For any questions refer to Rex or Electra102
If you wish to play in the Hackmons Premier League II, you must sign up USING THIS FORM LINK. The Hackmons Premier League is a 7-week event at minimum and has the potential to stretch on a bit further depending on tiebreak situations. Only sign up if you can be active for the majority of this time, as a high level of activity is expected. This includes several things, such as communicating with your team and getting your games done, as well as maintaining a competitive attitude even after your team has already been eliminated. It is in your own best interest to show off your best side. For general guidelines on what to do and what not to do, refer to Luigi's guidelines here.
A reminder of rulings that hold true for this year, and some new ones:
- Managers will be allowed to purchase themselves and/or their assistant manager as players for their team for a fixed price of 12.5k.
- There are no retains.
- Each team must draft a minimum of 11 players (8 players + 3 subs) using 100k credits.
- Trades may not occur.
- Tourbanned users may not participate.
- The tiers not played option is binding; if you select any tiers not played, you will not be able to play in them. This does not apply during Playoffs.
- Tiers preferred is not binding
- There will be a severe penalty for any team that picks up a known alt of a banned player, or any player masquerading as another person to lower their cost in the auction. This has not been a big issue in the past, but it is important to establish that both parties will be penalized immediately and harshly if they are found doing so.
- In the event that a player displays excessively unsportsmanlike behavior or breaks any of the PS Global Rules or Smogon-wide posting rules (including in team discords), the hosts will investigate on a case-by-case basis. In the event that a player must be ejected from a team for their behavior, managers will be allowed to pick one player from the undrafted pool at no cost.
TO SIGN UP UP, PLEASE THE FORM RIGHT BELOW THIS BIG PURPLE TEXT. DO NOT POST ANY MEME SIGNUPS.
FORM TO SIGN UP
FORM TO SIGN UP
This year's tiers will be: Gen 9 BH, Gen 9 BH, Gen 8 BH, Gen 7 BH, Gen 9 National Dex BH, Gen 7 PH, Gen 6 PH, Gen 6 PH Bo3
If you are interested in playing, be aware that any team may buy you, and you are expected to play for any one of them. Only list tiers in your signup that you are willing to play. While these aren't binding, it will affect how the managers will see you, and you are expected to play them if necessary. If you would not consider seriously playing a tier in a tournament, do not list it. Do not make dumb joke posts about playing tiers you don't care for. Once again, tiers not played is binding!
You are generally expected to participate in your team's Discord. While we understand that activity levels may vary, this is the core portion of PL type of tournaments and what makes it fun. Your team's Discord server is where your team will hang out, discuss strategies, and just have fun without worrying about the game. This is where teams come together (or fall apart), and it is likely the most integral part of the entire tournament.
Teams (w/ Discord links for the public ones):
to be decided!
Signups will be open until Friday August 1st at 23:59pm GMT -4 . Have a great season, everyone!
