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.
i feel like "types should only be used once per team" is kind of clear.. especially since it is listen before the 3 ou poke limit (heh the rules of this tourney seem totally arbitrary)
maybe if it was written as "you may not have any pokemon on your team with the same type"?
