Tournament rules:
  • General tournament rules and regulations, which can be found here.
  • Smogon Classic III rules, which can be read here.
  • Standard GSC OU rules ( Sleep Perish Trap Combinations are not allowed ).
  • If you play on PO: Sleep Clause, Species Clause.
  • Tournament will be single elimination.
  • Matches will be best of three.
  • Battles will take place on Pokemon Showdown (Pokémon Online if both players agree)
Identity

I expect many battles to be completed under alts and I expect many battles to be completed on other servers to prevent scouting. These kind of factors are pretty bad for tournament security, and thus I will make this clear: If I hear any whispers of identity theft (battling as someone you are not) or proxy battling (helping someone else battle through pm) I will not be pleased and I will take severe actions.

Scouting

Next, I do not want to hear anything about counterteaming, at all. It is the silliest thing I have ever heard, any battler worth their marbles has more than one team. Do not complain about it. I also don't want to hear about any forceful scouting, whether it be spying on another teams irc channel or following your opponent around on PO. There is a difference between "ipl is known for using stall" and "let me follow ipl around all day to watch all his battles since I am his opponent". I expect a lot of the former and none of the latter.

With that said, I give permission to all battlers to ask any person spectating their battle to leave if they do not want them watching. However, given the fact that this is the big stage, I am sure a lot of people want to watch, so don't be too mean.

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 battle if you think you will have to leave mid battle, and instead reschedule for a better time. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment.

Disconnections

If a player disconnects and either player contends that they could still win, the optimal solution is to recreate the exact situation the disconnection occurred at during the battle. If it is agreed between players that this is not feasible due to unreasonable battle length, highly improbable circumstances, or some other reason, the player who did not disconnect may choose to rematch with either the same teams or (the option to use) new teams. Timing out is still classified as a loss, unless the reason for timing out is a disconnection. If there is any suspicion that a disconnect was carried out deliberately to take advantage of this rule in any way, we reserve the right to exercise a harsh punishment. Do not do it.

I know that was a lot to read, but it is all necessary for me to have posted here so everyone can see it in the case of a dispute. I don't want any confusion or any problems.

Malekith how are last turn Explosions being dealt with when no Pokemon are left standing? PS is currently ruling the Explosion user as the victor, which I think most people would find unexpected. In-game just rules it as a tie too. It seems like the tour ruleset says to just discard the results of that game and play another if it's a draw, but I don't know whether or not it's actually being considered a draw for this tour since the sim says otherwise.
 
Won 2-1 in a retarded as fuck series, 3 stupid games with a bunch of luck for both sides. I prob would have lost but TDK was nice enough to let me unthaw game 3. ggs I guess, it sucks to be paired against you so early.

since I can't remove his inability to post here myself, but bluri's tour ban ended yesterday and wants to sub for this, so I'm posting on his behalf
