Similar to [[Flat Battle]] mode, Pokémon of [[level]]s 51 and above were temporarily reduced to level 50, while Pokémon level 50 and below would retain their levels. [[Held item]]s could be used, but no two Pokémon from the same team could hold the same item. Players were not allowed to change their held items after they had registered. Players were allowed to change teams after Friday's preliminary tournament, if they advanced to Saturday.
