Hello everyone, it's CAPPL season again! The format for CAPPL XI will be our classic and well loved lineup of:
Code:
3 SV
SS
SM
ORAS
BW
DPP

You can have one co-manager, and you can add them later or choose them during the draft. The manager selection process is mostly subjective. The hosts (shnowshner, Anchor9, and Murphy Lawden) alongside the rest of the moderation team will select the managers we feel are most strongly suited for the tournament. Only post in this thread if you would like to manage a team – all other posts will be deleted.

If you are a returning manager, make sure to identify the team which you are reclaiming by the letter assigned to it. Returning managers will be given priority to reclaim their existing teams, but they may not take over a team that was not previously theirs.

Manager name:
Assistant manager: (if there's any)
Team name:
Returning manager:
Previous team:

Example:

Manager name: velvet
Assistant manager: rumia
Team name: Voodoom Patrol
Returning manager: Yes
Previous team: A

For new managers, the returning managers have priority to claim their previous teams, so when choosing a team to take over, try to choose one that will not be taken. Below are the list of teams, their assigned letter, and list of retains:
Manager name:
Assistant manager: (if there's any)
Team name:
Team preference 1:
Team preference 2:

example:

Manager name: shnowshner
Assistant manager: spammernoob
Team name: Naughty Necturna's
Team preference 1: F
Team preference 2: C

Manager name: Quinn
Assistant manager: Baddy
Team name: Mollux Mafia
Team preference 1: C
Team preference 2: D (We are fine with any team)
Baddy played in the last CAPPL and CAPCL and I played in the last CAPCL winning the tournament. We both had the best SV records in the last CAPCL 7-2 and 5-2. When it comes to managing we have managed a lot of tournaments and made playoffs most of the time and won a few.

If only someone didn't piss off SCL Champion Piyu we'd be fine
These manager pair selections have got to be a joke. At first, I thought that its better to stay silent and let it pass, but on reconsidering it, I think it sets a dangerous precedent for the future. From what I understand, there are two primary qualities that the host looks for in any manager that has signed up.
Competence and experience in said tiers
Team chemistry /Ability to lead a team

One can argue about the weightage of said qualities, but everyone agrees that these are what every manager should have at the bare minimum. If you sign up to manage, it means that you back yourself in both these departments. Its then the host's job to use their best judgement to pick the best out of the bunch, for the overall health and success of the tournament. That does not seem to be the case here.

One look at the manager pairs, and anyone that has been keeping up with CAP in recent times will tell you that something is off.
