Because players are bound to miss the original sign-ups, as well teams are bound to have players that have to leave for a significant portion of the season, in the middle of the season, sign-ups will reopen for 3 days. Players will sign up and a new free agent list will be made. Note: even if you signed up the first time around, you must re-signup in order to get on the midseason free agent list.
The format for signing up to play in the Smogon Premier League is as follows.
Quote:
Player Name: LonelyNess
Tiers Played: BW OU / VGC 2011 / BW UBER / DPP UU / DPP OU / ADV OU / GSC OU / RBY OU
Timezone : GMT -5 (CDT)
After sign-ups close, the host will remind each manager how many credits they have left over from the original live auction. If a team has any remaining credits, he/she are free to send the host a PM detailing which players they wish to purchase, and for however many credits (a minimum of 3000 credits is necessary to purchase a player). If two players happen to put a bid in for the same player, whoever placed the higher bid will acquire the player. For example, say Synre sends the host the following PM:
Leftover Credits: 11k
Bids:
Player A – 4000
Player B – 4000
Player C – 3000
And whistle sends in the following:
Leftover Credits – 16k
Player D – 4000
Player E – 4000
Player A – 4000
Player C - 4000
At the end of the week, Synre will have picked up Player B, where whistle will have picked up players C, D and E. In the event of a tie (such as in the case of Player A), whichever manager submitted their bid first wins. Therefore Synre would win Player A as well in this particular scenario.
There is no use for credits leftover after the midseason free agent pickups, so it is in every manager’s best interest to spend all of their remaining points at this time.
