General Tournament Rules
- Visit this link if you need any sort of refreshers as far as how tours work.
- If I need to clarify tournament rules in further detail, I will. However, as far as I know, either A) these rules will never be read, or B) you'll already know any of the rules I could possibly need to yap on about.
- If you ever have any questions about general tournament rules, please ask me. I'm here to ensure that everyone is able to have fun, as part of a respectable tour. I'd be more than happy to go over rules/rulings in detail if people ask, but the truth of the matter is that the link above covers almost anything you'd possibly need to know.
- This is a Gen 4 OU Tournament. All matches must be played in "[Gen 4] OU".
- This tournament will be Double Elimination. If you lose a game, don't flipping quit the tour. Play it out.
- All matches are best of three. You may switch teams between games within a match.
- Saving replays is mandatory. You do not have to post your unless mentioned in the round's OP.
- Matches are to be played on Pokemon Showdown (or smogtours server).
- Sleep Clause Mod: Limit one foe put to sleep
- Species Clause: Limit one of each Pokémon
- OHKO Clause: OHKO moves are banned
- Evasion Clause: Evasion moves are banned, as are Sand Veil and Snow Cloak for Pokémon with more than one ability.
- HP Percentage Mod: HP is shown in percentages
- Baton Pass Stat Trap Clause: The following combinations of moves/effects are prohibited
- Baton Pass + Any Stat-Boosting Move
- Baton Pass + Any Effect which restricts the switching of pokemon
- As a note: If anyone tries to cause an infinite battle, use the /offertie command. If they don't accept, let me know.
- I'd prefer y'all didn't cancer in tours, but this is smogon we're talking about. My words only mean so much.

Thanks for being patient with me, and just lmk if there are any questions/concerns. Make sure to schedule early if possible, but as y'all can see we're most concerned about getting games played than we are about being sticks in the mud, so should an extension be needed, just ask by Wednesday.
