I'm glad you brought this topic up. My ruling is that everything that can be obtained in PokeMMO through legal means will be allowed in PBA. My reasoning to this is that I don't think it's a player's responsibility to remember the exact state of the PokeMMO previously broken mechanics prior to the update.

Editing OP is such a mess and it updates so unreliably, I copy & pasted them here.

I asked Parke for a gif, no other caption here.

Alright, these will be put in Challonge in this particular order without shuffling and that will tell who are your opponents for the first round. Thanks Rache~

Probably but it doesn't come close to the disadvantages a player has from drafting their whole team after everyone else, as far as I see it. A big part about drafting is building your team around the Pokemon you currently own and hopefully a large variety of them. I'm not super concerned about late counter teaming either in this format, it's pretty much impossible to counter 13 opponents with 8 Pokemon - it just doesn't happen. The main reason why I allowed late drafting was that it didn't contradict with my pre-determined rules which stated that drafting late would be allowed. I used this rule to not disqualify a player if they happened to miss a couple of rounds of live draft for whatever the reason and even that could technically be used as advantage to scout what everyone else drafted as well as give yourself more time to think. If it's agreed to be straight up broken to draft your team late then just never allow it to happen again but at this point for me having a sufficient amount of players is a big concern.

Right, I forgot to make an announcement. After Julian decided to drop out from this tournament, MatthewMLG contacted me and asked to take this last spot of this division. This was completely fine for me, especially because we were at 13 players currently in Omega division and byes in Swiss stage would suck. He submitted his team soon afterwards and his team will be: 1st Mamoswine 300 2nd Darmanitan 250 3rd Vaporeon 200 4th Durant 50 5th Cradily 50 6th Froslass 50 7th Archeops 50 8th Magmar Free
