Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
Welcome to the fourth official Neverused Premier League. Over the next six weeks, six teams lead by some of NU's best players will go up against eachother to decide who will will the imaginary crown.

since i'm a big ol nerd and am way too awake to actually sleep, have some true blue finals scenarios haha
win vs VIVS
OR
tie vs VIVS (...and if RAMP win 8-0 AND JYNX win, win a tiebreaker with RAMP...!!)
OR
lose vs VIVS (3-5) AND either (JYNX lose OR RAMP lose/tie)
OR
lose vs VIVS (2-6) AND either (JYNX lose OR RAMP lose/tie) (need to win tiebreaker with VIVS)
OR
lose vs VIVS (1-7 or 0-8) AND JYNX lose (3-5 or worse *and* 2-6 or worse, respectively) AND RAMP lose/tie (need to win tiebreaker with RAMP if 0-8 and RAMP tie, and a tiebreaker with JYNX if 1-7 / 3-5 or 0-8 / 2-6, respectively) (yes it's a 3-way tie for second if KRAB loses 0-8, JYNX loses 2-6, and RAMP tie)
win vs KLNG
OR
tie vs KLNG AND either (KRAB lose OR RAMP lose/tie/win 5-3)
OR
tie vs KLNG AND KRAB tie AND RAMP lose/tie
OR
lose vs KLNG AND RAMP lose/tie AND VIVS lose/tie
OR
lose vs KLNG (3-5) AND RAMP lose/tie AND VIVS lose/tie/win (5-3) (need to win tiebreaker with VIVS if win 5-3)
OR
lose vs KLNG (2-6) AND RAMP lose/tie AND KRAB loses (0-8) (need to win tiebreaker with KRAB, and need to win tiebreaker with RAMP if they tie)
win vs MUSH AND either (KRAB lose or JYNX lose)
OR
win vs MUSH (6-2, 7-1) AND either (KRAB lose or JYNX lose/tie) (need to win tiebreaker with JYNX if 6-2 & JYNX tie)
OR
win vs MUSH (8-0) AND either (KRAB lose/tie or JYNX lose/tie) (need to win tiebreaker with KRAB if they tie)
OR
tie vs MUSH AND KRAB win/tie AND JYNX lose 2-6, 1-7, 0-8 (need to win tiebreaker with JYNX if 2-6)
OR
tie vs MUSH AND KRAB lose 0-8 AND JYNX lose 2-6, 1-7, 0-8 (need to win tiebreaker with KRAB AND if JYNX loses 2-6, win tiebreaker with JYNX as well)
win vs KRAB AND JYNX lose AND RAMP lose/tie (need to win tiebreaker with JYNX if they lose 3-5 and VIVS win 5-3)
OR
win vs KRAB (6-2) AND either (JYNX lose OR RAMP lose/tie) (need to win tiebreaker with KRAB)
OR
win vs KRAB (7-1 or 8-0) AND either (JYNX lose OR RAMP lose/tie)
cross your fingers AND hope that some combination of 3 of KRAB, JYNX, RAMP, and VIVS drop dead and are thusly rendered unable to play finals
assist KLNG on the way to finals by systematically murdering all four of KRAB, JYNX, RAMP, and VIVS
i was pretty sure i covered everything before i realized there are several annoying tiebreak scenarios that i missed and am now too lazy to figure out (for example, VIVS and JYNX can tie for second). should still give you the general idea of how things will work though.
also as a rule of thumb, if there's a (need to win tiebreaker if...) in a statement with an "AND either x or y", a tiebreaker will not need to happen if both x and y happen. ie for the second RAMP wincon:
win vs MUSH (6-2, 7-1) AND either (KRAB lose or JYNX lose/tie) (need to win tiebreaker with JYNX if 6-2 & JYNX tie)
they do not need to win the tiebreaker with JYNX if both scenarios happen in the "AND either" statement, as RAMP and JYNX will be the two finalists anyway! i didn't include this throughout because it's fairly frequent and repetitive.
