Hi, I'm new to these boards and I have a question. I checked the thread titled "all you need to know about smogon tournaments" but the link did not work. How does this whole "online" tournament thing work, and I register the day before, but how? Sorry, I really want to compete but I'm confused and I would appreciate anyone to explain to me how the tourney works and what I need to do to enter.

Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.

Well at the moment the main website is unfinished I think, so that's why the link doesn't work.
There will be a sign ups thread posted sometime in the near future, though I'm not sure on the date yet since that hasn't been stated. On the sign up thread, you'd just have to post saying that you want to be in the Tournament, and you're in. That's how it works.
For Wi-Fi tournaments however, you'll need to use IRC chat to compete (not to sign up). I'm sure one of the mods can help you with that.

Um, yeah, I used the Everstone trick. Didn't help that the best Eevee I got in the second gen using an Everstone (28/21/28/28/31/x) was lonely instead of the bold I wanted. They improved the breeding methods, sure, but 50% of having right nature * 50% of having right ability (if applicable) * low ass chance of getting 4-5 good IVs, even with good parents = a low percentage in the best circumstances.

get well soon jacoby..
I'll be taking off from work to participate in this one (and to read Harry Potter ^__^).
That weekend will be amazing. I just completed a well working team after many drafts and many many hours since the September of last year. So here is where I will have to put it to the test. Harry Potter and a Pokemon tournament in one weekend. What could be better then that?
I am interested in entering, I will be using a legit team ready to be checked as well
Hmm... I'm interested, Hope I can finish off my team by then, got a few guys to polish up before I start though. Does anyone know the times in GMT? Thanks in Advance ^.^

Approximately 1 hour. Don't be a bitch though and drag out your match/wait later to start it.
I have a question. It's kind of situational, but it deals with the "hacking is illegal" rule.
Let's say my team is made of entirely hacked pokemon caught from areas where they aren't found, but they have no illegal EV distribution, no illegal IVs, and everything else about them is completely legal. Would I still be able to participate?

Read the thread. Read the thread. Read the thread. Read the thread. Read the thread. Read the thread.
I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. I did. :P I just don't see why they aren't allowed if they're hacked from an area where they aren't found, but their stats and other things are still within legal competing rules (Legal EVs, IVs, etc.)
Please do not use hacked Pokemon. This includes Game Shark and Pro Action Reply. Though this is mute, we must trust people. We have a team that will check your Pokémon if suspicions arise. ANY FORM OF HACKING IS ILLEGAL AS LONG AS WE FIGURE IT OUT! THIS INCLUDES CATCHING POKÉMON IN PLACES WHERE THEY AREN'T FOUND, ILLEGAL MOVE SETS, STAT PUMPS, ILLEGAL EV DISTRIBUTION, AND ANYTHING ELSE!
how is this seriously not clear?

So if the game goes over 1 hour (ish), would the person who's in the lead be declared your winner?
Will pokemon with 31 ivs in 6 stats be flagged as hacked? Even if they were hatched from an egg.
Yes. If it's a tie, then we will decide based upon the status of the battle. Disconnects will also be judged similar. If an amount of time ticked down (let's say it's the first 20~ minutes of the round) and a disconnect happens, we're not going to tell you to restart your battle. Just because the match dc'd at 6-6 and you were up against a Gyarados who had a few (Let's say 3) Dragon Dances, doesn't sound like you've got much of an advantage. Oh, you're at a Neutral standpoint also against the Gyarados.
Hmm considering entering again... but HP is out that day. Meh, Il see.
