Posted for Shiv as he can't access smogon right now. His words not mine:
Alright, we've had tons of discussion about the SPL (Smogon Premier League) and honestly speaking, there are some issues on which I would prefer to see poll results.
These are:
Issue #1: Auction System vs Draft System
I've already explained a rough overview of the auction system in the other thread. Drafts would basically work like: 1 2 ... 11 12 12 11 ... 2 1.
Advantages of the Auction System:
- Much more strategy on the part of the managers.
- Makes trades more interesting as people can trade money etc.
- Much more fairer in terms of who gets the big names. You want the best? You pay and get them.
Advantages of the Draft System:
- Gets rid of the money concept completely.
- Relatively simpler to understand.
- Managers who are not that upto date with pokemon can get a good battler early to help them out.
The draft order would obviously be random but it CAN become very unfair to teams who are placed at like #11 or #12.
Personally, if we could solve the problem of incentives for people to want to earn more money, I would like to do the auction system.
Issue #2: Multi-Gen vs DPPt
Right, when I say multi-gen, I mean something like this:
3 DP OU
1 DP UU
1 DP Uber
1 RBY
1 GSC
1 ADV
DPPt would look something like this:
4 DP OU
2 DP UU
2 DP Uber
Personally, I think Multi-Gen is not so much more complicated and would be a lot of fun. It also seperates this league from what the tour is all about. Additionally, getting 12 people to battle ONCE a week in RBY is not hard at all. So I don't think people should vote against this if they think that getting the games done will be an issue.
Anyway, please vote for whichever one you think should be done.
