Didn't see a thread about this yet, but what do you guys think about it? Basically, a Judge in London confirmed and even posted the site for the new rules for the VGC 2017 which will include a manual hack check (for illegal balls, illegal shinies, and impossible attacks), more strict team sheet penalties, and a bunch of required stuff like battle video saves.
Some people were asking her and she confirmed players can now also request that competitors have judges manually check their opponents games/Pokemon before matches to ensure EVs and IVs are the same as the match before, and to confirm nothing about their game seems non legit. This is apparently to cut back on cheating and genning in the VGC. At the very least it might help to clean up the meta a little and promote more healthy growth.
I hope they start staffing more strict judges next.
