Ever fallen asleep while watching NatDex Blind Draft? Well you're not alone. Apparently its staff was tasked with creating a Smogon tournament that would help insomnia patients with sleep. Inspired by the infamously boring NatDex Premier League, the staff got work creating the most sleep-inducing tour imaginable. When tested with patients, a staggering ninety percent increase was shown in sleep time and quality. So if you're ever looking for a good nap, just remember to put on a NatDex Blind Draft replay.
Posted in signups already but any aspiring UU/RU players looking to play under the bonsly banner send me a message on smogon or discord! We are not doing formal tryouts but all resumes, achievements, business proposals, etc will be thoroughly looked through!

if any team out there wants a ndou/ndmono helper i’d be down, even if i don’t get drafted, i give my all for a team and i won’t let you diwn
anyone draft me to start in NDOU and build for me every week
For everyone asking we now have a doc for the drafting portion of NDCL. This includes the rules which are pretty much just standard and my ND draft board for everyone who wanted to see that.
Huge thanks to Murphy Lawden for getting this doc up and running.
I copied a lot from draft sheets made by Princess Autumn. So s/o to her too!

if u want as player+support dont buy me, ill just get my games done and have fun 
I wish to play mainly Ubers this season. Perfectly fine to build myself, many lovely Ubers people can vouch for my building. Other tiers I signed up for I'm still happy to slot in with no issues, but I am serious about building and playing Ubers. If I am picked and sent into a tier, do not expect me to leave it to bail out a failing tier.

Wanted to take a moment to shoutout some lesser known DOU and Draft players that should get some chances this tour whether as subs or starters since this is drafts first inclusion and managers might not be aware of the pools budget buys. These are in no particular order, sorry if I omit anyone, would be hard to write about every player in the pool.
DOU:
ARTYMASION - Arty is well known around the natdex community, and has been doing increasingly well in dou tours. He made finals of one of the nddou circuit tours this year, and would be a good flex pick for many teams.
crow crumbs - my FL dou teammate, CC has picked up dou formats relatively fast and has good in-game. Would recommend grabbing some build support for them, but has potential to start in this tour with a good builder.
iPetBigfoot - if you payed attention to farm league at all, this name is no surprise on this list. ipetbigfoot should start. Anything less is a disservice to him.
Opelucid - all around good pilot, will need build support in this format to perform though.
Pengu - been improving pretty rapidly, would really like to see him in a support slot.
Staraptor - Lots of VGC and DOU experience, not sure how much he's played nddou, but he's definitely worth a slot.
Steam Buns - Ladder tour winner, put up some good performances in FL, definitely has some odd building tendencies but with good support they could do well.
Test Bots - all around great chat presence and good builder. Great option for a support slot.
ValiantValerie - Good support slot, has been doing really well in indivs lately.
Draft:
64 Squares - One of the better players in the pool that I could see potentially getting snubbed, if you can get him to be active he will do great.
Crysite - Went 3-3 in DFL on a very poor team, and made top 16? of the most recent draft seasonal. Will likely come with his own support and is a good chat presence.
Fierce Flamethrower - My Allstar on the DFL team I managed, putting up a 7-2 with two tiebreak wins. This guy is tough, and should be picked up.
impersonxtor - While he doesn't have many individual results, he's some of the best support you could ever ask for and should be given a shot here.
Murp3 - has been improving really really quickly in the draft scene, 100% recommend a pickup.
TheRageSmogon - Great chat presence, another player that went positive on a pretty abysmal DFL team. He is probably good enough to start.
trace - he's better known for his VGC results, managing NPA and being one of the most widely respected VGC draft players around. Definitely can hold his own in this draft pool and would recommend him.
GL to everyone : )

Whoever ran this mock should get infracted
I've been playing draft format for several years now in various popular leagues and tours (experience in natdex included). If any team out there is looking for a main draft slot, I'm down to put in the work, get results, and provide team support whenever I can.
