Hello everyone! We are pleased to announce that manager signups for 35PL II are now open. If you would like to manage, please read the following details before signing up.

• There will be 6 teams and each team will have three managers.
• Managers are required to participate in the auction to draft their players.
• Each team will need a minimum of 2 managers. A 3rd manager is optional.
• Managers will have a budget of 150k. If one manager wants to purchase themself for their team, they can do so for 13.5k. If the second manager also wants to purchase themselves, they'll have to pay 15k (Overall 28.5k).
  • All manager purchases must be sent to the hosts, IncredibleKing, and Murphy Lawden, before the draft, and all of them will be announced in the administrative thread.
  • Up to two managers can be self bought by a team.
• Each team must draft a minimum of 15 players (10 players + 5 subs) and a maximum of 25 players using 150k credits.
• Managers must select their lineup for the week and send it to the hosts before the week starts in Smogon DMs including all managers of your team and hosts, IncredibleKing, and Murphy Lawden. Failure to do so would result in hosts picking the lineup for the managers the following week(IncredibleKing will personally make sure to pick your weakest players, he is a meanie).
  • Managers must send their lineup in the format mentioned at the end of this post.
• Managers are responsible for their team's behavior. Make sure members of your team are abiding by the rules and remain active.
• Managers are expected to facilitate substitutions when necessary.

Kindle ensure that you will be available for the course of the next 2 months if you wish to serve as manager. Managers will likely be decided within two week.

Why should you be picked? We managed together in NDAMPL and successfully assisted the Slakings in achieving their ultimate victory!! I recently played for the winning DNUPL team, and qbking3 has lots of teamtour experience, so between the two of us we know exactly what it takes to lead a super equally fun and competitive team, for the vibes of course. Oh, and I literally invented this tournament and hosted it for the first two years. So there’s that too but @hosts @tierleaders idk how far that get us

[Ea-Nasir]

Team Name: TBD
Manager: Ea-Nasir
Co-Manager(s): purbaj GC
Team Mascot: (Pokemon ONLY): TBD
Why should you be picked?: I am a seasoned manager who has managed in world cup type tournaments for Portugal (World Cup of Randbats, Ubers World Cup, Lower Tier World Cup serve as some examples) and some more standart teamtours, both on smogon (where i can highlight UMFL where me and FishyRoads brought the Luso Phiones to the semifinals before losing to the winner of the tournament and PTSL, which me, together with Frixel and Ulti Bastion, brought the Negro Drampas to a win. I am also managing with TTK in the current NFEOL). I have also in the past been an active figure in 35pokes, so i can activelly support the older tiers and am still entangled with the community. As for purbaj, he is an insanely skilled manager, with his most notable feat being bringing his team in OUFL to a victory, winning also SS League and managing team Asia in ADVWC and RCoP and his portfolio, honestly, speaks for itself. Gc is the least experienced of the three of us considering manager experience alone, but makes up for it for being an active player and community member in 35pokes, bringing the team the much-needed current day 35pokes knowledge. We believe this trio has what it takes to take the tournament home, and we plan to do our best to make it happen

Team Name: TBD
Manager: SirPeanutCronch
Co-Manager(s): Quackborg
Team Mascot: (Pokemon ONLY): TBD
Why should you be picked?: Quack and I have been part of the 35 Pokes community for some time now, and we both have had successful tournament runs in the past including a March Retro win, as well as both participating 35PL with Quack being in the winning team in S0. While we are on the newer end of the spectrum with managerial roles, we are not at all new to the tournament experience as we have participated in many storied tournaments in the past such as the World Cup of Pokemon (+ Ubers WC, ADVWC), OUPL, Teamballo, HPL, NDAMPL, and NDFL. We look to bring a new and exciting energy to 35PL alongside our own building, playing and testing experiences in the tiers!
