Welcome to the fourth annual All-Star Clan War! This is the preliminary round of the event in which the clans participating in the North Division shall compete against each other as well as one inter-division clan in order to see who will be crowned Division Champion and Division Runner-up. Those two clans will represent this division in the Final Knock-Out Round. Good luck to Chaotic Flygons, Obsessive Trolling 101, and Antiquus Fortis on their first step to the 2012 Pokémon Clan Forum Champion title!
Each clan that chooses to participate will be required to select three members to represent their starting line-up. (These members cannot be starting for another clan at the same time during sign-ups or the competition period.)
Each clan will select one clan leader that will be in charge of maintaining that clan's starting roster and possible substitutions between members. (This representative can be an actual clan leader or appointed ambassador for that leader. In the case of an ambassador, the actual clan leader may step in to take control at any time.)
Substitution System: Clan leaders or ambassadors will have the power to substitute members of the starting roster with any individual that is currently in their clan that is willing to participate and is not currently starting for another clan. To make a substitution official, you must notify the competition host (JesseTheKing) prior to swapping. (Switching starting member positions in a particular match-up through substitution swaps will not be permitted unless authorized by competition host.)
Trade System: During the competition, clans will be allowed to trade members that are on their starting rosters on the following conditions.
The members that are up for trade must be in the same clans.
Both the two clan leaders and the two clan members must agree to the swap.
Competition host must be notified of trade prior to arrangements.
☆Divisional Round
This is the preliminary round of the event. When signing your clan up, you must choose one of four divisions (North, South, East, West). There will be up to 4 clans in each division. Each clan in each division will face off in 3 on 3 clan wars in addition to one inter-divisional match-up with their members. The final record of each clan will be determined by the number of clans beaten, individual battles, and Pokémon remaining in battles. The clans with the top two records in each division will qualify for the Final Knock-Out Round. Click here to view the current status of the Divisional Round.
Spoiler:Announcement Regarding the Japanese Release of Pokémon Black and White 2
Announcement
I've been getting a few concerns about the new meta-game that's been put in place with the release of Pokémon Black and White 2 in Japan. There has been many changes in the game-play such as the release of event Pokémon, new forms for Pokemon, and new move tutor moves. People have been wondering whether or not we will adapt to it during the course of this event. So I found it necessary to inform you that we will be sticking to the meta-game as of June 21, 2012, the starting date of this event and before the release of Pokémon Black and White 2 in Japan. We will continue to use the rules we have now and will continue to not include Keldeo, Meloetta, Genesect, the new forms of Landorus, Thundurus, and Tornadus, Uber Pokémon, and any move tutor moves that were introduced in Pokémon Black and White 2. We will be keeping all of the rules since the event started. I do not want to give battlers privileges later in the competition that weren't originally given during the start of this event and before the release of Pokémon Black and White 2. I will be notifying everyone in this tournament and also placing this announcement in the rules of each first post. Clan leaders please get the word out in case not everyone sees this. Thank you for the cooperation.
☆Overview of Rules and Methods of Battling
All battles in this competition will adhere to Smogon University's OU Battling Rules for 5th Generation, 6 vs. 6, Single Battles as of June 21, 2012. Pokémon Online battles are encouraged to be carried out on Smogon University's server (Advanced Connection 173.233.95.2:5080) under Standard OU, and Wi-Fi battles should be set to No Restrictions with Wonder Launcher Off while still incorporating these rules. Hacked Pokémon will be acceptable as long as they do not have impossible stats, moves, abilities, genders; the Pokémon cannot be unreleased. Intentional disconnecting or breaking of the competition rules will result in disqualification. ☆Ban List
The clan match-ups will rotate each round until each clan has faced each other in addition to one inter-divisional match-up.

Welcome to the North Division of the 2012 All-Star Clan War IV Forums Championships! You will use this thread to communicate and battle between each clan and arrange match-ups. If any issues come about that I have not addressed yet then please don't hesitate to let me know and I will take care of it ASAP.
Quick Announcement As for Antiquus Fortis, I told captain boo about it but I had you guys moved from the West Division to here in regards to my message I posted in the main thread a few days back; since no one volunteered I had to randomly pick a clan in order for this to work. Sorry for any inconvenience. ------ During the ASCW IV, we will allow people to subscribe to a daily notification list that will keep you updated on battles across every division and the competition as a whole. If you wish to subscribe to All-Star Clan War IV updates, notify or PM JesseTheKing. If you wish to opt out, then please be sure to notify me of that as well.
