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.

Ok so I will explain my situation with Kael.
We originally scheduled via smogtours PM to play on Sunday after tour, but he missed the time and VMd me saying the he had asked Malekith an extension.
He then asked me to play at 1 AM my time a GSC bo3 when I wake up early. I told him that I would prefer playing earlier because that time didnt really worked to me, and then he VMd me asking to play at the same time, and this time I clearly told him that it didnt work for me, that it would have to be at least 1 hour earlier. When I left at 0:00 my time he was still offline.
Asking for an activity win or an extension.

About the 2 last extensions:

kael vs M Dragon: I have scheduled for you two this Saturday 14:00 GMT-4. You both said ok so don't miss the time. The winner please contact asap A Hero's Destiny and try to play Sunday, if you can't play it, it will be extended, so don't worry if you cant make it the Sunday A Hero's.

Malekith vs babidi: This is difficult since its my own match, but babidi and I have completely incompatibles GMTs, fact is I can play weekdays and he can't, but we have found a time this Saturday that might work ( its a might, I can't guarantee it at all ), sorry for this Not Troller , you will also have your match extended if you can't play the Sunday vs the winner.

Don't do that babidi, it sounds so ridiculous.

I could do the matches ALL the weekdays, you only could 2 out of 10 on a very small range of time which was absolutely unviable. I told you to play on a weekday at the times you suggest me for weekend so idk where is the "unreasonable times" there.

It's also pretty funny how you are saying "The PM I iniciated" when all you did was to continue the conversation we were having on your wall, conversation I started on the first wednesday of the deadline and you answered me the Friday, so we had 48hrs to play the games and they were obviously not done.

You are just lucky it is my own match because if I wasn't involved you would have lost this in the first extension ( or even the Sunday cause you were 0 active from Monday till Friday )

10:30 pm for you worked perfectly as you said before. We could even play a single match each day.
Didn't miss it cause I never said we were gonna play, I said I was gonna try but never guarantee it since I can't guarantee what it is not in my hand.
Cause I posted at my 4:30am when I got home and went to sleep.
Edit: If you are today at the tour hour lets just play.
 
Requesting a 1 day extension for obii and I. We've been pretty busy with finals but we're both free tomorrow and are scheduled to play at 7 pm GMT -4.
 
Calling activity on Leftiez because he

1. As of today still hasn't replied to my scheduling VM posted on his wall on tuesday.
2. Missed the scheduled time today. I briefly saw him on smogtours saturday evening around 12 AM GMT +2, we then scheduled for this afternoon via smogtours PM. I was online on my main alt for ~4 hours this afternoon and didn't see him around. Going to sleep now as I have to get up early for work tomorrow.
