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.


Battle Clauses:
  • Evasion Clause
  • OHKO Clause
  • Sleep Clause
  • Species Clause
  • Timed Battle
  • Team Preview
teal6 Specific Hosting Rules:
  • Contact your opponent as soon as possible upon the round going up. I am going to be ludicrously strict about activity.
  • When scheduling, offer as wide a swathe of time when you are available to play. 1 hour of activity on one or two weeknights is unlikely to be considered acceptable.
  • Schedule specifically - do not schedule for "Friday afternoon" or "Sunday morning", pick a date, a time and note the timezone.
  • If I catch news of ghosting or some other sort of nefarious play, I reserve the right to investigate to the full limits of my ability in conjunction with the TD team provided there is adequate evidence to warrant it.
King UU vs Stallion


DEADLINE IS SEPTEMBER 19TH 11:59 PM GMT+10

If you try and activity me, just remember I live only a 3 hour drive from you and will hunt you down :).

Anyway I'm probably going to aim to do this on the weekend, because the timezone difference is massive and with full time work + all the sports and extracurricular stuff I do, playing during the week against someone in a drastically different timezone is pretty tough for me.

better bring a camerupt stallion, cant have your special wall willow'd and tricked after.
Good thing I plan to bring AV Delphox in every game.

Upon further review and consideration of the relative distance from my apartment each of the contestants lives, I will only be making activity calls if they happen to be in favor of Stallion. Apologies for the earlier confusion.

tfw u reach uu open finals

no predictions because in my opinion both finalists had solid runs, and even though a part of me would prefer it if an uu main won it all, it's always satisfying to see overall solid players showing interest in this tier, even if it's a little centralized or unbalanced at the moment (not to mention that stallion is one of the most likeable users i've talked to recently)

From downtown Canberra born and raised,
On showdown is where I spend most of my days.
Sitting in the lobby, relaxing all cool.
Playing randbats instead of going to school.
When a couple of mods who were up to no good.
Went and challenged me to a match in my hood.
I lost one OU fight and my mum yelled and abused.
Said "you're gonna have to go and play in underused".
I entered the open and when the finals came near.
All I need is one more win, and I will have no peer.
Looked down and my kingdom and was finally used --
To the idea of being the new King of underused.
