RULES  Theme: Single-Round Robin 6 v 6, Lv 50/100 Battle (Single)
You must only use Pokemon of a similar elemental type.
Due to special circumstances, new entrants into the league must only choose one of the following unclaimed types to tryout for: Water, Fighting, Ground, Fire, Electric, Psychic, Rock, Ice, Bug, Dragon*, Ghost and Steel.
Only one non-uber legendary Pokemon may be used per team, per battle.
Update 09/04/09 * Due to the special circumstances that both Garchomp and Latias have been recently banned by our version of the Uber Clause, Dragon-type users are going to be allowed to use Pokemon from the Dragon egg group as well those actually of the Dragon-type. Those included on this addition are: Charizard, Arbok, Gyarados, Sceptile, Seviper and Milotic. General Rules If you used a cheating device like AR, CB, or GS to hack in fake Pokémon, max stats, etc. then please do not scam us and enter this tournament. This is only open to honest trainers with official teams. If you can't find shinnies and your friends hack them for you and trade them to you, don't enter. If you don't feel confident about your team, just don't enter. Play fair. Trust in your own abilities.
Please do not disconnect from the match and make up a bogus excuse to cover it up. Make sure you have a strong WiFi signal. If not, just don't enter.
Voice chat must be turned off.
Clauses in Effect Species Clause: All of your Pokémon must be different.
Sleep Clause: You can only put 1 of your opponent's Pokémon to sleep at a single time.
Self-KO Clause: Your Pokémon cannot use moves like Explosion or Self-Destruct to win if it's the only Pokémon remaining on your team. The same applies for Perish Song and Destiny Bond.
Uber Clause: The following pokemon are deemed to be unbalancingly powerful and are not allowed to be used:
Update 08/25/09 Despite Smogon's decision to remove Latias from the Uber tier and place it into the OU tier, here at D/P Gaming, Latias will still be considered illegal to use and will be included as being banned by our version of the Uber Clause until further notice.
Evasion Clause: Moves like Double Team and Minimize are banned from being used.
Luck "Hax" Item Clause: When this clause is in effect, that means the following items are banned from use: Brightpowder, Quick Claw, Focus Band and King's Rock.
OHKO Clause: Moves like Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill and Sheer Cold are banned from use.
FAQ  Can I be the gym leader of the gym?Yes! But only if you earn it by placing high enough in this tournament. If you'd like to try out for a gym leader spot, be sure you read all the rules and just post your friend code on this thread and state which Elemental type you are trying out for. What is a Round Robin style tournament?In a round-robin tournament or all-play-all tournament, each participant plays every other participant an equal number of times, and in this case, once, and the winner(s) will be based upon the number of wins-to-losses ratio.Who will be chosen to be Gym leaders? The winners?Essentially that's how the tournament will play out and those that win the most matches will be made into gym leaders, though there is one exception to that as well. As only a single person can be the leader of a single type, in this tournament, you must not only try to place high on the overall standings but you must also place higher than your rival same type team opponents. Example: Say if there are 2 people with Fire teams and they somehow place 1st and 2nd in the overall tournament. In that case, only the person who placed first will be the gym leader over the Fire gym, as there will be no two gyms with the same type. And say if an Electric team placed 3rd behind the two Fires, then that Electric team wins the leadership of the Electric gym. So essentially, if you lose to another Fire team, you still have a chance of winning the leader status if your able to beat more of the other types than your rival(s). Only then, we feel the guild would have stronger, well rounded leaders. How many leaders will be chosen from this tournament?As there are already 5 current gym leaders, only 3 will be chosen this time around out of all the entrants to be gym leaders. This is not to be mean and exclude anybody, but to ensure that only the best obtain such a title of gym leader, we wish for them to be exceptional battlers. How come there are already Gym leaders? Isn't that what this tournament is for?Yes, that is what this tournament is for, but the 5 current gym leaders obtained their positions in previous tournaments, and as such, will not have to renew their titles this time around. Why are some of the Gym Leaders competing in the tournament? They we're given permission to join the tournament to further gain some battle experience, test out their teams and to challenge the new gym leader candidates at no cost of losing their own status as gym leaders. Their participation in this tournament is strictly voluntarily.Can those competing in the tournament be dropped from the tournament due to inactivity? Yes. In fact, if a contestant misses a collective of three (3) previous match battles, they will be automatically dropped from the tournament. Hence why it is not mandatory that they finish the matches within the time frame of each round, but it is of course important that they get these matches done as soon as possible. These missed matches will be shown as yellow boxes in the overall tournament standings.

Of course friend. It wouldn't be any fun if any of our apprentices couldn't move up in the world.
Just remember that you can only use the types aside from Poison, Flying, Normal, Dark, and Grass.

Well friend, since you would be representing Nitrox's gym, you may want to ask him to see if you can battle in his stead. After all, Last tournament, we had Burner represent Kyrenx's type. Though, remember, using a type that is prohibited from this tournament, you will not be able to obtain a position as a gym leader under that type.

Cormini Well friend, since you would be representing Nitrox's gym, you may want to ask him to see if you can battle in his stead. After all, Last tournament, we had Burner represent Kyrenx's type. Though, remember, using a type that is prohibited from this tournament, you will not be able to obtain a position as a gym leader under that type. It was my pleasure to serve my Gym Leader. Of course this year I shall actually be battling under a new type. I've been training all year for this.
