Bold means that that person has PM'd his team! Not that that person has won!

- Clauses -​
  • 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, Mega Lucario and Mega Gengar are banned.
  • Moody Clause.
  • Full Banlist: All ubers.
- Other Rules - ​
- 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.
If you have more than 1 Mega in your team, you have to send them too. If you have 4-5-6 Mega's in your team you have to send them all!
- Teams are 6vs6 in X/Y
You only play 1 match against your opponent.

Deadline: 1-3 (1 March) at 13:00 (GMT+01:00)

Meloetta<3 Genesect's not banned? If it isn't well, that sucks. :P Also, deadlines for the mons?

Do I also have to list that Arceus is banned? :P Yes Genesect is banned. Just follow the standard Smogon OU rules.

Also the deadline for the mons is just the same deadline. As long as you PM the mons to your opponent, and finish the battle at the same deadline.
 
You can have 6 'megas' on your team but you will only be able to mega evolve 1 in the battle.
 
Contacted + sent team in

also Soulwind you'll probably have to send in all of them if you're making them all hold the mega stone
 
Hey, if we have a mega, do we have to specify that it's a mega? Or can we just say something like Abomasnow, Pidgey, Ivysaur?

Yes.
Unless it's Charizard. Anybody sending in if it's X or Y; it doesn't matter. I am only going to tell you if it has a Mega-Charizard. Not what form.
Neither for Meowstic (whether it's male or female).
 
I actually see a small flaw here. If one person receives the team before the other, they can simply send over the counters they intend to use, essentially having much more of an element of surprise.

So you shouldn't send the team to the other person until you have both.
 
So let me get this straight. We have to send you 3 mons of our teams which you will then tell our opponent? And if we have a mega then it has to be one of the mons we send you? Mainly only want the later point clarified on since it wasn't in the sign up thread
 
I actually second the idea for you not sending our respective opp our 3 mons until you received the team from both parties, otherwise your opp will have an unfair advantage by tailor suiting their mons before sending them in.

If you're unwilling to do that then and/or you already sent FLCL my team members, then id like to change my 3 mons that I sent snd wait for him to send me his half team first

At first, I actually understood that the 3 mons would be sent to the opp at the same time. Imo it would be better, because with the current rules the 2 players would start in different conditions, depending on who sends his team first. I don't know if this would give more advantage to a party than to the other, but i think it would be fairer if the 2 players can start in the same condition.

But this is just my opinion. If you don't want to change the rules (especially when the tour has started and many players already sent their mons) because the concept of this tour is different from what I thought, it's fine. After all, it's up to you.

The person who sends the team first will be at an inherent disadvantage. The fact that meloetta overlooked this and opting to send the team members to our respective opps before they send their team members will give them more time to prepare and more importantly more team members to use.

There is no reason to send your mons in first and it is far better to just wait for your opp to send their team members first so you can counter their mons + have extra.
 
I think it is also unfair to handle the rule right now (because there are already many people who have sended in their Pokémons).
Thanks for the tips tho, I am a new(bie) tournament hoster so any help is appreciated!

The rule is going to be handled next round.

It's unfair for the ones who have already sent their mons and be stuck at a disadvantage for doing so. It's your duty as a TD to make the games as fair as possible.
