CAP Team Tournament Signups!
Hosted by Snobalt
Sign ups are now open for our second CAPTT! This thread will be open for the next few weeks, so be sure to sign up while you can. The auction is tentatively scheduled to take place on May 28th 9 PM Pacific time (Midnight Eastern), with the playing season starting on June 13th. The tournament will follow a Monday-to-Sunday playing week.
This year, the tournament will have six format slots; ORAS / ORAS / ORAS / CAP Dubs / BW / CAP Monotype. For those of you who participated last year, this means that CAP Monotype will be the new format, replacing CAP DPP. Furthermore, a third ORAS slot is now added. CAP Monotype will be default to bo1; however, if BOTH players agree to a bo3 before the start of the first match, a bo3 may be played instead.
The premise of CAPTT is very similar to other team tournaments, such as LCPL. Everyone who signs up will be eligible to be bid on during an auction by our team managers (called CAPtains). The CAPtain who bids the most on a player will add that player to his/her team. Each CAPtain will attempt to build/buy a solid team of players that can play well in all of the tournament's formats. Once the season starts, teams will face each other in head to head matches each week. If a team wins four or more matches in a week, then they win the week. If both opposing teams end a week at 3-3, then that week will be a tie for those teams. At the end of the regular season, the two teams with the best record will move onto the finals, where one final group of matches will be played.
Now, time to introduce the team

- Reply and say your Smogon name and your main PS names (if different than your Smogon username)
- List which tiers you think you'll be good in / the ones you want to play in (ORAS, CAP Dubs, BW, CAP Monotype)
- If you want to sign up for non-playing roles (or a combination of playing and non-playing roles), please add in another line to explain. Team Artist is the most appreciated of these extra roles, but if you wish you can sign up for other things such as Team Cheerleader, Team Mascot, etc. Note that every CAPTain is NOT required to buy a Team Artist, etc.
- Say whether or not you have any expected upcoming inactivity; if so, please specify.
- Do NOT post dank memes here. Those are reserved for our separate hype thread.
PLEASE DON'T SIGN UP IF YOU LACK MOTIVATION AND ARE PROBABLY GOING TO GO INACTIVE. WE KNOW THIS IS BOUND TO HAPPEN, BUT IF YOU'RE ONE OF THESE PEOPLE WHO TENDS TO SIGN UP BUT THEN DOESN'T BOTHER WITH THE TOURNAMENT, WE WILL BAN YOU FROM FUTURE CAPTTs.
DON'T BE RUDE TO OTHER PLAYERS OR CAPTAINS. There is a fine line between joking around for fun and being disrespectful.
Below are the banlists and rules for each format.
