Sportsmanship
The purpose of this tournament is to help towards a fun, integrated community on Smogon and PS. If any authority deems you to be negative presence, you will be disqualified. Harsher punishments will be given to those that continue with this behaviour.
Identity
This tournament is for non-voice only. It is against the rules to create a non-auth'ed account to participate in this tournament. Failure to comply will result in a harsh punishment. Do not signup with multiple accounts. This goes against the Underused room's policy, as well as Smogon's policy. Do not do it. Sign up with the Pokemon Showdown name that you will use. There are no exceptions to this.
Timer Clause
As for taking long between moves, if your opponent asks you to hurry up, please oblige. If you are doing a damage calc for a key turn that is one thing, but prolonging every move is suspicious and annoying. Don't do it. Furthermore, Battle Timeout is a rule for a reason. If you run out of time, you lose, simple as that. It does not matter what your opponent says. Do not join the tournament if you think you will have to leave mid-tour, and instead join a tournament the following week.
Disconnection Clause
If a player disconnects/leaves the battle and does not appear within two minutes, a Moderator (@) or Room Owner (#) reserves the right to disqualify the player. If a player disconnects/leaves a battle and it is clear to any authority (Drivers% included) that the player was about to lose, they will be disqualified.
Battle Clauses:
Evasion Clause
OHKO Clause
Sleep Clause
Species Clause
Timed Battle
