Masquerade Kickoff 
Tournament
Welcome to the Masquerade Kickoff Tournament!
So for a refresher on this Pet Mod's mechanics:
This Gen 9 based micrometa will give a set of masks, based on Ogerpon's masks to Pokemon that need them for it to become stronger!
These masks would work as closely as possible to Ogerpon's masks, but without the 1.2 boost from all attacks, which would be removed due to balance reasons, aside from that, these masks have the following effects:
-The holder would have a new type added, it can replace its primary type slot or its secondary type slot.
-The holder gains a new ability.
-One of the holder's moves changes to the type of the mask its wearing.
-When terastalizing, the user can only terastalize to the type of the mask
-When terastalized, gains a new ability, not necesarily an Embody Aspect clone.
This mod allows terastalization, but note that ONLY Pokemon holding a mask will be capable of it (exept Ogerpon), Pokemon are still able to hold other items, masks can only be held by the mon they were subbed with, the movepool of Pokemons that have not been on SV or SWSH will skip their BDSP movepool.
These Pokemon can also have custom moves, added and removed moves, stat changes and ability changes to their main forms.

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 DragonHeaven showdown server.
- Replays are mandatory. Since the upload replay feature seems to not work properly on the DragonHeaven server you will have to download the replay and share the downloaded replay in your message, or on the Pet Mods or Masquerade discord server.
- This is a single elimination tournament.
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.
