves after the round was over. kinda like Tentacruel yesterday.
you know, for a gigantic contest like this i could almost see a built-in rule that allows for stuff in that situation not to get eliminated. like, instead of how it is now, you could have the bottom 30 up for elimination and then the 5 of those 30 that reach 3 saves first actually isn't eliminated. creates more work but "truer" results. ---
