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.
Was not planning to post against since Amaranth's response was sufficient but some of the other replies are pretty dubious.
You can't just blatantly ignore my points and throw in the "it's just about playing pokemon". Of course the endgoal is to play the game but if that were the only...
All of these discussions could be solved by adopting a single and simple rule that should have been the only rule from the start of the WCOP tournaments on Smogon : one team equals one country.
The very purpose of the tournament is to represent countries and have countries compete against one...
