Like Venser said, the official tournaments for 2010 have long been over. The next ones don't start until May 2011. So what you're going to cannot possibly be an official event with hack checking DSis.

Basically there is where you'd put teams besides OU.
You could also post it on Skarmbliss, but since it's the VGC "off-season" right now, most people probably won't feel like rating it...
oh darn :X
Then can i a some simple question about the VGC metagame (2010)?
Unless there's a thread about information like this...
What are popular combinations in the VGC that i have to watch out for? (like Topogre or something.)
-What makes them so effective?
-How can i counter it?

In 2008 and 2009, Japan had their qualifiers in autumn 07 / 08 respectively and their national championship was held in early May, so they had an advantage in time of almost 2 months compared to the US. In 2010 they had Nationals in the first week of July, which is almost identical with the date of 2010's US nats (ok, 2 weeks but anyway).
This tricks me into thinking that Pokemon Japan and the PCI want to align their qualifiers and nationals respectively, i.e. want them to be held at approximately the same time.
Furthermore, I believe that Europe could get some kind of European Championships as well, so that you can qualify for the Euro Tournament in several countries, then get to European Championships where you can win the trip to Worlds.

2 Questions...
1. Will 2011 VGCs be held in Triple Battles/Rotation Battles???
2. Are you allowed to use traded pokemon from japanese games on amarican game cards???

Banned deucer.
Do we have ANY word on rules or whether or not there are Japanese players on forums?

"Pokemon should be Level 50. Pokemon higher than that will be lowered to 50, but Pokemon Level 49 and below will remain the same level."
From the rules themself.

Use Acrobat, it's better than Aerial Ace with flight jewel.
Question about how this works
Ive read some warstories around here and am curious
For the first rounds is it just one game of 4 v 4?
or is it best 2 out of three?
