How this works
There are 6 teams this year. Each team will have have 10 players and at least 5 substitutes. The players are bought using the 150k credits that managers receive during the auction. Managers and co-managers will be allowed to purchase themselves as players for their team at a price of 13.5k for one manager self-buying and 28.5k for both self-buying. The managers must inform the hosts (zastra and Ember Celica) of all self purchases before the beginning of the auction. Teams can win their matchup every week by winning 6 of the 10 matches that their players have to play.
The tiers for this year are:
- 35 Pokes August 2023
- 35 Pokes February 2024
- 35 Pokes February 2024
- 35 Pokes March 2024
- 35 Pokes May 2024
- 35 Pokes September 2024
- 35 Pokes December 2024
- 35 Pokes February 2025
- 35 Pokes February 2025
- 35 Ubers - April 2024
It is recommended to play all games on SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. Games can be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server if and only if both players agree, but run higher risk of interference from server restarts/crashes. The result between players may be decided in a best-of-one or best-of-three at the discretion of both players involved. If there is no agreement, the result will decided in a Bo1 by default.
Winning a round rewards a team with 2 points, drawing 1 point, and losing 0 points. In addition, the manner in which the round has been won will also be recorded i.e. the difference between a team's wins and losses in a specific week's round (referred to as "Win Differential").
Playoffs
Each team will play one another for five weeks. Based on the final standings, the top 3 teams will enter a Playoffs Round. The #1 Team automatically qualifies for Finals. The #2 and #3 teams face off in semi-finals to determine which team faces off against the #1 team in finals.
Tiebreaker
In the event of two teams being tied for a spot in the playoffs based on points and win differential, or a tie in the semi-final or final round, we will have a tiebreaker round(s).
Tiebreaker Rules: Both teams pick a format each. The hosts randomly pick the third format. Both teams then send their tiebreaker lineup to the hosts.
Substitutes
Substitutes are to be used in the case of extenuating circumstances, whether on the first day of the week, or the last. At the same time, players should be relatively well-aware of who all are available to play in the opponent's camp. If last minute substitutes are being frequently used or abused and the hosts find explanations unsatisfactory, the hosts still reserve the right to veto them. In order to further prevent this being the case, teams are only granted a maximum of two substitutes per week. Any substitutions after the second will be vetoed. Managers should be the ones making substitute posts; however, in the event of both managers being offline, any player on the team can make substitute posts.
Trades
No trading—all roster decisions will be final, so draft carefully!
Prize
This edition of 35PL will feature a cash prize of around $200 for the player(s) with the overall best sheet record, i.e, the MVP(s)! (could be split depending on the number of MVPs) Thank you to all of our wonderful donors for making this possible:
