User blog:Ricky Spanish/Beyblade Wiki 2013 Generation V Tournament

What better way to say farewell to Generation 5 of Pokemon? The answer is simple, a tournament! Introducing the Beyblade Wiki: Pokemon Tournament. This tournament would run in the last two weeks of March.

Rules

 * Each Player will battle with a full 6 on 6 team.
 * Players are allowed one alternate. The alternate may be swapped in between and only in between rounds.
 * Players must register all 7 Pokemon in comments along with friend code. They must provide the Pokemon's Ability upon registration.
 * The Tournament will be a Ladder tournament. Players must work their way through to the finals.
 * Players will have their Round 1 match-ups generated randomly by a computer, and not by a human.
 * Pokemon Restrictions do apply (see below)
 * The battle must be recorded and uploaded either to YouTube or the Global Terminal.
 * In the event of a player being disconnected, they forfeit.
 * Should a player urgently need to leave, they must forfeit and reschedule in the event that they cannot continue later on.
 * If you are cheating or messing around during a battle, you will be disqualified.

Clauses

 * Species Clause - A player cannot have two Pokemon with the same National Pokédex number on a team.
 * For example, using a team with two Koffing would break this clause. Using different formes on the same team, such as Rotom-W and Rotom-C, also breaks the clause since they share the same Pokédex number (#479).
 * Evasion Clause - A Pokemon may not have the moves Double Team or Minimize in its moveset.
 * OHKO Clause - A Pokemon may not have the moves Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold in its moveset.
 * Generally, this rule will be automatically enforced in simulator play. In Wi-Fi play, a player is considered to have broken the clause when a Pokemon is revealed to have been brought into the battle with a banned move.
 * Moody Clause - A team cannot have a Pokemon with the ability Moody.
 * No two Pokemon may hold the same item.
 * The Soul Dew is forbidden.
