UUFPL IV: Rise of FPL-Kind


MANAGER SIGN UP THREAD
Hosted by BigFatMantis and Akeras

UUFPL is set up as an auction based team tournament, nearly identical to UUPL, except it gives some lesser known talents of the UU Community a chance to be selected as part of this experience. While nobody is restricted from joining, the goal is to open up the community to a team tour where more members can participate, joining vets and rookies in a unique experience unlike any other!

Team Σ: (Rebrand) note: Not an actual team, just put "R" in your preference if you look to rebrand. However, in order to rebrand, you have to explain in detail why none of the other pre-set team names worked for you.

Since UUFPL is meant to give new players an opportunity, there are no returning teams. As such, all teams start out fresh and there are no retains based on last year (though managers can obviously self-retain).

If you need help deciding on a team, you can DM me on Discord and I'll provide you with an pre-set AI generated image that has almost nothing to do with the team but somewhat close.

You are REQUIRED to have a co-manager, though you can edit it in later. No matter how great you are by yourself, UUFPL is very serious business and you need a co-manager to help you. Manager selections are, of course, subjective, and some people will not get a team, but as long as you do your best life you can achieve anything in due time.

Only one of you or your co-manager can self-retain. Prices for self-retains will be listed later in this thread if you can get to the bottom before closing it.
Some basic rules:
  • Current managers (or co-managers) in UUPL are not allowed to manage in UUFPL
  • Current managers in UUPL can, however, sign up as players in UUFPL
  • Nobody is prevented from signing up for UUFPL and we encourage all rookies and vets alike to partake. However:
  • Players already in UUPL cannot play/sign up for SV UU for UUFPL.
  • Additionally, players in UUPL cannot play a tier in UUFPL for which they have played at least one game for in UUPL by close of UUPL Week 3 (UUPL Weeks 4+ do not matter for this).
  • There is one exception to these restrictions with regard to the 3rd SV slot (more information below)

Speaking of tiers, here are the tiers for UUFPL:

FORMATS/TIERS:

  • SV UU :Lokix:
  • SV UU :Iron Moth:
  • SV UU Unlimited***** :Ogerpon-Cornerstone:
  • SV Ubers UU :Palkia-Origin:
  • SS UU :Zarude:
  • SM UU :Scizor:
  • ORAS UU :Aerodactyl-Mega:
  • BW UU :Victini:
  • DPP UU :Venusaur:
  • ADV UU~~~~ :Kangaskhan: :Scizor: ?
  • GSC UU :Nidoqueen:
  • RBY UU :Tentacruel:
*****SV UU Unlimited is the 3rd SV UU tier, but the UUPL restrictions are very relaxed, so that you can still play in this slot if you are a UUPL player. However the standard tier restrictions still prevent you from playing SV UU in this slot if you have played an SV UU game in UUPL by end of UUPL Week 3.

~~~~ ADV UU will be unofficially testing Armaldo Donphan Kadabra Regirock Scizor Swellow Typhlosion Venusaur Weezing Zangoose for the duration of UUFPL. As such, these 10 mons will be unbanned in ADV UU for this tour. Also there is no tier lock for ADV UU for UUFPL this season specifically - anyone can play ADV UU without UUPL restrictions.

Manager Self-Retain Info:

Your self-retain price is a base 10k to start, and goes up based on the following (caps at 20k):
  • +2k if you are playing in UUPL
  • +2k if you were a player or manager this last UUSD
  • +2k if you played and won a game in this last UUSD
  • +2k if you had more than 251 points in the 2023 UU Circuit
  • +2k if you had more than 2667 points in the 2023 UU Circuit

MANAGERS WILL BE SELECTED AROUND SATURDAY, MARCH 10, 2023 (give or take a day)

Good luck to everyone! Also here is last year's Hall of Fame/Closing Video:
