Today, Section 6 in the Pokemon Video Game Formats and Rules document was updated with the following statement.
"Players may not intentionally play a match to a tie nor agree to record a match as a tie without playing."
According to VG Tournament Planner Chris Brown with TPCi, "The penalty for violating this rule should be a double-game loss. In other words: Intentional draws in the Pokémon VG are now expressly forbidden."
My guess is that this is effective today and will cover the upcoming VGC Regional Events.
This does not affect TCG - Video Game only.
