clauses

[lati0s]

this is actually 2 suggestions,but they are related so i'm posting them in the same thread.

firstly, many tournaments do not mandate strict damage clause, this is wrong, the lack of strict damage clause can give players extra information that on a game they would not be able to have. strict damage clause should be standard in all tournaments.

second, i believe that self-ko clause should be enforced on the ladder, or should at least result in a tie. In-game the pokemon who uses explosion faints before the damage is dealt, the ladder should reflect this.

The matter of strict damage clause is completely up to the particular tournament organizer.

Self-KO clause is a known problem with the ladder and I believe is almost universally agreed upon this needs to be corrected. It may be fixed by Doug (possibly, I have no clue) down the road since I remember him mentioning it once on IRC; but I'm pretty sure Colin plans to correct this in SB2 at the very least.
