Tournament AGPL VI - Manager Signups [Custom Avatar Prize]

[Concept]

Art by sleepyzen​

Welcome to AGPL VI! We'll start off by selecting 6 managers. This AGPL will feature 6 teams and so there will be 5 weeks of round robin and 2 weeks of playoffs (not counting any potential tiebreakers). That places the end of the tournament sometime in early-mid August. All teams must have one manager available from June through early August. If you know you won't have access to the internet at any point during that time, you will be able to pick out an assistant manager from the players you draft to act as an assistant manager if you didn't include an assistant manager in your signup post. Failure to send the team's weekly lineup will result in the prior weeks lineup being used.

This year's tier selection is as follows:
- SV
- SV
- SV
- Best of Three: SV
- SS
- USUM
- ORAS
- Best of Three: SV / SS / USUM

If you want to manage a team in AGPL V, make a post below to apply. Managers will be decided by the tournament hosts, Eledyr, Kinetic and myself, as well as the AG moderation team. This thread will be open for one week.

Assistant Manager (if applicable): Fluore
Bio, (including accomplishments and why you would make a good manager): We won AGWL as a managing pair earlier this year and are ready to run it back for AGPL.
I made it to finals of the last AGPL while on the goated Lion’s Den, and got 5-3 during UMPL for AG. We’re looking to keep the momentum going with this year’s AGPL.

I don’t listen to BLACKPINK or any K-Pop but it kinda goes hard with Tapu Lele ngl

Why would we be good managers? Well, Ina has experience on many tours in Smogon, and has been a manager in Oupl, BSSPL and we are currently captaining in Cappl, she is someone very competitive so she will do whatever it takes to lead our team to Victory. She has done finals and individual tours, participated in circuits and is someone very versatile capable of playing any tier at a good level.

Taking the OMINOUS SHEDINJAS with A plague doc
I have a lot of experience managing teamtours, having managed PUPL, PTPL, RUGL, ZUWC, NDWC, DOU Derby and BDSPPL, and i believe that gives me the background knowledge one needs to be a good manager. A Plague Doc is managing BDSPPL with me and is in the World Cup of Pokemon, plus they like the tier and definitely will put a lot of effort into being a solid co-manager.
