THE BATTLING RULES

I just wanna go ahead and lay down the general rules for on battling on this site, there are only four:

1.) NO ILLEGAL ALTERED STATS (I.E. NO ALL MAX E.V.S)
2.) NO USE OF ACTION REPLAYS WHILE BATTLING
3.) NO TRADING OR CHANGING TEAMS WHILE IN A TOURNAMENT
4.) NO (UNNATURAL) HACKED MOVES OR ABILITIES

FOR ANYONE WHO BREAKS THE RULES, THERE ARE 3 PUNISHMENTS

1.)FIRST TIME OFFENSE-DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE CURRENT TOURNAMENT/CHALLENGE AND 1 WEEK PROBATIONARY PERIOD

2.)SECOND TIME OFFENSE-DISQUALIFICATION FROM THE NEXT 3 TOURNAMENTS-CHALLENGES AND 1 MONTH PROBATIONARY PERIOD

3.)THIRD OFFENSE- LIFETIME BAN

This is just to keep hacking in check, happy battling everybody!
