literally never heard of this turn limit and obviously nobody has been playing with it in mind because most others didn't know about it either, it's dumb and makes no sense and isn't stated anywhere in any rulesetRE: Turn Limit
The turn limit was accidentally removed in a PS update. There has been no policy posts, no reports of this mistake or anything. The turn limit has been part of Smogon tournaments for years now and most players, especially at an SPL level, expect it and play with it in mind. The turn limit is still 1000 turns even if it isn't enforced by PS at this moment.
I don't think we will have another 1000+ turn game anyway, but the rule definitely should have been stated somewhere since not even the players knew about this.so, like, whatever happened to the rest of the team features yalls just kinda gave up on 'em once the tourney actually started

Did we forget about the Tiba/Beds thing in SPL 6 where everyone was pissed off about PO having a similar arbitrary turn limit due to technical limitations?
Oh boy, don't you love fact checking small implications of examples given in a meme and comparing them to your own subjective perception!>chansey-less current gen
Oh boy don't I love playing against/watching 4 statuppers (cloyster in particular) per team with clefable on close to 70% of them...
Agreed completely! If his team understands the situation and unexpected circumstances irl put you in this situation, why should you be banned from participating in SPL XII? Sometimes life happens, and i think it is way too harsh... It feels like telling an injured athlete he isn't allowed to participate in the following season because he tore his ACL this season... so IF his team is fine and understanding with him leaving for irl, then let him participate in the next SPL. Personally, in such a case, i would even allow a retention next season, but that's just me. Maybe a "IRL clause" where people can point tough situations out to the TDs and and if the team managers confirm, could be implemented to allow such sellbacks without infractions.Forgive me if this isn't my place, but I feel the need to throw a word in for Sceptross. I'm not going to reveal anything that he hasn't, but knowing more about the situation, this kind of feels like infracting Adam for that time in SPL6 when he dipped on his team because a car crash put him in the ICU. Sometimes completely awful IRL circumstances come up and you can't possibly have seen it coming. Sceptross is hardly teetering on the brink of a ban with this new infraction, and I understand if we can't make exceptions for every sob story, so maybe it's not a huge deal, but it just feels wrong seeing this situation tied to the phrase "poor sportsmanship." Honestly, he could have said nothing and stayed on the team with hopes for a trophy, I doubt we would have noticed anything was up. Asking to be sold back because he didn't think his sticking around would be best for the Woflpack is admirable sportsmanship if anything.
The problem with that is that 1. such info could easily be faked and 2. TDs asking for personal information is problematic so it can't be verified. I'm sure Sceptross genuinely has IRL issues that came up but it's easy to see such a clause being abused by people who were rightfully infracted.Agreed completely!

Just saying... life happens and this is just pokemon!
I mean we have rules against ghosting and teamworking and all we do is believe in the good morals of the players since there's no way we can actually check if ghosting has taken place or not (unless someone leaks the act itself which is completely different). We are all trusting others not to cheat. I don't know what happened to Sceptross and I superficially know him from past experiences together, but I don't understand why we should infract the player.The problem with that is that 1. such info could easily be faked and 2.
