Rules And Regulations

## Master Division

### Season 5

6 Pokemon (excluding Banned Pokemon) may be brought. You can have only 1 of each Pokemon and different forms don't count as different Pokemon. Battles take place in Doubles format. Battles are done on the Stormdriven Pokemon Showdown in a custom game, however all Pokemon must be legal and level 50 or lower. Violating the above will result in instant disqualification.

Trainers will face each other in Bo1s and the ones with the best standings at the end of the 10 day period will move into a Bo5 playoff scenario. Trainers may select a different set of Pokemon going into playoffs.

### Season 4

This season a draft format will be used. Each of the 5 teams will be given 1000 points to spend on 9 Pokemon (they also get their mascot or signature Pokemon for free). Each Pokemon will have a price based on how good/potentially good it can be in the meta. Banned Pokemon will not be included in the selection. If a Pokemon is picked by one team, no other team may pick it. Each team will get one pick (in order of last season's standings) with this process being repeated 9 times. Teams are not allowed to choose a Pokemon that would make them unable to choose any other Pokemon (drop below a point total). For further questions regarding the draft, you can contact Game Brain directly.

If both final Pokemon faint at the same time in any other way, the battle is a tie. Excessive stalling is banned.
