PM'd Live_Wire466 and VM'd dr.feelgood.11, just waiting for their replies.
Just beat Xtreme. Won 5-0
Don't want to start anymore fighting, but I'd just like to point out that the hax item clause is part of the standard clauses, and it is in effect in this tournament. So in other words you should be feeling a little noobish now.
No, Hax Item Clause isn't a part of the Official Smogon Clauses.
The Official Smogon Clauses consist of:
Evasion Clause, Freeze Clause, Sleep Clause, OHKO Clause, Species Clause, Self KO Clause
(Check for yourself in Smogon website)
Hax Item Clause isn't in the General Rules of PokeCommunity Battle Stadium Rules either.

So it's an optional clause, not mandatory clause.
Also, I was referring to Live_Wire466 about Standard Clause not Pokemon WiFi World Cup Clauses, so yeah.
P.S. Anyway no one is stupid enough to use hax items nowdays except for beginners.
I mean, why would people want use hax items when they can use better items like Choice items, Life Orb, Focus Sash, e.t.c.?
