Welcome to the VGC Winter League II Admin Thread! Here I will be posting useful resources, regulations, and more!
<Spreadsheet>
Here are some Admin stuff pertaining to the tour!
- There will be 8 teams in Winter League II. Teams will field 8 starters and a minimum of 3 substitutes. There is no maximum team size.
- We will draft using an auction of 120K credits, with each bid (for a player) starting at 3k.
- Managers and assistant managers can buy themselves. A team buying 1 manager will pay 20k, 2 managers 35k. (You cannot buy all three managers)
- Format Overview is as follows:
- 8x VGC 2023 Series 1
- After much polling and discussion amongst the community and managers, we have agreed upon the following format:
- 5 closed teamsheet slots (with gentlemen's agreement for open) and 3 open teamsheet slots (which CANNOT be closed)
- Managers may agree to change the amount of closed and open slots in their weekly matchup (As long as they notify me)
- 8x VGC 2023 Series 1
- From Week 6 onwards, all matches are to be played in the Series 2 format. However, if players would like to gentlemen to Series 2 during Week 4 or 5, they may do so.
- There will be no retains in this iteration of VGC PL
- To keep the spirit of team preservation, open teamsheets cannot be shared with people not participating in VGC Winter League II. In addition, teamsheets are to stay within your team's Discord, not to be shared with other teams.
- If a player misses their scheduled time, after contacting the opposing team, the opponent can claim a win for Game 1 after 15 minutes, and Game 2 after 30 minutes assuming a substitute is not implemented.
- You may substitute a player if a player misses their match, but they must not be fielded in the current week in another slot
- Ghosting, Cheating, or aiding teammates or other players mid-match is strictly forbidden, and will be punished with a set loss and ban from Smogon VGC tournaments. (Could be temporary or permanent)
- Just use common sense. Be sportsmanlike, and don't be a nuisance. If it seems questionable, don't do it (or ask me). We're all here to have fun, don't try to ruin that
Here is the schedule for this tournament!
Weeks start on Wednesday because nobody ever plays on Monday and Tuesday, but having Monday and Tuesday at the end of the week as a buffer for busy weekends is always appreciated!
