NOTICE: THIS SECTION IS CONSTANTLY BEING UPDATED, IF YOU WANT TO SUGGEST SOMETHING GO AHEAD HOWEVER THIS IS MADE FOR EVERYONE AND THE RULES WILL NOT BE UPDATES JUST TO YOUR LIKING. TOURNAMENT HOLDERS WILL DECIDE WEITHER A RULE SHOULD BE ALLOWED OR NOT EVEN IF IT WASN'T SUGGESTED. COME BACK TO THIS SOON INCASE UPLOADED
 * You must have a digital and/or physical copy of Pokemon X, Y, OmegaRuby or AlphaSapphire as the tournament name suggest, no bootlegs please.
 * Any illegal downloaded Pokemon and items will make you banned from the tournament and possible pokemon tournaments we have in the future do not use them. This means do not create pokemon and items that have not been out yet, or Pokemon and Items created by a cheating device such as a game shark or Action Replay. This also means Volcanion, Hoopa, and Unbound Hoopa are banned as they have not been officially released. Hacking a Mega Evolution as normal pokemon to avoid such things are banned do not do them.
 * One entry per participant.
 * Anthything goes, which means almost anything is allowed in battle anything that isn't is shown below. Although Anything Goes is a Smogon tier created by Smogon, we realize that there should bea more fair way of doing, such as over excessive legendaries. We want this to be as fun a possible. Do not break these in game rules or you will be banned from the tournament and possible Pokemon tournaments in the future
 * Mega Evolution is allowed however some Pokemon that are capable of Mega Evolution is not allowed this will be explained later.
 * Red Orb and Blue Orb is not allowed, this also means Primal Reversion is not allowed either.
 * Any Pokemon from the dex numbers 1-721 are allowed except a select few Pokemon and forms not allowed include: Mewtwo, Mega Mewtwo X, Mega Mewtwo Y, Mew, Ho-Oh, Lugia, Celebi, Jirachi, Deoxys, Groudon, Primal Groudon, Kyogre, Primal Kyogre, Rayquaza, Mega Rayquaza, Palkia, Dialga, Giratina Origin and Altered, Shaymin Sky and Land, Darkrai, Manaphy (Phione is alright), Arceus, Victini, Reshiram, Zekrom, Kyurem, Black Kyrurem, White Kyruem, Meloetta Aria, Meloetta Pirouette, Genesect, Xerenas, Yveltal, Zygarde and finally Diancie. Please reread about hacked Pokemon above to learn more about what other Pokemon are banned.
 * Although Pokemon X and Y and Pokemon OmegaRuby and AlphaSapphire are the same generation of Pokemon and you are allowed to use either side of the version, we suggest to have a copy of ORAS as ORAS contains forms and mega evolutions that are not in XY's data such as Cosplay Pikachu, Mega Altaria and Mega Sableye. Mega Latias and Mega Latios get a free pass as they are in XY's data. If you happen to be in a situation where one person has OR/AS and the other has X/Y, CLAMLY discuss how things will go either forfeit or play with XY rules.
