Tournament Rules and General Guidelines

Welcome to the third edition of the Ancient Lower Tiers Premier League! Lower tiers of these older gens tend to get less representation in their respective subforums for many team tours, so this tour is designed with the goal to give these tiers an extra team tour to shine! There will be 10 total tiers for ALT PL:
  • RBY Ubers :Mewtwo:
  • RBY UU :Tentacruel:
  • RBY NU :Moltres:
  • GSC Ubers :Lugia:
  • GSC UU :Granbull:
  • GSC NU :Xatu:
  • ADV Ubers :Kyogre:
  • ADV UU :Walrein:
  • ********ADV NU :Wailord:
  • FLEX SLOT :Machoke: (This flex slot will change each season, but for this edition it will be RBY Tradebacks OU)
********ADV NU will be officially testing no-Glalie. As such, Glalie is banned from being used in ADV NU for this tournament

If you are interested in being manager, use the following form to sign up below!

Code:
If you are a returning manager, make sure to identify the team which you are reclaiming by the letter assigned to it. While returning managers have a certain level of priority over their team, they are obviously not guaranteed to be selected. However, they may not choose to take over any other team besides their own (if they want to manage a brand new team then sign up as a new manager).

Manager name:
Co-manager name:
Returning manager: (yes/no)
Previous team (if applicable):
First Team Preference:
Second Team Preference:

example:

Manager name: BigFatMantis
Co-manager name: Akeras
Returning manager: yes
Previous team: C

or

Manager name: Akeras
Co-manager name: BigFatMantis
Returning manager: no
First Team Preference: A
Second Team Preference: D

NOTE ON REBRANDS: If you choose to rebrand, you MUST choose a pokemon mascot from the same gen as the team you are rebranding. For example if you want to rebrand to the Persevering Pidgeottos :Pidgeotto: then you need to be assigned either Team B or Team C as those are the two teams with Gen 1 mascots.
  • All managers must have a co-manager, but you can list your co as "TBD" if you do not immediately have one (must have one before manager signups close though).
  • You can self-purchase one, both, or neither manager. The first manager retained for your team will cost 13.5k credits. You can then retain a second manager for an additional 26.5k credits (both are considered "20k credits" each if you do this).
  • There will be 6 total teams, regardless of signups. Therefore, there will be 6 total manager duos selected.
  • All teams are required to have a minimum of 13 players (i.e. 3 subs) - the reasoning behind this is that all 10 tiers are different and there is a tier lock in place for regular season, making it difficult to manage substitute situations as needed without at least 3 subs.
  • The total amount of starting credits per team will be 125k credits.
  • The manager selection process is admittedly very subjective - please do not be upset if you are not chosen, and we hope you can have fun anyways as a player!

POSSIBLE TEAMS:

Team A: Mistresses Misdreavus :misdreavus:
Team B: Slay Queen Snorlaxes :snorlax:
Team C: Old Gangster Gengars :Gengar:
Team D: Trailblazer Torchics :Torchic:
Team E: Criminal Cradilys :Cradily:
Team F: Goldenrod Gligars :Gligar:

ALT PL II Team and Player Standings and Records

Note: Players who managed last year cannot be retained as players. However, they can self-buy if they choose to manage again.

If you would like to retain a player, the price to retain them will be the player's cost from last year's ALT PL with an additional 3K cost. The minimum cost to retain a player is 10K credits (so if someone was 4k credits last year, their price to retain them this year is 10k credits, not 7k credits, since 10k credits is the minimum). Please refer to the sheet to calculate their cost, and if you have any questions regarding a specific player feel free to reach out to the hosting team.

Note 2: Retained players for regular season are tier locked out of the tiers they noted as "Tiers NOT played" in last year's signup, regardless of what they note for this year's signup.

Manager Signups will close at 11:59 PM GMT-4 on December 22nd or potentially a bit sooner/later depending on signups. We will try to close them at least an hour after SPL Managers are picked if possible in case you get shafted there and need to manage the "B" tour instead

Have fun everyone!

Manager name: Zcarlett
Co-manager name: Gangsta Spongebob
Returning manager: (yes/no): no
First Team Preference: Either B or C to rebrand as the "Distressed Red Voltorbs"
Second Team Preference: same

Managed a few things here and there but the only thing that's coming to mind is PUWC. Also hosted a few tournaments recently (namely GSCPL and RoAPL) so I'll have a good idea of what the pools looks like.
Gangsta Spongebob has been a fixture in the modern form of old gen lower tiers and should need no introduction.

As a sidenote, I'm not exaggerating when I say this came to me in a dream. During the weekend following Thanksgiving and a few days after I had a reoccurring dream where I was managing a team for this tournament with Gangsta Spongebob called "Distressed Red Voltorbs" and was in a bidding war to buy Real FV13 of all people.

My teammate and I both have knowledge of every tier in this tour. I myself have an incredibly extensive knowledge of RBY (see image of RBY LTC points sheet below). As well as plaenty of OU results, (notably managing team UK for RBYWC), and played for the Cradilys last year, I also have good knowledge of the GSC tiers thanks to watching my GSCPL teammates (we won the tour), while River played ADVPL to an undefeated regular season record, building and supporting multiple tiers, with an ADV OU invitational finish to boot. She also supported the Misdreavous's last ALTPL.
