-All Pokemon used in the tournament must have been registered before entry: Each participant will be permitted to use up to 2 Pokemon teams or 12 Pokemon. Using the Registration Template inside the spoiler below, members are required to send me all of the information for the fields I have listed. This information must be sent to me via pm before registration to make sure the Pokemon is legal. This also prevents trainers from creating identical Pokemon to the one they have registered with me and using it illegally in the tournament.

-Battle Options: You may compete in the tounament either through DS, Pokemon Online, or PokeShowdown. As far as for PO and PokeShowdown as long as the servers are up. You must still register your teams as stated above no matter what option you choose. Keep in mind you can only do this if your opponent can do the same you must agree on a battle method.

-No disconnecting during official tournament battles: It is understandable that a member may disconnect once in a while during a battle due to faulty connection. If a disconnect occurs at any time during the battle, that battle will be labeled void and there must be a rematch to take it's place. If any member participating is caught disconnecting more than 1 time against the same opponent, it will be taken as poor sportsmanship, which is against Plasmatic Forums policy. The person who disconnected will be disqualified and dismissed from the tournament and the competitor will move on to the next round. If any participant of this tournament suspects any issues with their connection they must inform me via pm before the day of the tournament.

-All battles are best 2 out of 3: All battles against your competitor must be consecutive. As long as all three battles are done within the same 24 hour time period, the battles will count towards the tournament. If any of the battles are done outside this time period the battle will be voided to eliminate any possible confusion about what happened in a battle and who may have won. The only time a battle outside this time stamp will count towards this tournament is if sufficient battle videos are posted deeming a clear victor. It is recommended that all battles be recorded and sent to me as documentation of the tournament. None of these videos may be accessed or viewed by any other members while the tournament is running.

Rules of Registration

All members will be allowed to make any changes to their teams that they deem necessary before the day of the tournament. I will not permitt any team alterations on the day of the tournament and you will be disqualified if you are caught making any changes on that day. No exceptions.

If any members who have already registered a team wish to remove a Pokemon that was registered and reregister a new one they are allowed to come straight to me for the change. Again this must be done before the day of the tournament.
