Hey everyone, it's that time of the year again! With MPL coming up we're re-opening the discussion about the tournament's format. This year me and ken will be hosting this edition. Last year's format consisted of:
This year, we are open to a bunch of options but ultimately we want to focus on bringing the most competitive tournament this year. The first being thing that needs to be ironed out is how many slots we are aiming for. With the notion of Other Metagames being typically included inside of MWP, we as a community have collectively decided to make MPL our tier where we feature old generations. Furthermore, to increase the competitiveness of all Monotype old generations, ken has approved Tier Leaders for each respective generation. We will only consider the slot choices below, please do not suggest anything else in this thread.

Other Discussion Topics:
- How many retains should be allowed in a six-slot format or limited to one? How many retains do you think there should be in an eight-slot format, two maximum?
- Should all managers be the same price or should we base it on previous performances in Monotype Team Tournaments?
- Should MPL expand on old generational tiers and work on resources prior to the tournament starting
If you feel strongly about a certain format, now is the time to say so as well as why you feel this way. That means giving a proper explanation why you believe there should be 6 or 8 slots and which format you prefer. Shitposting will not be tolerated and will be punished via infraction, please use this thread to only make serious posts. This thread will be the only place to air concerns about MPL, once the final decision has been made by the mod team here, the format will not change.
This thread will stay open until April 22nd @ 10PM EDT and may close earlier if a format is decided sooner. Manager signups will open after this thread closes.
