the only rules there should be is, no legendaries and no hacked pokemon. By the way how would you know if they're hacked? and what are the clauses? Does it me your not aloud to keep on putting things to sleep on raising up your evasive to max? If thats so thats dumb. The game is like that for a reason. You can counter everything.
Irregularities in damage.

Yes, that is exactly what they mean, because losing due to an opponent using Double Team and Hypnosis so much that for the one or two turns your Pokemon are actually awake your attacks are sure to miss is SO fair.[/sarcasm] And if you can counter "everything" then why ban Legendaries?

so is the first page going to be updated with brackets for when this starts??
The "brackets" Apostle mentioned are different from the ones you are most likely thinking of. Individual matches are up to us.

Hypnosis has a high chance of missing, you can wake up from it fast, not many pokemon posess hypnosis, sleep powder, grasswhistle, most pokemon who uses those moves are slow also. My brother tries to use hypnosis and the amount of times he misses is crazy, its all luck. Even though he does keep on getting me i had xatu with early bird, and my pokemon would just wake up. You can try and waste your turns with double team, you will be getting damage if your using it the first couple of times, unless your lucky of course. Then again i have a move to negate or ignore all stat raises. There is no reason to not allow these things.
Its a game of chance, if you want to take that chance go ahead. If your afraid of hypnosis or a sleeping move, give your thing a berry or All the other ways to prevent that (there are alot.)
Like i said there is a way to counter everything.

There is even a way to counter legendaries. But overall we all know legendaries go overboundries with there stats. You shouldn't even have asked that question. Its like getting a pokemon with all stats good, there unbalanced thats why.
If you want to battle message me

So does Will-O-Wisp, but that does not exactly stop people from using it effectively.

not many pokemon posess hypnosis, sleep powder, grasswhistle, most pokemon who uses those moves are slow also.
Gengar.

Also, there are Pokemon with it and are bulky enough to risk being slow, such as Spiritomb.

My brother tries to use hypnosis and the amount of times he misses is crazy, its all luck. Even though he does keep on getting me i had xatu with early bird, and my pokemon would just wake up.
Your brother's luck, not other people's.

You can try and waste your turns with double team, you will be getting damage if your using it the first couple of times, unless your lucky of course. Then again i have a move to negate or ignore all stat raises.
Again, just you and not necessarily everyone else.

Its a game of chance, if you want to take that chance go ahead. If your afraid of hypnosis or a sleeping move, give your thing a berry or All the other ways to prevent that (there are alot.)
Or just make it a rule against putting more than one of your opponent's Pokemon to sleep.

But overall we all know legendaries go overboundries with there stats. You shouldn't even have asked that question. Its like getting a pokemon with all stats good, there unbalanced thats why.
Actually, you are dead wrong. Dead, dead wrong. Not all Legendaries are like that. Examples:

-Articuno (4x weakness to Stealth Rock and only so-so offensive stats)
-Moltres (4x weakness to Stealth Rock and 2x weakness to Water)
-Zapdos (Good stats for Special Sweeping, but pathetic movepool for such)
-Entei (Low Special Defense and mediocre Physical Sweeping stats, but an incredibly limited movepool for such)
-Raikou (low Defense and not a very spectacular movepool to take advantage of that Special Attack)
-Registeel (Pathetic Speed and below-average offenses)

The list goes on.

I suggest you go take a look at what is Uber and what is not, because not all Legendaries are unbalanced. Some are even weaker than certain non-Legendaries.

...Aaand I'm done posting about that in this thread.

hey man its a game of luck thats all. everyone has the same amount of chance.

This diamond/Pearl balanced itself better with all the items and stuff. So hypnosis and doubleteam wouldn't be cheat. Well i just rather a battle we're we can do whatever we want just no legendaries and hacked.

The point is it should be aloud.

lol i didn't have those legendaries in mind, but its better without the legendaries either way.

He should take off the other rule. This just takes away more strategy to the game.

I find your whole logic so hypocritical. We should be able to use Double-Team and break the Sleep Clause because you think they're "able to be countered", but we can't use legendaries because you think they're cheap? You say everything is able to be countered, but no legendaries? Why fear legendaries if they have counters? I believe Ichaste has said what truely needs to be said, except that it is not a game of luck. This, surprisingly enough, is a game of skill that takes strategy. Also, the community works as a democracy. It has been widely decided throughout the competitive pokemon world that Double-Team is banned due to the fact that it takes no skill to set up and sucks the fun right out of the game. Same goes for the sleep clause. And please, for crying out loud tell the difference between "legendary" and "uber"!

And I'm sorry to have gone off-topic, Apostle ^^;
So I believe you said this would start tomorrow, yesterday? Or am I mistaken?

Okay guys, if you want to take this further then please take it to PMs. This thread should only be discussing the tournament and for entries to it, not for an in-depth debate about the clauses.

As long as their stats are completely legit then I don't think there's really a problem.
