It's not a misplay, it's RNG manipulation

First and foremost, after looking at the comments in the commencement thread and signup interest of the various formats, the following things have been decided:
First and foremost, after looking at the comments in the commencement thread and signup interest of the various formats, the following things have been decided:
- Teams will be facing each other in the following formats on Pokemon Showdown:
- SM Battle Spot Singles
- SM Battle Spot Singles
- SM Battle Spot Doubles
- ORAS Battle Spot Singles
- ORAS Battle Spot Doubles
- GBU Singles
- Because the battles will be teamlocked best-of-three sets, players are required to open all 3 battles with the same team at once before starting their first game. This is done to help prevent players from changing the Pokemon set to gain an advantage between the games. Of course, it is still possible to cheat this system and load a slightly different team while opening the three games. Players found to be doing this will be given the loss and will be disqualified from the tournament.
- Managers can buy themselves as players for 10k. However, they must buy themselves BEFORE the draft starts (managers can tell me right before in the draft chat if they want to). Managers who did not buy themselves and have funds remaining later on in the draft will be unable to use those funds on themselves. Choose wisely.
- Teams can only trade ONE player AFTER the draft is over. There can be no trades in the middle of the auction, whether it be for a player or for funds. In order for a trade to be completed it must be accepted by both managers involved and myself. I reserve the right to stop a trade if I feel like it is gaming the system in some way that undermines the tournament.
