Megas Revisited is a Gen 6 OU-based Pet Mod in which every Mega Evolution was removed, redesigned, and added back into the OU metagame, giving a fresh coat of paint on the first full generation that I got into competitive Pokémon with! These redesigns also included previously banned Megas, even Blaziken (who's base form is legal due to a complex ban), giving you more options than before.

Tournament Specific Rules
- All general rules apply. Click here for guidelines about scheduling matches.
- Matches are Best of 3, which means that the first person to win two games wins the set and moves on in the tournament.
- Matches are to be played in the Dragon Heaven Showdown Server. It is very highly recommended that you use the Dragon Heaven client, which makes teambuilding and battling much easier. Said client is linked above.
- Replays are mandatory. It's highly recommended that you both upload AND download the replay, to ensure that if the replay gets overwritten, we still have it for the purposes of usage stats.
- If metagame changes occur during the middle of a round (such as balance changes), they will take effect the next round later.
- This is a single elimination tournament.
- The winner of the tournament receives $10 USD, which will be sent through PayPal (PayPal account required to receive it).
Identity
About playing on alts: It is entirely allowed to play on an alt other than your own main forum name, though if your opponent wishes to confirm your identity, you must log on to your main alt to show them you are who you claim to be. This is to prevent people from pretending to be who they're not.
Scouting
On scouting opponents: Going through your opponents replays of tournament and ladder games is entirely allowed, as long as a game is public there is nothing preventing you from watching it. An exception to this is abusing powers granted to you by being staff on Smogon or PS! to gain access to information a normal user wouldn't have access to, which is strictly forbidden.
On leaking teams: Divulging private information about someone's planned team to their opponent is never allowed, and will be heavily sanctioned. Requesting that such information be divulged is also grounds for punishment. Keep your scouting to publicly available information and you'll be fine.
Timer Clause / Disconnections
On Timeout losses: A player that loses by having all his time run out loses the game. This is only not the case if the player that received the timeout loss can be verified to have suffered a True Disconnection. Rematches are only allowed if there was a True Disconnection.
On True Disconnection: The TD team has a secret threshold of seconds that your timer must be at or above, from the moment you disconnect, for a timeout loss to be considered a True disconnection.
