Garrin is your server 24/7? The tournament will start in about a month, so let's see how this will proceed, the server is the last problem (In Italy we have some hosters too). Thanks anyway  |

It's WaterWizard's server and he will have it up 24/7 I believe.
How're spots on Romania or USA looking?

Looks stupid. No offense.
But final rules are pretty ridiculous, considering the opinions of several pretty knowledgable GSC people being dropped in favor of some unknown "Professor Elm" character.
If it's a curiosity thing, then ok, but you guys seem pretty dead serious that this is "fair" rules and not the gimmick it really is.

Hidden power is specifically banned on electric legendaries? Really guys? Curselax banned but not LKDrumLax or other variants? Borat, I think you have a point.

Well, HP on electric legendaries makes some kind of sense. HP legends is a historical ban, and really, the only HP legends worth using are the electrics. Not a great ban, but it has (had) precedent. It wasn't really supported by anyone but Elm, though.
Curselax ban, though, is pretty weird. If you're going to go out of your way to ban Curselax, I'm not entirely sure why you wouldn't just go the whole nine yards and flatout ban Snorlax in general. But, whatever, Curselax is the most popular set, and if limiting primarily the defensive aspect of Lax is the goal, then Curselax ban accomplishes that.
Anyway, as far as I know, the rule discussion thread was reopened (probably because so many people were commenting on how silly the rules were, particularly the Curselax ban). Idk if anything will come of it, though.
But, yeah, these bans, if they remain, would definitely make this tourney more of a gimmick than a straight-up GSC OU tourney. Not that that's a bad thing. It's just that... y'know... it's not "actual" GSC.

Heh, reminds me of a time when I started playing GSC again and I led with HP Grass Zapdos. I OHKOed some kid's Quagsire with it and he started cursing me out, calling me a cheater, saying I should be publicly castrated, etc.
Pokemon is serious business.

If he expected a meta with no HP legends, then he's at fault for using Quagsire instead of, say, Marowak.
And of course pokemon is srs bsns. But I, personally, reserve the castration penalty for those who use sleep trap.

So, is the USA team already formed?
If not, as far as we knows there's only WaterWizard, so there might be 2 + 1 (sub) spots
