By entering this tournament, you give me complete power over your tournament status. If forever reason I feel you are breaking the rules, I have complete power to discharge you from the tournament. If the offense is serious enough, I have the right to ban you from any other tournaments I may host.*NOTE* If you below I have wrongfully taken you out of this tournament, please PM me ASAP so I may look over your offenses.
1. You must have either Diamond, Pearl, or Platinum, with WiFi capabilities to enter. You may engage opponents in this tournament using a PBR (Pokemon Battle Revolution) disk. However, your opponent must agree to these terms.
2. You must have a team of six Pokemon that follow your theme, not including the following:
Mewtwo, Mew, Wynaut, Wobbuffet, Lugia, Ho-oh, Latios, Groudon, Kyogre, Rayquaza, Deoxys, Garchomp, Dialga, Palkia, Giratina, Manaphy, Darkrai, Arceus
Note: Latias is allowed, but not with the Soul Dew Item.
3. The following clauses will always be in effect: Sleep, Evasion, OHKO, and Hax Item clauses.
Sleep Clause: No two Pokemon of the same side should be asleep at the same time. Exceptions being Rest, and "no other choice" situations(ie. Effect Spore ability, or getting Encored on Hypnosis).
Evasion Clause: No use of moves that alter the ability to hit with attacks. This includes Flash, Double Team, & Sand-Attack. This does not include Acupressure and Metronome, which could randomly increase evasiveness.
OHKO Clause: No using Guillotine, Horn Drill, Fissure, or Sheer Cold. Destiny Bond and Perish Song are allowed, however.
Hax Item Clause: No using hold items that rely on luck. Hax Items include Lax Incense, King's Rock, Brightpowder, Razor Claw, Scope Lens, and Quick Claw.
4. Since all WiFi battles allow you to choose Pokemon levels, all battles should be held at level 50 or 100, to allow even-footing. Battles will also be Single, not Double.
5. Once the tournament has started, a time and date will be chosen in which all competitors will be required to submit their current results. These results must be posted on the thread and must not be PM'ed, VM'ed, or sent to any other person
6. If you turn out to be a no-show, not only will you not be able to receive any benefits(ie. being the candidate for the free round), but you will have to participate in a preliminary match the next time you enter the tournament. This shall include no-shows from previous rounds, with the winners moving on to Round One. Note the fact that if someone who withdraws from the tournament will not be considered a no-show.
7. If you change your username or account, please notify me ASAP.
8. Please respect your fellow battlers. That means no flaming or spamming, or insulting your opponents. We are supposed to have fun here, so don't go ruining it for everyone else. Any member found practicing bad sportsmanship will be dealt with accordingly.
9. Battles will be conducted in matches of three versus three. The finals and semi-finals will be six versus six matches.
10. Now, the rules I must add, and that I hope will never have to be enforced:
If two people finish a battle with conflicting stories, BOTH will be disqualified. Furthermore, if later on the identity of the untruthful individual is found out, he or she will be banned from all future tournaments. This includes those who disconnect intentionally and lie about it.
Furthermore, if it is found out that a battler has been using hacked Pokemon, he or she will be banned from all future tournaments. This is in addition to any action the forum staff may take.
*IF YOU HAVE READ THE RULES, PLEASE POST THE "π" SYMBOL IN YOUR POST.
