Team Wars * Official Guidelines

[doulie]

War Is Here!
As part of our teams overhaul we are introducing Team Wars. Teams can go head to head to earn points that unlock different community priviliges exclusive to their theme.

Current War Loot
Permanent Cover Images for your entire team. (Cost 100 Points)
The First Team to 100 points can permanently unlock cover images for every member of their team.

How Points are earned?
Points are earned through 3v3 war matches.
You may challenge another team by posting in this forum. Each team must then state the 3 team members who will be representing their team in the war.
- The challenger must state the three members representing his team in their challenger's post
- If the team being challenged accepts, they must then respond with the 3 members representing their team in the war.
- The challenger then decides who fights who for the war matches.
Example of challenger's post:
http://perfectpokemon.com/threads/challenge-to-team-elite.3197/

Matches are:
Battle format One on One 6v6
Sleep Clause (you may not put two of your opponent's Pokémon to sleep)
Items Clause (no more that 1 of the same item)
Dupe Clause (no more than 1 of the same Pokemon per team)
Evasion Clause (may not use a move which has the sole effect of raising Evasion, namely Double Team and Minimize)
- Battles can take place on showdown only if BOTH PARTIES agree to it.
- Matches may differ from this format only if both teams agree before hand, and it is clearly stated in the war post.
- Any war participant found in violation of these rules are immediately disqualified and a point is awarded to the opposing team.


Each individual victory earns your - Team 1 point.
Two out of three individual victories will name your team winner of the war
- Winning Team earns 3 points in addition to the individual victory points
- Your team will receive a 5 point bonus at the 25, 50 and 75 point mark.

Each team member can only be active in TWO 'in progress' wars at a time.
- After your battle in a war, you are no longer considered active in that war, even if the was is still in progress.

You cannot fight the same opponent in consecutive wars.

The challenger must update their post with the win/loss of the 3 fights in the war and update the war status to 'War Ended' when the war is over.

Each team can report war / individual victories by responding to this post and including a link to the war where the victory was earned.

Any Team Member of a team can start a war
- Must have two other teammates ready to fight at the point of issuing the war challenge
- Members cannot be active in another war currently in progress
- Challengers must update their challenge status between 'Challenge Issued, War In Progress and War Ended' when appropriate.

Wait so can i go based on the ubers ban list thats linked in the gym challenge info

That is the most updated list, you should go by that until the new one is released in the upcoming week ideally
For gym battles if you own a gym you go by that list and you're allowed to have one uber, if you're a challenger then you go by standard OU

I have an idea, its sorta hard to explain, but il do my best. Lets say the play style for Team Wars (TW) has changed to each team having 3+ generals. Each general will build a squad of battlers prior to the war. Then have some sort of bracket set up, and have the generals use their own squad to move through the brackets. After the squad is KOd its up to the general to keep the team alive until the final battle. As for matchmaking, have the generals play rock paper scissors on who gets to decide who battles who, as if there is some tactical playstyle potential.
