Requesting this once again, however I would like it to do it by the end of March, as I have an eye surgery by the end of February/first week of March.

Added to queue, you good for signups on March 29th, or prefer 1 week earlier?
March 29th sounds good
Tournament Name: SV CAP Tera ZERO Tournament
Tournament Host(s): shnowshner, if someone wants to co-host i'll consider but it's not needed
Tournament Time Frame: whatever time works best
Host experience: two editions of cap premier league and cap champions league each...... i really hope that's enough experience i'm a bit nervous
Tournament Description: This is a single-elimination tournament with Terastallization banned. Tera has shaped much of this generation's popular tiers and we are no exception: arguably, we are affected more because of the CAP creative process and how Tera frequently makes otherwise-rigid CAP competitive designs much muddier in practice. This is a lower stakes fast-paced tournament meant to give players a chance to see how this generation might play without such a swingy, often game deciding mechanic, and should appeal to both CG players wanting a fresh take on a familiar lineup of Pokemon, and those who have avoided SV because of how much variability Tera introduces. I am open to releasing a few Ubers banned because of Tera, like Regieleki if people want, but it's not really the point.

I'll add this to queue, but idk about exact date for signups right now. Want to get a sense of when CAPPL will be running, also want to offset it a bit from CAP playtest scheduled date (I lowkey overlapped ORAS tour w/ CAP Ladder tour... oops).
requesting again, not in a hurry to run just want it in the queue before it gets too long
Added, will give update on time after CAPPL time is decided.
Tournament Name: Cap National Dex Tournament
Tournament Host(s): Me! :D
Tournament Time Frame: Likely sometime after CAPPL and once kmy turn in queue has arrived.
Host experience: I have none yet but there always has to be a start sometime! Spammernoob agreed to explain hosting when the time comes.
Tournament Description: National Dex Cap, it has Rage Fist unbanned but I personally am putting it on the watchlist. I've been inspired by the success of the recent LC tour and I've been trying to revive natdex cap for a while now, this seems like a perfect opportunity.

Are you good running this start of May? (Signups May 3rd) It will overlap with start of CAPPL but hopefully shouldn't be issue... we can move signups forward 1 week (overlap with ORAS CAP finals) if you prefer that.
EDIT: going to try for Apr. 26 signups.
I don't want this to overlap with end of CAPPL so tentatively signups August 2nd, will give update as we get closer. Is this fine?

Host experience: I hosted CAP SM DOUBLES tournament, Nostalgia For Oras (Last time was years ago), I also have expereiences hosting IRL smash tournaments in my region (you can check it on instagram as smash maule), Recently the Nostalgia for ORAS CAP
Tournament Description: Is a tournament of SM CAP
Tournament style: BO3 Single Elimination
Tournament Banlist: Standard SM CAP banlist
Tournament Justification: is the most popular and well developed old gens meta game in cap and popular that has been a must for players to learn and I think it would be interesting to see how CAPPL could shape the meta game and this tour could be an interesting experience for it!

Just wanted to post a quick update and ask for some thoughts.
Currently, the upcoming teamtour schedule looks approximately like this:
Currently, Tera Zero is scheduled to end in 2 weeks. I have opted to not schedule any tours until the end of CAPPL, but that means we do not have a lot of time to run tours between the end of CAPPL and the start of CAPCL.
The current plan is to run CAP Doubles and ND CAP tours concurrently during the gap between CAPPL and CAPCL, then wait until after CAPCL to run SM CAP tour. Alternatively, we can run SM CAP during CAPCL, though idk if this is a good idea. If you have any thoughts about this, ping or DM me on Discord.
I think we talked about this a bit on Discord, but I don't think we came to a resolution on what to do with this (merge with Steam Buns, change format, etc.). We can talk more about it on Discord if that is easier for you.
The current timeline is that Steam Buns' DCAP tour would be before CAPCL, and this would land after CAPCL (near start of WCAP), if that affects your decision at all. I'm a little hesitant to run 2 tours with the same format so close to each other, so I might move it down on the queue if we get more requests.
EDIT: Discussed on Discord, ILSB will co-host w/ Steam Buns and the additional will be dropped from queue.

