Random Tandem Kickoff Tournament!
Welcome to the Random Tandem Kickoff Tournament!
This is the half-OU, half-Random Battles format at least 3 people have been talking about! Bring a team of 3 and watch as chaos fills in the rest! Find more about the Pet Mod here!
This tour will test out the Best-Of-3 format that VGC on Showdown uses (that will hopefully be added to DH soon)! This means it is still best of 3, but neither side can change teams between games. This reduces prep necessary while still testing the strength of your team through the RNG.
Tournament Specific Rules
To sign up, you must post "in" or some variation of it on the thread! Sign-ups last for 7 days, so they end on May 23rd 15:00 GMT -8!

Identity
About playing on alts: It is entirely allowed to play on an alt other than your own main forum name, though if your opponent wishes to confirm your identity, you must log on to your main alt to show them you are who you claim to be. This is to prevent people from pretending to be who they're not.
Scouting
On scouting opponents: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. An exception to this is abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to, which is strictly forbidden.
On leaking teams: Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.
Timer Clause / Disconnections
On Timeout losses: A player that loses by having all his time run out loses the game. This is only not the case if the player that received the timeout loss can be verified to have suffered a True Disconnection. Rematches are only allowed if there was a True Disconnection
