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.
To my knowledge they are unable to be used until round 3 of this tournament so I think we should be good with not using them. Do you mind if we push this to the 22nd? It might be a little last minute, but I will not be available this weekend to play if that's alright.
