If you are looking for manager signups click here.
If you wish to play in the Hackmons Cup Premier League, you must sign up using the form below. The Hackmons Cup Premier League is a 7-week event at minimum and has the potential to stretch on a bit further depending on tiebreak situations, or team expansions depending on signups. Only sign up if you can be active for the majority of this time, as a high level of activity is expected. This includes several things, such as communicating with your team and getting your games done, as well as maintaining a competitive attitude even after your team has already been eliminated. For general guidelines on what to do and what not to do, refer to Luigi's guidelines here. If you have questions about the tour you can ask either me Test Rex or the co-host Electra102.
General rulings that will take effect during the tour:
- Managers will be allowed to purchase themselves and/or their assistant manager as players for their team for a fixed price of 13.5k.
- Each team must draft a minimum of 10 players (8 players + 2 subs) using 100k credits.
- This is subject to change based on signup interest.
- Trades may not occur.
- Tourbanned users may not participate.
- The tiers not played option is binding; if you select any tiers not played, you will not be able to play in them, period (except in playoffs).
- Tiers preferred is not binding
- There will be a severe penalty for any team that picks up a known alt of a banned player, or any player masquerading as another person to lower their cost in the auction. This has not been a big issue in the past, but it is important to establish that both parties will be penalized immediately and harshly if they are found doing so.
- In the event that a player displays excessively unsportsmanlike behavior or breaks any of the PS Global Rules or Smogon-wide posting rules (including in team discords), the hosts will investigate on a case-by-case basis. In the event that a player must be ejected from a team for their behavior, managers will be allowed to pick one player from the undrafted pool at no cost.

If you are interested in playing, be aware that any team may buy you, and you are expected to play for any one of them. Only list tiers in your signup that you are willing to play. While these aren't binding, it will affect how the managers will see you, and you are expected to play them if necessary. If you would not consider seriously playing a tier in a tournament, do not list it. Do not make dumb joke posts about playing tiers you don't care for. Once again, tiers not played is binding!
You are generally expected to participate in your team's Discord. While we understand that activity levels may vary, this is the core portion of PL type of tournaments and what makes it fun. Your team's Discord server is where your team will hang out, discuss strategies, and just have fun without worrying about the game. This is where teams come together (or fall apart), and it is likely the most integral part of the entire tournament.
Signups will be open until 10th May at 23:59pm GMT -4 . Have a great season, everyone!
