Because all matches were completed this round, I have no activity calls to make. Instead, we can look at the statistics of people trying to break Sleep Clause in BW DOU from this round!

4/16 matches saw one player violate or attempt to violate sleep clause
2/16 matches saw no usage of Pokemon that learn sleeping moves, so sleep clause couldn't have been violated even if the players tried
10/16 matches saw no violation of sleep clause and could have violated it

So only 25% of matches saw players forgetting about Sleep Clause this round, which I suppose is good, but let's get that number to 0% for next round! Thanks to all for scheduling well to get matches completed.
