Tournament rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations, which can be found here.
  • Smogon Classic II rules, which can be read here.
  • and RBY OU tier's ruleset, which can be studied here.
  • Tournament will be single elimination.
  • Matches will be best of three.
  • Battles will take place on Pokemon Showdown (Pokémon Online if both players agree)
Identity

I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.

Scouting

Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting, whether it be spying on another teams irc channel or following your opponent around on PO. There is a difference between "ipl is known for using stall" and "let me follow ipl around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter.

With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.

Timer Clause

As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.

Disconnections

If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.

I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

g1 I got p unlucky at the end, g2 I got lucky at midgame but a freeze from Blizzard gave Marco the win
ggs, our games are never clean but it's that game's fault I suppose

Yeah, I got luckier at the end, but I had terrible starts too: you would've won at least one of those games had you sent the proper pokemon after my late game KOs, especially in game 2 where that matchup was really easy once all of my normal types were dealt with by "some way or another".
On my side, I possibly should've tried that (16/39 - CH chance) Selfdestruct against Zapdos: one never plays really perfectly.
GGs even though, yeah, definitely not clean.
 
g1 I tried to get a ch/para with tauros in 2 tries, I didnt get anything, it happens. g2 at the end it was all a matter if Starmie could freeze/crit Zapdos, I sent my bull before sending Zap because I tried to para it with slam but got a para instead (maybe Snorlax could para it too with the 2 slams in early game). hard to see a clean game in pkmn and in this gen especially, 1 was meant to be more lucky at some points or in others. ggs
