Keep in mind that you can post to discuss the format of the tournament, even if you are not signing up to manage. Post here if you want to manage during PUPL VII or if you would like to give input on the format of the tournament.
I will be co-hosting with Specs , so any questions you have about the tournament can also be directed towards him.
This year, we're aiming to keep 8 managers, given there's enough managers available to do so. However, if there is not a large enough turnout, we can change the number of teams to 6. Managers are expected to have past PUPL experience, managed in a Smogon team tournament before, and/or be a major contributor to PU. To manage, please post the following in one post:
Example sign-up:
We have discussed it and we don't believe that we will be doing retains this year. However, team continuity is encouraged, and managers who wish to bring back their teams from last year are highly encouraged to do so. New team names are also allowed, but those that would like to continue old teams may be prioritized. Also, if you did not manage a team last year, but you'd like to take over an existing team, please ask the old manager of that team if you can do so.
The formats chosen this year will be similar to last year's rendition, with BW and DPP both appearing. However, since USUM has firmly become an older format, we have decided to open this slot for either another USUM or SWSH slot. Although we'll consider other options, these are the two that we have given the most thought. This is the format below:
SWSH PU / SWSH PU / SWSH PU / USUM PU / ORAS PU / BW PU / DPP PU / SWSH PU or USUM PU
Manager signups will close June 6th, 11:59pm GMT-4, and player signups will be posted then with the chosen format and managers.

- Your team name (please refrain from inappropriate names)
- Whether you plan to continue an existing team or not
- Why you deserve to manage
Example sign-up:
Hello! I'm Meri Berry, and I'd like to manage a new team called the Holy Heliolisks. I have past experience managing in NUPL, helped win PUWC for NE + Canada (by going 0-1), and helped the Meowstics in last year's team chat. I also believe I have a good grasp of the meta and the playerbase and would be able to help my team to victory.
