Rules
  • 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.

That said, I'm gonna do predictions, but I let /dice decide the victors.

Shoutouts:

SpaceSpeakers Thanks for asking me to manage this tour and handling everything the first half of the tour, I hope I wasn't too bad at managing the team when you were busy during the 2nd half of the tour

Geysers: I think we had you in mind before the draft as our bo3 since I didn’t want to self buy but clearly your 7-1 record primarily in sv meant it was a good decision to keep you in SV. Thanks for helping in all the prep channels you did and also dealing with literally me and deli in his sm prep channel in finals being a reenactment of Squidward looking outside his window and seeing Patrick and Spongebob running around scene.

RoFnA: Prepping for the draft me and Space wanted you but you signed up to manage the tour so I brought that up… thankfully you ended up back on the Groudons/Kyogres though. We’ve also teamed a decent amount of times and I admire how consistently well you do across oms and SV AG.

Mik3y: Going into the tour I did recognize your name but didn’t know what kinds of tiers you played the most but I think I considered you for SS AG, probably should’ve started you at the start but am really glad you were able to take over the SS slot and go 5-1 with promising games, you should definitely consider playing SS AG and SS Ubers in the future.

GigaBytes7: I’m not gonna lie I remember playing you on the ladder a lot during the bundle corv tusk treads meta and knew you would be worth the prize by being a good SV AG main and a great builder (I WILL be laddering with your teams). Great season from you our sv core of you RoFnA and Geysers greatly contributed to our season going right 4500 is a pretty wild price for you and I’m glad we went for you.

velvet: I think we had to go for an Oras main here and we happened to pick you up for a pretty good price of 7500 you + horii was probably the best oras pair we could ask for this AGWL. Our Oras games were always fun to watch, too bad we didn’t get to play Oras in finals… Your building was very good and not running ho at all this entire tour and doing so well is definitely impressive.

Delibird Heart: NGL idk how I got you to signup for this but very cool you still understand SM AG after all these years since it is kind of a tricky tier to learn or get used to again. I enjoyed watching you cook and also remake your current gen teams sign up for AGPL!!!

Horii: Putting you in the old gen flex slot every week just made sense and it worked out for us, later weeks sucked for you but in terms of luck and MU imo but putting you in bo3 made sense after I figured out Betathunder played oras ag before since starting our 2-5 bo3 slot into fc in a finals where every win mattered kind of felt risky. Glad our prep for FC in finals went that well.

Premonitions: Rough season and I wish we could have got you more test games for old gens I think you did very well in SV all tour but SM and SS were our weak points but I think that is partially just our lazy prep in this slot and not your fault. You were fun to talk to in the teamcord and felt like an important member to the team.

3cho: Of course you throw guaranteed victory week 1 into bail out then miss scheduled time week 2!!! I’m kidding, was cool to team with you and get you your first CA. I got you because I knew you were good at SS Natdex and played some sv ag games before on ladder so you kind of get the power level blame space for benching you after 1-0 wtf??? Enjoy the CA bro

Calmery: Thanks for the scouts and helping around the cord (I noticed from the audit logs) great buy for scouting and helping the technical side of the teamcord. Wish you could’ve got more games idt you played any games in last AGWL but if so great debut game and again thanks for everything.

Razachu: Undefeated in SV AG! You were great in UMPL when we teamed so I was happy to forward you to Space instantly. Very valuable SV sub and great person for the teamcord environment. Hope we can team again sometime.

betathunder: I am SO sorry for forcing you to play that stall mirror vs Baddy (triple sm was very bad from me should have discussed more/earlier with the team. Thanks for being able to play in semis for us and slot into finals. We didn’t have too much sm subs so having you was pretty huge.

Maarck: Thanks for playing test games and being able to sub in when we needed it the most. I wish we could have gave you more games but the team is huge and we had so much good starters it was hard to fit you in. Enjoy your first CA well deserved!

a fairy: Was fun to have you in the teamcord whenever you talked, and I think you were also fine to sub into sv at some point so that is appreciated too.

OceanicGamer: Fun person to have in the teamcord and you getting a Kyogre ca is fire lets win 35pl next.

Sificon: Thanks for being there to either flex SV or sub into SV I know you with Geysers support is pretty broken so having you on the bench was pretty good for us.

Zcarlett: Having you in the teamcord was fun whenever you talked or discussed flex slots. I think you were fine with subbing or flexing old gens if needed so that is appreciated too.

Zong200: Thanks for your scouts, the sm pastes (I was using them for reference all season because I lost my builder) and you were cool to have in the teamcord, wish we could’ve gave you more games but I’ve said that like 7 times because we have so much capable players on the bench. Enjoy the CA!

Thanks for either prepping or just supporting our run throughout the whole tour

This tour was fun to manage! Usually whenever I manage I feel like I’m pretty useless compared to when I am a starter or sub and just not that motivated usually. But this felt different because this was my first time managing AG, probably one of the only tiers I can be able to manage and support/play at a high level. So the motivation was there for me at least with helping prep (I didn’t want to self buy because I always go neutral in AGPL/AGWL) and felt like I could support more talented players/clickers I could try to buy, and that worked out at in our SS and SM slots I suppose so good on my end there idt I would've done nearly as well as a starter as all of our starters did. Also I wrote this on a Sunday night my bad if anything looks off.
