Re: PS Outages
Pokemon Showdown's main and smogtours server have been experiencing outages for the last couple days. The current ETA for the server being back online indicates that extending the length of the current Open rounds shouldn't be necessary, but due to the timing of the outages, the deadline for current extensions in the UU, RU, and LC Opens will be extended to Friday May 17th.

re: smogtours validation
Pelipper was banned from UU on May 13th, and Iron Leaves was quickbanned from RU on May 17th. However we've learned that they are validating incorrectly - while in the teambuilder these two Pokemon are listed correctly as UUBL and RUBL respectively, if the user checks with the "Validate" button it says that the team is actually valid. Users are also able to challenge with the banned Pokemon which should not be the case. This is incorrect behavior on the smogtours server that might confuse people into believeing that Pelipper and Iron Leaves are still legal in UU and RU respectively.
For current and future rounds, Pelipper is banned from UU and Iron Leaves is banned from RU. We'll try to get this fixed ASAP but meanwhile please try to do your due diligence and inform your friends as well.

RE: LBN vs entrocefalo
Situation:
In his Ubers Open set versus entrocefalo, LBN threw during both game 2 and game 3 by purposefully making suboptimal plays and stating his intention to make up for his own good luck in the game chat. While LBN's intent behind throwing did not appear to be malicious, and the players do not appear to have colluded in advance to rig the set, throwing a tournament game is explicitly against tournament rules and cannot be permitted in any form as it severely undermines the competitiveness of our tournaments.
Result: LBN will be tournament banned for three months. Entrocefalo will not advance further in the Ubers Open.
