I'd join if it wasn't for item clause.
In 6v6 Singles, that'd really mess me over.
I'm only used to playing with item clause in VCG format.

I used to be messed up by item clause as well, I had leftovers on a few things, and choice scarf on two. But then I realized- by having them all with the same items, I wasn't really having as much variety as I could. If they can take down one of my leftovers easily, chances are they can destroy one or both of the others too; so I'd really reccomend testing out new items and sets on Showdown, I've kept largely the same team, but on one set none of them even use leftovers!
All in all, I'm just saying you want to make sure if item clause is bad for you, that your team is still evenly balanced. :3

Ok, so I'm gonna take a page from some random book and make a nice little quote-to-sign-up thing since some people are confusing me on whether they're in or not.

@Prof_Clayton It'd be possible for me to run a team without the same items, but my main Singles team that I'm playing with at the moment wouldn't be possible.
How come you're using it for this tournament?

Actually, thinking on it, it isn't really a necessary clause to have. I'll think on it, and might just get rid of it. I may also change it to allowing a single dupicate item, or something. Its mainly to prevent like 6 focus shashes or 6 leftovers with protect. I'll just need to think of if we need it or not.
(Sorry about this confusion, its my fault; should have had the rules sorted out better ahead of time ._. ).

@Prof_Clayton Haha, it's all good.
Reason I was wondering is these seem pretty much like Smogon rules as far as I can tell, with the exception of them not using item clause.

How to find out if they are using banned items? I was thinking of an solution to use Pokemon with an ability Frisk to determine that but its only for that battle and it is 5 vs 5 in this case.

I guess we have to "trust" the NL community.

PS: I'm not in the tournament to let you know.

Umm… Care to have some gravy?

I don't think it is allowed either. OP and I forgot about that item.

@Prof are people allowed to change their teams between matches? :-?

That falls under the Evasion Clause. So banned.

Yeah, of course. :3

And I've decided to drop the item clause, anything abusing items would be gimmicky and not really too bad to handle.

I don't think Zygarde is Uber.
