Okay, so I couldn't wait for the Battle Factory tour to end, so here are the signups for my new tournament:

LE COUNTERTEAM TOURNAMENT!
+Meloetta<3V:
3v3 Counterteaming
+Meloetta<3V: I hear you think "wtf"
+Meloetta<3V: Everyone in the tournament says who their Pokémons are.
+Meloetta<3V: So they have to counter each other if they want to win
~Snaquaza: yea that is complicated xD
~Snaquaza: as you need to counter your own counters
+Meloetta<3V: Exactly.
So here it is! The long-awaited Counterteam Tournament.
The point of the Counterteam tournament is that you PM me 3 Pokémons out of your team (excluding movesets), and I'll send them to your opponent. But your opponent also send me 3 Pokémons out of his team (exluding movesets), that I'll send to you! You'll still fight with 6 Pokémons!

Important information:
- Only for 48 people, using the 'first come, first serve' system.

(Unless there are less than 48 sign-ups ofcourse, then it will be a 32 people tournament)
- If you're using a Mega-Pokémon, you HAVE to send it to me. You don't have to send 4 Pokémons then, as you still only need to send 3 Pokémons.
- Teams are 6vs6 in X/Y
- It will take 1-2 weeks each round. First round will be 2 weeks.


And last but not least, all clauses in this tournament:
Definitions of Standard Clauses: (these clauses apply across all Smogon tiers)



    • Sleep Clause: If a player has already put an opposing Pokémon to sleep using a sleep inducing move and that Pokémon is still sleeping due to that sleep inducing move, the player cannot put another opposing Pokémon to sleep using a sleep inducing move.
    • Species Clause: A player cannot have two of the same species of Pokémon on their team, based on the National Pokedex Number. For example, a player cannot have two Koffing on his or her team.
    • Evasion Clause: Players cannot use Double Team or Minimize in any of their Pokémon's movesets.
    • OHKO Clause: Players cannot use Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, or Fissure in any of their Pokémon's movesets.
    • Timer Clause: If a player exhausts the timer, he/she loses.
      Disconnections and Timer Clause: In live tournaments with short time constraints such as the Smogon Tour, if a player disconnects or times out, the opponent may take the win. In other tournaments, if a player disconnects and contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If 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.
      Simulator Glitches: Any battle mechanics not properly implemented in the simulator used for a tournament battle are fair game, unless explicitly banned by that tournament's rules. Illegal movesets that are not restricted by the simulator fall into this category as well. However, this does not include faulty tier scripts; for example, if there was a bug in the BW OU tier script that allowed you to use Drizzle and Swift Swim on the same team, taking advantage of this would result in disqualification in that battle. If a game breaking glitch is discovered, we will make a blanket tournament ban on that glitch via an announcement in the Tournaments forum until it is fixed.
      Ghosting: The player in a tournament battle should be the one making their own decisions. Do not tell a player what move to make in a tournament battle (i.e. do not "ghost" them), and do not make your moves based on another person's suggestions. If we are made aware that someone playing a tournament battle is making some of their moves based mainly on the suggestions of someone else, punishments may be handed out to both parties involved.
      Identity: Pretending to be another player in relation to a tournament battle is strictly prohibited. Do not try to impersonate or play as another player.
      Rule Breaking: If a player breaks a rule during a battle, they are disqualified from that particular battle. If it was a single battle in a series, they will still have the opportunity to play the rest of the series.
      Draws: If a battle ends in a draw in an elimination tournament or another tournament format that is unable to handle draws, there should be a rematch between the players with the option for both players to change teams.
      Forfeiting: A player may forfeit their battle during or after the battle, as long as the result has not been confirmed by the host. If a player forfeits before a battle commences in the first round of a tournament, they are eligible for substitution if appropriate. We highly recommend that you do not forfeit your tournament battles just because you got lucky, but we do not enforce this.
      Host / Tournament Director Decisions: The host may make a judgment call on the outcome of a battle with a disputed result, even if one player has broken the rules. If you believe the host has made an unjust decision, you may inform the Tournament Director responsible for the tournament of the situation and request that they make a final call on it.
      Sportsmanship: If a player displays exceedingly poor sportsmanship before, during, or after a tournament battle, they may be disqualified or otherwise punished.
    • Mega-Kangaskhan is banned!
    • Mega-Gengar is banned!
    • Mega-Lucario is banned!
    • Moody clause.

Might as well give this a try.
Some questions:
1. Are we using Smogon OU rules?
2. If answer to 1 is No, does that mean only 2 Megas are banned?
3. How much time in advance do we have to submit the teams?
4. Just a thought: Can I have 2 Megas but only send 1 of them in my PM?

You can't have more than 1 Mega in your team.

also, you actually can have more than one mega a team in standard OU, just that only 1 of them can mega evolve. Is it banned in this tour or do we have to send in both?
