What if 6v6 Singles was played with the same ruleset that the official formats use? That means no Smogon bans or clauses, only the rules that have been prescribed for the official formats, just made for a 6v6 format. This is different from Anything Goes because there are bans on the restricted legendaries and there is still a species clause. Unlike OU however, there are no other bans. No sleep clause, no ban on baton pass, nothing.
There is a new ladder called "Freedom Cup" on Pokemon Showdown where a ladder tournament will take place, almost identical in format to OLT, Smogon's Official Ladder Tournament.
