    • You cannot have more than two of the same species of a pokémon on your team.
      • Example: You cannot have two Charmanders on your team.

  • Sleep Clause
    • You cannot put two of your opponent's pokémon asleep at the same time.
      • Using moves that put your own pokémon to sleep like rest will not trigger the Sleep Clause.
  • Evasion Clause
    • A pokémon cannot use moves raise its evasion stat.
      • Traits and Moves that indirectly increase a pokémon's evasion do not break this clause.
      • Items like Brightpowder do not break this clause.

    • If both players are down to one pokémon each, you are not allowed to use a move that KOs both pokémon to force a tie.
      • If a recoil damage move forces a tie, then the Self-KO Clause does not trigger. Please notify Sonuis if this happens during your match.
  • Timed Battle
Specific Rules
  • Please send a log to Sonuis labeled like so: Round # - Name vs. Name (Score as Win-Loss). These are vital to getting your matches counted. If you are having a format issue when you open up your log, rename its file extension to .doc.
  • Scouting: This is a blanket rule. Understand that it is severely frowned upon, but it can't be controlled by any means. So if any player playing their match, I want to ask that you leave if they request so. Please resource the original creating/joining a tournament thread.
  • Contacting: The best way to get your match done fast and make the tournament progress faster is by contacting your opponent and setting up a date to battle! Here are some ways to contact your opponent!
    • Send them a private message on the Smogon Forums.
    • Contact them on the Smogon Chat Room on the IRC network Dejatoons. For a guide as how to get to the Smogon Chat Room, click here!
    • Check your opponent's user profile and see if they have an Instant Messenger nickname for the same program you use.
    • Maybe they have their e-mail available to the public too!
Smogon Tournament # 5 Predictions Tournament

Rules
  • When an ST5 round begins, players will be delayed for three days before they can start their match. This is the period for which you send in your predictions.
  • You will send your predictions in to a flunky found in the list below.
  • For each correct prediction, you will receive a point.
    • The points received for each correct prediction each round will change.
  • You do not lose any points for incorrect predictions.
  • If you fail to send in your list, you will be ineligible to receive points for that round.
    • Example: If you send your predictions on time for R1, you will get points for each correct prediction. However, if you don't send in your predictions on time for R2, then you won't receive points for R2. If you send your predictions on time for R3, you will get points for each correct predictions, and so forth.
  • During R1, and only on R1, any substitution for any sort of match will result as a correct prediction. In following rounds, if you picked a player who did not complete their match and was DQed, your prediction will be marked as incorrect.
Sending Predictions List and Flunkies

Each participant will be assigned a flunky to send their prediction list to. When you learn who to send it to, create a .txt file with your predictions labeled as so: Nickname - Round # Predictions. You will then upload the file to a file sharing service, or your own web space to download. Good services would be Sendspace, Megaupload, Mediafire, Rapidshare, or zshare. Once you have uploaded your file, copy the share link and PM your assigned flunky with it so that they can download the file. If they are unable to acquire the file, your flunky will notify you. Here are your flunkies!

It's recommended that you create an account on one of these services as if your predictions file gets lost, it can be recovered and recounted.

You already know your flunkies, send `em!

oh crap, this is gonna be good but it will be tough.


Spotlight Matches:

darkie vs Twist of Fate - darkie is one of the most unique battlers I know, always coming up with useful yet very odd sets that can surprise an opponent and beat them into submission. Twist of Fate is red hot right now, especially after his domination on the Suspect Ladder. And believe me folks, Twist is just as good in Standard as he is on Suspect. This one looks good.

BlueKirby vs Loki - Loki is the odds on favorite to win according to others and he also has a bit of experience in this area as well. In fact he is a previous winner of the Tournament. However, Blue Kirby isn't the Tutoring leader for no reason. He is very skilled and very ready to win his first ever Smogon Tournament.

Giant Enemy Crab vs KD24 - Spotlighting my own match here because Giant Enemy Crab is easily one of the best players out there and many are picking him as a dark horse to win this whole thing. I'm just extremely lucky and egotistical but hey; that doesn't mean I can't win either (well, maybe it does :/). This is gonna be a good one and I wish the best of luck to you GEC.

august vs Veteran In Love - august is a very solid player as is VIL. Really, expect this to be the best match of the round with solid play on both sides.

Zak91 vs maddog - Quality match, Zak91 is very good and still somewhat unknown and well ... maddog probably created the best BP team of DP so we know what he can do. But don't think thats his only trick, maddog is amazing with all types of play. Should be a dandy.

Jyranitar vs Mekkah - I was sceptical of Junior claiming he was going to win this but ... well he is one of my top choices as well now. I believe Junior has a very good chance to win as well but don't discount Mekkah. He has some tricks up his sleeve too.


excellent matches this round, i just need to build a team gec then we can battle whenever you want.
 
Woo M Dragon... Should be an awesome Rd4 match. To Panamaxis: Why would it be disappointing if he lost to me, if I may ask. Just wondering.
 

Scofield

Ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhhhhhh, Kate.......

locopoke vs .Baris. Tough call, I just think Baris edges it out.
darkie vs Twist of Fate The gfaqer in me wants ToF to win, but Darkie is my flunky. I wouldn't be disappointed in either outcome.
BlueKirby vs Loki Close one, BK takes it imo.
Giant Enemy Crab vs KD24 Tough one, the gfaqer takes it.
Battlelulz vs aamto Flip of a coin
Jackal vs Luphrous I think Jackal can take this one
august vs Veteran In Love VIL is good
Panamaxis vs Phyres See above
Earthworm vs Gaborik I may have a new favorite to win this
Celebi_trainer_ice vs Gouki He's gotta lose sometime, but not this round
Zak91 vs maddog Zak is red hot, but maddog can break the streak
M Dragon vs HECTORtu Tough, but Hector takes it
RB Golbat vs Magmortified I can see mag winning, but
Junior vs Mekkah uhhh, Mekkah?
Eo Ut Mortus vs 3N3MY Red hot
JabbaTheGriffin vs LoveDestiny Toughie, I'd say Jabba might be a little better.
 
Pfft, who is this Earthworm character? I squish earthworms for fun after rainy days.

Anyway, joking aside, I'll PM him soon

Believe me it is nothing personal to you at all, you are both great battlers, I will just be disappointed if M_Dragon loses because I guess I know him a bit better... (and I want him to go far in this tournament).
