When LCPL? Now LCPL.

This year we'll be doing manager signups for the purpose of allowing prospective managers to have at least some say in what retains they'll be able to pick from. Please make sure you read the following carefully. Returning managers and prospective new managers have separate formats for signing up, make sure to use the correct format!

If you are a returning manager looking to reclaim your team from last year, use the following format. Returning managers will be given preference to reclaim their existing teams, but they may not take over a team that was not previously theirs. If you want to change your team's name from last year, please write the new team name in the team name section and the old team name in the previous team section. If you intend to keep the same name then put it in both sections. If you're unsure what name you want to go with please feel free to leave that section blank and edit it in later!

Manager name:
Team name:
Returning manager:
Previous team:

example:

Manager name: Coconut
Team name: Cleffa Club
Returning manager: yes
Previous team: Pancham Fam

For new managers, the returning managers have preference to claim their previous teams, so when choosing a team to take over try to choose one that will not be taken. The list of last year's teams are below, as well as a link to the pricelist so you can familiarize yourself with the options for retains. Use the following format to sign up. If you intend to keep the same team name as last year regardless of which team you ultimately receive then put "Same name" in the team name section. If you're unsure what name you want to go with please feel free to leave that section blank and edit it in later!

Manager name:
Team name:
Team preference 1:
Team preference 2:

example:

Manager name: Merritt
Team name: Snivy Subterfuge
Team preference 1: BabyBoySwablus
Team preference 2: Skitty Committee

note: you are not guaranteed your first or second choice, particularly if previous managers for those teams choose to reclaim them!

Last year's teams:

BabyBoySwablus
Activity Call Archens
Greed Up Geodudes
Pakistani Phanpys
Shambled Shellos
Skitty Committee
Pancham Fam
Taillow Swifts

Retainer Rules

Only one retain is allowed this year. Teams may not retain more than one player, though they may retain none at all if they wish.

To retain a player, they must have been either bought at auction (either live or midseason) or have been retained that team the previous year. Players who were traded will not be eligible for retention. Retention rights may not be traded. Managers from last year are not eligible for retain.

The cost to retain a player on their first year as a retention will be the HIGHER of the following two scenarios:
  1. the amount that the player went for in the last auction + 3k (ex. if jake was bought for 13k, it would cost 16k to retain him)
  2. 10k, if the previous price + 3k would end up being lower than 10k (ex. if jake was bought for 6k, his retaining cost would be 10k, not 9k)
Remember that a player bought for under 10k during last year's auction will not necessarily cost just 10k to retain. If jake was bought for 9k in last year's auction, he would cost 12k to retain this year, not 10k.

Managers will be allowed to purchase playing rights for themselves at a price determined at a later date.


Manager signups will remain open for approximately one week. This LCPL will be hosted by Merritt and Vileman.

Took last year off to host and would love to take the Phanpy name back (even if not the team itself) if at all possible.

3.5 years managing, 2/3 playoff appearances, 1 win
Discovered tko
Good precedent to allow hosts to come back to managing (doesn't discourage hosting in the future)
Managed in other tours, familiar with value of players
Does the least popular job in LC for free (alongside Merritt)
