Welcome to the 4th edition of the Doubles Premier League!
FAQHow does DPL work?
There will be 6 teams, each with their own captain. Captains will do a snake draft on Pokemon Showdown, where they will take turns nominating and bidding in an auction for players who signed up to assemble their teams with limited credits available. The teams will then play one another for 5 weeks, with a new opponent each week. This will culminate with a Playoffs week consisting of the Top 2 teams overall from the 5-week main season.
How does one signup as a player?
Player signups will begin on Tuesday, March 26, and will run until the draft. Watch the forum for the thread to sign up.

What is this thread about?
In this thread, feel free to discuss anything regarding DPL before it begins. This is meant to be a place for players to voice their opinions and help us decide some key things regarding DPL. Some points of discussion are:
1. Should captains be allowed to play?
- This was allowed last year
2. If so, what restrictions should be in place or in what manner should this be done?
- Last year, managers were given the option to buy themselves for 10k prior to the auction and could play in any slot during the main season
3. What Doubles formats should be used this year?
- Last year, there were 6 playing slots for each team: 3 SM DOU, 2 ORAS DOU, and 1 BW DOU
- There has been some discussion about increasing the number of playing slots to 8
4. If we were to increase to 8 slots, should we add new formats? (e.g. DUU or DUbers)
Feel free to bring up anything else you find relevant and worth discussing regarding DPL.