I think we are 1 week off since CAPPL signups were 1 week longer than I thought, but this should be reasonably close.

Tournament Name: SV Old Threats Tournament
Tournament Host(s): Spammernoob
Tournament Time Frame: Some time in the future (I'll figure it out)
Host experience: Some number of tours (I'm running the queue anyways, I get to be lazy with this kek)
Tournament Description:
A list of old / outdated CAPs is drafted. Each week, 3 CAPs are drawn from this list; players must use at least one in each team.
Example: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/sv-ou-no-johns-old-threats-are-back-signups-color-change-prize.3771669/

Tournament Description:
CAP SV Draft tournament using this sheet (credits to Steam Buns). Would be structured similar to this, where we run draft on Discord -> Pools -> Single Elim.

Tournament Name: Nostalgia For SS CAP
Tournement Host: Me
Tournament Time Frame: As soon as this gets approved and when the mods let me do ir, Signups are going to be be open for a week. Round 1 begin the week when the signup ends
Host experience: I hosted CAP SM DOUBLES tournament, Nostalgia For ORAS, I also have expereiences hosting IRL smash tournaments in my region (you can check it on instagram as smash maule)
Tournament Description: Is a tournament of SS CAP
Tournament style: BO3 Single Elimination
Tournament Banlist: Standard SS CAP banlist
Tournament Justification: is one of most played cap old gens and I feel like it could be fun
To be honest I would love to host this kind of tournament for each old gens, since I have already done ORAS, SM next week, this kind of forum tours really help to refresh the metagame

Tournament Name:
:krilowatt: BDSP CAP Legacy/BDSP CAP Kickoff Tour :krilowatt:
Tournament Time Frame: Any time would work for me, but I'll prefer after CAPCL Reg Season.
Tournament Host: GabrieLopez (+ whoever wants to help out)
Host experience: Cap tours in Arg Community. :glastrier:
Tournament Description: Is a BDSP OU + CAP's from DPP tour.
Tournament style: Bo3 Single Elimination
Tournament Banlist: Standard BDSP OU Banlist.
Tournament Justification: I think that BDSP has been overshadow by SS CAP and It needs an opportunity.
BDSP are the Remakes of the Gen 4 games, Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum, that means that we're only gonna have The 11 CAP introduce back in 2009-2010 (+ their pre evolutions.), alongside that, since the BDSP games were release in the SS era, all Pokemon and CAP had receive some buffs and Nerfs in their Movepools/Abilities/Stats :revenankh: (Reven now has Triage, Colossoil had now Knock Off/Rapid Spin Buffed and the ability Rebound ,etc):colossoil: .This changes can make a forgotten metagame one more interesting for playing and Building around.

Tournament Name: CAP Homefield Advantage: OM edition
Tournament Time Frame: whenever queue is free
Tournament Host: I got this :)
Host experience: ND CAP Tour
Tournament Description: hfa but instead of oldgens we use sv, nd, uu, mono, dubs, and lc as our formats (and we bully the people signing up for sv for a for fun tour with nothing on the line instead of living a little)
Tournament style: Bo3 Single Elimination
Tournament Justification: This sounds like a grand ole time, my first thought last year when i saw hfa was "i wanna use nd, oh i cant use nd, well dpp it is" (i didnt know dpp at the time), and i belive there are many who think this way. The indiv tours for lc, uu, nd, and dubs were all decently successful so why not mesh these together and more? :)

OK, these are added to queue
I think this can go after the SM tour; I think the overlap w/ CAPCL is probably fine? I'll get back to you on specifics next week.
These two probably go after my tours that are scheduled for after CAPCL.
