Yo, so we decided some stuff. Before starting, I would like to mention that we've been discussing stuff in #tournament-hosts in the 1v1 discord regarding the circuit and future tournaments. From now on, we will be discussing tournaments publicly with tournament hosts and then decide in the TD channel so that we can get a larger part of the community involved in decisions. Special thanks to
Rosa STABLE crucify and
Lumii for the discussions this time.
Below, you will find the latest decisions regarding;
- 1v1 Premier League
- 1v1 Classic & the future
- Old Gens PL
- "Unofficial" tours planning
I - 1v1 Premier League
As we all know 1v1PL will go forward and implement retains for this season so it's a good time to remind everyone about them. Each team will be allowed to retain up to 2 players from last year's squad. The retained player will have to approve the retain. The minimum price of a player is 10k, which means any retain of a player that costed less than 7K will be automatically worth 10k. Otherwise, it is old price + 3K.
For slots, logically we will be going with 1 SV Bo7 / 2 SV / 2 SS / 1 SM / 1 ORAS / 1 BW but we're open to revisit the decision incase a lot of people have different opinion.
II - 1v1 Classic
1v1 Classic will keep the same format as last year's. We thought we could revamp the tournament but we were wrong, we cannot fit a swiss cup into poffs tournament inside the circuit right now without major overlap so we decided to keep the same format as last year's with the gens being DPP, BW, ORAS, SM, SS (Au revoir ADV). We will work into implementing an Old Gens circuit next year that will keep Classic in its spirit but spread over the whole year.
The 2023 Classic will start directly after PL (7th of May) and will be done before WC.
III - Old Gens PL (RetroPL)
We will be trialing an Old Gens Premier League that will be hosted around November. It will most likely be 6 teams and we will be discussing slots at and more specifics.
IV - Unofficial tournaments planning
We will be hosting more unofficial tournaments, hooray! We will try to gather idea and publish a rough schedule of tournaments every once in a while after PL (no other tours during PL!!).
