Pokémon USA says its Tournament Rules of Play will be in effect, and players should research them when building their teams. Each player must use four Pokémon from the North American versions of Diamond and Pearl. The tournament will use double battles (two vs. two), and all Pokémon must be Lv.50 or lower. A full list of rules, including banned Pokémon and moves, is located at http://showdown.pokemon.com/rules/qualifier_rules.xhtml. | Pokémon USA says its Tournament Rules of Play will be in effect, and players should research them when building their teams.

Causing controversy among some players is the announcement that random checks will be performed on participants' game cartridges to eliminate those with hacked Pokémon or items. The official rules state that even if a player has not personally used a game alteration device (e.g. Action Replay), but has received a hacked Pokémon via trade or the {{bp|Global Trade Station}}, he or she will be disqualified from the tournament. The rules say each player is responsible for making sure his or her cartridge does not contain hacked data. | |||
