Smogon's VGC 2011 Tournament
Welcome to Smogon's first annual official VGC tournament. Since this is an official tournament, that means you can win a trophy for your profile, and all the glory and prestige that comes with it. This is the beginning of a tradition on Smogon, we will continue these tournaments every year with the new ruleset. This is the perfect opportunity to prepare against top level opponents for the real thing, or try your hand at VGC if you can't make it to one of Nintendo's events.

Identity
I expect many battles to be completed under alts. This can be 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. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any blatant scouting. There is a difference between "[user] is known for using stall" and "let me follow [user] 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.
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.
Disconnections
Finally, in the case of a disconnect, the decision is in the hands of the player who did not disconnect. The options are: redo the battle move for move, redo the battle with the same teams but different moves, or redo the battle with completely different teams. If the battle was without a doubt over, they may also take the win. Any suspicion that a disconnect was committed on purpose to redo a match may be appealed to me, and if I feel this happened there will be severe consequences, don't 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.

You need to submit teams for this tournament --- Please do not submit by PM, read the next paragraph
Please submit your full six Pokemon roster to me here. Please simply use the export to text feature in PO, don't change up the formatting because that just makes it harder for me. You can check here to see what users have submitted their teams. Please don't play your match unless both you and your opponent have submitted teams. If you are suspicious that your opponent swapped their team between games of the best 2 of 3, please pm me the log and I will check. Please don't submit a team under someone else's name, penalties for that will be harsh. Please do not submit partial teams, if you only submit for mons you can only use four mons. If you need to resubmit, please pm me and I will delete the old submission.
Any uncompleted matches will be determined by activity or coinflip, to determine activity I will mainly be stalking Visitor Message conversations. The best way to assure yourself an activity win, if your match isn't completed, is to as soon as you finish reading this, go VM your opponent with explicitly what times you can play, and what timezone you are in. You can see your timezone in relation to GMT at the bottom of any page on Smogon. Then, reply promptly to any VMs your opponent leaves you, and try to work out a specific time that is workable for both of you. Do not try and just wait until your opponent is online to message them the first time. If your opponent doesn't reply to you in a reasonable amount of time, like by next Sunday, post in this thread, and I will try to find a substitute. Good Luck.
