I've been laddering a lot lately and I can attest to badals statement: it isn't that great and has not impacted the meta much.

Kingdra @ Lum Berry | 248 HP / 252 Atk / 8 Spe > Kingdra @ Focus Sash | 4 HP / 252 Atk / 252 Spe, I have won a higher percentage of games without Focus Sash, and in two of three tournaments I have won, I wasn't running it either. As a matter of fact, ever since Sash is allowed, the lower percentage of Porygon-Z's (which are auto-loses to non-Sash Kingdra) has actually helped me. So yeah, I like the metagame with Sash.
Also, since I have won three 1v1 tournaments, do I get three votes, or are they non-cumulative?

non-cumulative. You have only 1
If you've won a tournament, you get a vote, so you don't need to post a screenshot.
I'll be putting up a list of people who qualify as voters, soon.
It should be? What should be?
And if you're talking about the focus sash, you can't vote because you haven't won a tournament or haven't posted a screenshot. And the voting hasn't started.

Posting here to claim vote. And so far from what I've seen, the sash doesn't make the tier unbalanced
oops.
I think that i should be allowed to vote on this matter because i have been playing 1v1 since it was first implimented on PO. I have seen how minor changes have effected the current metagame. The 1v1 tier is a personal favorite of mine, and I would like my openion herd on what is or isn't allowed in the tier. However, I was so caught up in other projects i forgot to post this here. I understand i did not follow protocall, and if anybody is opposed to me voting so be it. If not please consider what i have to say.
Thanks

Claiming vote.
I'm not a voter, but as you can see by my signature, I'm a very avid player of 1v1, and I find that focus sash imbalances the metagame to the point where ~50% of the sets and items used are countercoat-protect-sash, which ruins the variety usually seen in the metagame.
BTW please ignore my vote, i voted before I read everything.
