Basic Battle Rules
Rules
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!
Points for each correct prediction for R5: 14 Points

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

- Pokémon in the "Uber" tier list are not allowed to be on your team. (Note: The Tier List was static and became set after the Shaymin-S Vote)
- 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.
- You cannot put two of your opponent's pokémon asleep at the same time.
- 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.
- A pokémon cannot use moves raise its evasion stat.
- Freeze Clause
- You cannot freeze two of your opponent's Pokémon.
- OHKO Clause
- A pokémon cannot use moves OHKO moves.
- Example: Fissure

- Self-KO 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.
- 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.
- Timed Battle
- 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!
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.
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.
