well from what i found some are from the actaul tourny and some are recorder.
I would say go for it. There isn't any reason not to unless they're copyrighted sources etc.
This is only what i can remember:
LV 1-50
Item Clause
Species Clause
Nickname Clause(cannot name a pokemon the name of another one, like a lucario named spiritomb)
15 min. per match
Double battles.
4 pokemon only
this has been posted several times here, as well on the showdown website here:

anyway, i want to talk about prizes for 2009. what would all of you want to see for prizes in 2009?
2008 finals entrants got a Carrying case w/ logo, a hot w/logo, shirt w/logo and some packs of TCG. what would you want more?
Maybe a backpack? a backpack is more practical for carrying stuff around.
something like this:
Yes, thank you i forgot. it was orange and had the VGS logo in the corner.
The people who won a trip to florida got a hat with the logo on it.
as for the logo, have you ever seen the world championship logo?
it is different every year depending on the location. i am guesing that the same will be true for the VGS logo.
Yeah, the logo changes each year with location for Worlds, so possibly the same thing will happen with Showdown.
Yes, when I went as a contestant for Showdown I got a hat, a shirt, a DS backpack thing, a beach towel, a notebook with one page of foreign trading cards inside(each one was a different language), and a wristband or something that I had already gotten at LA qualifier. If they did add a backpack, I would wear it to class all the time. :P

Don't forget those German TCG packs that random lady gave us, lol. I managed to pull a "smogon" in my pack, which Zerowing was very jealous of.
That's right, lol. He was pretty jealous, that was so funny. Of course, I am a tad jealous too. Next year, you can put it on the front of your lanyard or something. :P
Better yet, a T-shirt! :P
Better yet, a T-shirt! :P
i hope i pull something i can brag about on smogon as well.
anyways how are people's startegy's and teams coming up? i mean after all this time talking about showdown you guys should have thought of some good team ideas, i know i have.lol
so far its come down to Raindance/ trickroom and good stuff. i know the first one is weird.
I'd have to go back and look at my pictures to see whether they were or not, since I don't remember anymore, lol. I'll check. ;)
So...the idea of a scarf-Smeargle + Dark Void lead is frowned upon? I just want to ask; why?
I would think that Smeargle could put the other side to sleep (essentially removing half their team unless they have a Chesto/Lum berry) while a Simple Bibarel DTs up to +2. If they switch, that's up to +4. Give it Brightpowder for reassurance. Get to +6 evasion and then start to Curse. Finish the set with Return/Waterfall and you're golden. Have a Hippowdon to stop rain if the opponent wants to try a no-miss Thunder.
Perhaps this is all just theory (I don't play doubles sadly =X) and would be shot down in no time flat.

Well, the thing is that since that exact concept (or Smeargle + Dark Void with Sash) is so feared, many people will run Lum and Chesto on their starters (or at the least one of them) just to ensure that the above scenario doesn't happen, lol.
It was worth a shot :P
Maybe there's some other way to abuse this. I need to review the rules to learn what's allowed and whatnot.
Like I said, I'm not a doubles battler, but I'm actually considering training for it for wifi tourneys and such. Maybe even an official tournament (as if).
EDIT: Actually, that strategy might work wonders on the Battle Tower. I'm going to have to try that.
