Smogon Tournament Rules (for reference)
Introduction:
I am sure all of you have been defeated at the hands of Scizor's insanely strong Bullet Punch before. You've probably been slammed for ridiculous amounts of damage by Specs Latias' Draco Meteor before. You've probably thrown your mouse at your keyboard in frustration as +6 Crocune takes out your entire team with Surf.
Now how would you feel if no STAB attacking moves were allowed?

WELCOME TO THE noSTAB TOURNAMENT!
Introduction:
I am sure all of you have been defeated at the hands of Scizor's insanely strong Bullet Punch before. You've probably been slammed for ridiculous amounts of damage by Specs Latias' Draco Meteor before. You've probably thrown your mouse at your keyboard in frustration as +6 Crocune takes out your entire team with Surf.
Now how would you feel if no STAB attacking moves were allowed?
Standard Battling Rules:
- Evasion Clause
- Sleep Clause
- Freeze Clause
- OHKO Clause
- Species Clause
- Timed Battle
- Anything that is banned from the OU ladder at the beginning of round 1 (Ubers and OU Suspects) will be banned from the entire tournament.
- Logs are optional as long as both players confirm the result.
- No scouting. Spectating is allowed, but if the players ask you to leave please do so.
- Single elimination tournament.
- Reporting the score is mandatory for the entire tournament. There's a reason for this, trust me ;)
- STAB attacking moves are not allowed. For instance, this means that Salamence can use Dragon Dance, but it cannot use Outrage. Hidden Power is considered whatever type it is, not Normal-type like it is usually considered; for instance Salamence cannot use Hidden Power Dragon but Lickilicky can use it.
- Pokemon and moves that can change types during the battle are banned. This includes Kecleon, Castform, etc. (like anybody was going to use them...)
- Each round will last 2 weeks; extensions will last around 3 days if both parties have shown activity.
- Please make activity posts around every 4-5 days or so. If you do not do so I will sub you out.
- This will be a 64-man tournament. First 64 to post "in" will be in as long as they have 25+ posts at the time of signup. If you have less than 25 posts, you can still sign up but you will be a substitute.
