​
There are 8 teams this year. Each team will have have 8 players and at least 4 subs. The players are bought using the 100k credits that managers receive during the auction. Managers and co-managers will be allowed to purchase themselves as players for their team at a fixed price of 13.5k. The managers must inform the hosts (berry, UT, and Vertigo) of all self purchases before the beginning of the auction. Teams can win their matchup every week by winning 5 of the 8 matches that their players have to play.
​
The tier lineup this year is as follows:​
  • SV Almost Any Ability
  • SV Balanced Hackmons
  • SV STABmons
  • SV Mix and Mega
  • SV Godly Gift
  • SV Partners in Crime
  • SV Inheritance
  • Best of Three (AAA / STAB / MnM)
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.​
​
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").​
​
Playoffs:​
Each team will play one another for seven 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).​

Tiebreaker Rules: Both teams submit four strike choices, ranked. The hosts process both lists at the same time until we end up with three metas (if both of them strike the same meta at some point) or more likely, four unstruck metas. If there are four, the hosts randomly pick three of the four for tiebreaker.​

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!​

Scheduling
Scheduling should be done on Smogon Profile walls, plain and simple:​
  • If there is communication on only one user's behalf, the win will go to them. Feel free to call activity in this thread beforehand
  • If there is a very healthy back and forth regarding potential times and one user is a no-show, a manager may take the opportunity to sub out the no-show competitor; if this is not done, the user that showed up responsibly will be awarded the win.
TL;DR: Post on your opponent's Smogon wall, schedule your matches, and be reliable. If you can't play for any reason, let your manager know so they can sub you out ASAP.​

Sportsmanship
Exhibitions of unsportsmanlike conduct with regards to the Other Metagame Premier League will be met with an infraction at the discretion of the OMPL host/OM mods. This is unlikely to include interactions within a team's private chat unless there is reason found to make an exception. This rule is meant to protect other users from being publicly flamed/bashed/provoked by another competitor for the duration of and following the tournament.​
​
All players must complete their matches by the given deadline. Any incomplete matches by that time will be subject to an activity decision (MAKE SURE YOU POST ON YOUR OPPONENT'S WALL); otherwise, it will be a deadgame. All matches should ideally be done on your most notable alt (the one you registered for OMPL with) to avoid confusion and all match replays must be saved and posted in this thread.​

Substitutions & Lineups
Managers, if you wish to make any substitutions, you must post here tagging both the player you're subbing out, the player you're subbing in, the manager and assistant manager of the opposing team, the substitute's opponent, and all of the hosts. This is to assure that everyone is in-the-loop and that the OP is updated accordingly to reflect the new match-up.​
​
Managers, when you send in lineups, please send it in with the tier and Smogon username of each player fully written out for ease of transcription, following these guidelines exactly.​

Will make this neater later

Playoffs state

:walking-wake: :manaphy: :Solgaleo: all qualified

:kyurem-black: cannot recover

Right let's get into the juicy stuff

4. :virizion: The Virizzions have the simplest path to playoffs: win. A draw becomes a lot more finicky because if any of the others teams win (which is likely) then they will end up equal on points and then we are looking at a tiebreak situation. If the virizzions lose, then they have to hope all the teams below them do not win, and as the Missies play the Dubwools, a draw at least is guaranteed, hence a tiebreak would be their only chance to win.
TLDR
- Win: guaranteed playoffs.
- Draw: Playoffs if all teams in contention below them do not win, tiebreak if no teams in contention below them do not win by more than 5-3.
- Lose 5-3: Tiebreak if no teams in contention below them win
- Lose by more: out

5. :misdreavus: :Darkrai: :dubwool: Darkrais are in the best position here, as they play a team that is already out, but the Missies and Dubwools have the opportunity to knock each other out. Regardless, they all have the same path to playoffs: a win is required to have the best chance, especially given that the Virizzions are likely to get one point at least - a draw requires Virizzions to lose, and a loss is an exit from the tournament.
TDLR
- Win by more than 5-3: Playoffs if Virizzions do not win
- Win 5-3: Playoffs if Virizzions lose, tiebreak if Virizzions draw, otherwise out
- Draw: Playoffs if Virizzions lose by more than 5-3, tiebreak if Virizzions lose 5-3, otherwise out
- Lose: Out
- On top of this, if playoff conditions are met by two teams or more, tiebreak

Well what's likely to happen?
This is pure subjective speculation from boing btw!
I think the Virizzions are likely to draw at the very least - although I think it's unlikely that they can beat the Hearts but it is possible. This means that the teams below them likely need a win - this means one or both of the Dubwools or Missies will likely knock the other out. The Darkrais are likely to win if the Kyurems do not try given they are already out. Hence this week for the teams in 5th place is a race to get as many wins in the week as possible - this inherently gives Darkrais the best chance, but I'm assuming the Virizzions aren't going to win which is solidly within the realms of possibility. It's going to be an exciting end to regular season!
 
If we get a four way tie (Virizzions lose 3-5 and the other three teams all tie) I am declaring a three-team playoff with the one seed getting a bye.

for legal reasons, this is a joke
but actually does anyone know how multi-team tiebreaks work
 
gg won vs Tranquility

Updated playoff scenarios:

If either cityscapes or Yuki wins their game, the Virizzions clinch the final playoff spot regardless of the other results. The rest of these scenarios assume both lose, meaning the Virizzion end the week with a tie.

If any of the Misdreavuses, Dubwools, or Darkrais go 6-2 (or better) they will eliminate the Virizzions.
  • If both the Darkrais and one of the Misdreavuses or Dubwools win by 6-2 or more, the team with the greater differential this week will advance. If they finish with the same result this week, we will have a tiebreak between them.
If any of the Misdreavuses, Dubwools, or Darkrais win exactly 5-3, they will be in a tie with the Virizzions for the final playoff spot and we will have a tiebreaker.
  • If the Darkrai and one of the Misdreavuses or the Dubwools both finish 5-3, we will have a three-way tiebreaker.
  • The four way tiebreaker is no longer possible.
