Decisions and Announcements for the first iteration of Mix and Mega Premier League will be communicated in this thread. I recommend watching this thread if you're participating to keep yourself up to date with what's happening.
The following formats will be featured in MnMPL I:
- SV Mix and Mega (2 slots)
- SS Mix and Mega
- SM Mix and Mega
- ORAS Mix and Mega
- Multigen Bo3 (SV/SS/SM)
- LC Mix and Mega
- SV Mix and Mega (3rd slot)
Managers and teams for this year's MnMPL are:
The MOCCing Machamps, managed by Lightniong and prunyy
The Ironhide Great Tusks, managed by seraphz and Axzel
The Sol Raizing Necrozmas, managed by Concept and SpaceSpeakers
The Sleepy Suicunes, managed by pannu and Evie
The Magearna Never Misses, managed by Betticus IV and Ivar57
The Pressing Poisonceuses, managed by GhastlyPixie and QTRelevant threads:
- Player Signups
- Manager Signups
General Information:
- Teams: 6 total, 11 players min each (8 starters + 3 subs) based on the number of signups with a maxcap of 18 players.
- Both managers may selfbuy for 12k each, if they choose to do so.
- Each team will have 100k Credits to spend throughout the entire drafting process.
- 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, 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 (excluding the Multigen Bo3 slot).
- Winning a round rewards a team with 2 points, drawing 1 point, and losing zero 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").
Each team will play one another for five weeks. Based on the final standings, the top 4 teams will enter a Playoffs Round to determine the teams appearing in the finals.
Tiebreaker
In the event of two teams being tied for a spot in the finals based on points and win differential, or a tie in the final round itself, we will have a tiebreaker round(s).
There will be three metagames played in total:
Slot 1 = SV Mix and Mega
Slot 2 = Picked by managers of lower seed tiebreak team
Slot 3 = Picked by managers of higher seed tiebreak team
Since SV MnM has multiple slots in this tour already anyway, there can be repeats (so yes, all three slots could end up being SV MnM in the event of a tiebreak). Multigen Bo3 cannot be picked.
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.
Trades
The hosts have decided to not include trades this year due to reasons outlined in this thread - all roster decisions will be final, so draft carefully!
If you have any questions regarding the tournament, feel free to ask the hosts.
