Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Someone tell me if Policy Review is the wrong place for this, but since I will use the results to set the actual rules of the turn limit, I figure it fits.
Since there is no turn 0, the 1000th is actually the 1000th turn, so ending it on the beginning of the 1000th turn would generate only 999 playable turns and that is against the law >:(
