  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
  • Replays are mandatory. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

Dca - Ronald Reagan. great manager and very dedicated to making sure everyone was prepped, any team would be lucky to have you in the future, hopefully we meet again in NDWC

Peap - i never really knew you much before this, but you are a very enjoyable teammate. Always fun looking over the 5 pastes you posted across the week and very fire player. Hopefully not ur last rodeo

Derp/axzel - absolute goats, ball didnt roll your guys way but with your passion and knowledge of ur respective tiers just give it time and itll work out

I never actually posted my pr but let's see how I did for shits and giggles
1. Wicked Weaviles (actual rank =7th)
Okay I was fuckin wrong on this one LOL but tbh I don't regret the high placement. I do think they had all the tools to do well including motivation, experienced builders, skilled pilots, etc. but sometimes for inexplicable reasons it just doesn't work out. I think this same team coulda won the tour in another universe just wasn't their season.
2. Sylveon vs the Forces of Evil (actual rank = 1st)
Almost spot on with this one, not much to say here everyone knew they were a sick team post-draft and they proved it. Perhaps I shoulda given them the #1 spot and was a fool.
3. Galarian Phoenix (actual rank = 5th)
I wasn't too far off here, but I did expect a bit of a better season from last year's champs. And tbf they're on the cusp of playoffs with only 2 losses, the first one being in week 1 when they were likely still getting their feet off the ground. I still think this was a fair placement as well.
4. Luvdisc is Rage 2 (actual rank = 6th)
Same degree of error as with phoenixes, this team was decent but incredibly top heavy. They had a few hella strong players that carried every week but the rest of the team couldn't keep up, I wasn't really sure where to place them originally. I'm not too surprised with this result though.
5. Glaring Gengars (actual rank = 4th)
Was almost right here too, was a bit underwhelmed with this team initially although some of their slots I was skeptical about turned in pretty good performances. Wouldn't be shocked to see them qualifying for playoffs after this week.
6. Goldernrod Gholdengos (actual rank = 2nd)
After weaviles this was my biggest blunder. I underestimated this team in BLT too actually, I gotta stop doing that. These guys clearly just work very well with each other and can consistently turn in good performances, I'll definitely give this team the credit they deserve in the next tour I see them in.
7. Mystical manaphies (actual rank = 8th)
Yep, was right on the money with this one. No need to beat a dead horse, draft was not good and neither was their season. A lotta nice people here tho so I hope this doesn't discourage them from returning next year, I think at least a couple of the people here could turn up a lot better records.
