[talkingtree]

Post "in" to participate. Be aware that you can only join two tours this week!

- This tournament will be held on the official Smogon Tournament server at http://smogtours.psim.us/.
- Send a PM to talkingtree on Smogtours when you win your match. Do NOT PM the host if you lost.

Additionally, please note that today's tour is SM DOU! The current ban list on Smogon University is in effect.

General Doubles Live Challenge general rules:

• You must have a Smogon forum account to sign up for a Doubles Live Challenge tournament. You cannot participate if you do not post in this thread.
• When this tour is posted, post as quickly as you can to ensure a place in the tournament. The number of spots available will vary from week to week, and it is up to the discretion of the host on when sign-ups will be closed. On Xenforo (our current forum software), YOUR POST NUMBER IS NOT ALWAYS ACCURATE. Do NOT whine to the host or on Smogtours if your post number implies you should have been in the tournament and you are not.
• Substitute players will only be applied in the first round and as deemed necessary by the host.
• If you have signed up successfully, you must stay for the entire tournament unless you have lost.
• You may change teams between rounds without penalty. You are, in fact, encouraged to do so to prevent your opponents from knowing your team in advance.
• You may only participate in two Doubles Live Challenge tournaments per week. For example, if you play on Friday and Saturday, you are not allowed to play on Sunday. If you do, your results for that week will be null and void.
• Do not hassle the host(s) of the current tournament.

Doubles Live Challenge battling rules:

• All tiers are based on Smogon tiers. The current status of the appropriate standard ladder will function as the prevailing tier list. If you have any question about whether a particular Pokemon is banned or not in any particular tier, reference the banlist of the appropriate ladder on PS!. This is not confusing. There will be no exceptions.
• Species Clause: A player cannot have two (2) of the same species of Pokemon on their team, based on National Pokedex Number. For example, a player cannot have two Koffings on their team.
• Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same PokeDex number on his team.
• Evasion Clause: The moves Double Team and Minimize are banned. (No other evasion boosting things are banned).
• OHKO Clause: The moves Horn Drill, Guillotine, Sheer Cold, and Fissure are banned.
• Endless Battle Clause: Anything capable of intentionally creating an endless battle is banned.
• HypnoGravity Clause: The move Gravity is banned with all moves that can induce Sleep under 100% accuracy.
• Moody Clause: A player can not use the ability Moody
