Welcome to the Smogon Draft Leagues advertisement thread! As you may know, there won't be a Discord plug channel made on the Smogon Draft Leagues server, as this thread is the alternative. This will provide a hub for individual league advertising, where draft users and Smogon users can access and integrate with the community in the same way, hopefully leading to more growth from both sides!

To submit an advertisement, please click on this form and answer all the questions.

https://www.smogon.com/forums/draft-advertisement-submission-form/

Once you have submitted, your post will be awaiting moderator approval. Once the mod team approves your league, it will be visible in this thread.

We are only acceptive advertisements of leagues currently in the signup stage. If your league's season hasn't started yet, please wait to apply until signups are available. When applying, ensure that all necessary dates and league pre-requisites are clearly described. The league description should also contain some basic information such as what the league and format is. As this is a Smogon forum, please try to enforce that Smogon banned users are not present in servers.

# ToR Season 10 Applications are now open!!! :partying_face:

Hello everyone! :wave::sparkles:

After a short break from our last offseason, we’re opening applications for Treasures of Ruin Draft League — Season 10! :tada::trophy:

This season, we’re introducing **National Dex Champions Pseudo Ubers (High-Tier Tera)** :muscle::crystal_ball:

### :mag: What is the format?

This NatDex Champions format focuses on **Pseudo Ubers** with the addition of the new Champion Megas and movesets—Pokémon that are usually too strong for standard draft leagues but fall short in full Ubers due to stronger competition.
To help balance the format, select high-tier Pokémon will be allowed to **Terastalize** :gem: to better check these threats.

### :pushpin: Season Details:

* Pseudo Ubers like **Giratina-Origin** and **Kyurem-Black** are legal :astonished::fire:
* Complex-banned Ubers like **No Heavy Slam Mega Metagross** and **No Dance Rayquaza** are legal :astonished::fire:
* New Champion Movesets and Mega Evolutions are included up to **Mega Golisopod and Mega Baxcalibur** :gem::fire:
* **7-week regular season + playoffs** :crossed_swords::checkered_flag:
* **120-point budget** for **9–10 Pokémon** + Tera tax :moneybag::sparkles:
* **No grace period** — free agency opens immediately after the draft :no_entry_sign::hourglass_flowing_sand:
* **Applications close October 6** (may vary slightly) :pencil2::calendar_spiral:
* **Coach reveals & draft order: October 7**, with the draft starting immediately :stopwatch::mega:

We welcome players of **all skill levels** and look forward to another fun, competitive season! :smiley_cat::handshake:

### :handshake: Co-Coaching:

Co-coaching is allowed if you can’t commit solo—just bring a partner and share the season!

* Ghosting allowed **only between teammates** :ghost::arrow_right::busts_in_silhouette:
* Either coach may play draft matches :video_game:
* Build, plan, and play together on call :headphones::brain:

For questions or additional info, contact **xterminasian23** or any Moderator / Central Committee member :mailbox_with_mail::shield:

We hope to see you in **Season 10**! :rocket::sparkles:

Pacifica Season 4 Sign-Ups!!
Nat Dex OU + ZA Megas!!!
Howdy y'all! Pacifica is starting up a new season and the format we are doing is Nat Dex OU with ZA Megas!!! This is going to be an exciting season so if you are interested, please join our server and fill out the application form in #server-announcements! We will have 3 different divisions of varying skill levels, with a grand tournament at the end that involves all 3 divisions! Pacifica is a super fun and friendly server so if you're ready to join another draft league then come join us at Pacifica!

Note: We will be using Drafteon for this season, its a super easy tool for draft leagues where you (yes you!) can make/queue draft picks, complete transactions, and conduct trades without the need to wait for any staff member!

Additionally, we will be adjusting the draft board to account for ZA megas and terastalization (9 points and under can tera). But we will also have a VC session where anyone can join and voice their draft board changes! Everyone has a voice, regardless if you have been with us from the beginning or if you joined us 10 minutes ago! We like to give server members as much authority as possible when it comes to tiering/costs/bans!

Application Link
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdI7Um9_5gaskTUqtvHu_k6V8VXvwk98fVQpOoYUmneyJu8TA/viewform?usp=header

League Description
Erbear's Draft League is back for Season 2, now running Regulation M-C, and I'm looking for 10-12 coaches, depending on interest.

Season 1 recap: Season 1 (Reg M-B) went great. We had zero drops and every match was played through the entire regular season and playoffs. I'm looking for people who want to keep that going. You can see the full Season 1 recruiting post here: [https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonDraftLeagues/s/UDGEuSd1Bh]

Format:

10-12 coaches
Reg M-C, VGC doubles, played on the Pokémon Champions platform
Weekly games, one game per week
Multiple weeks of regular season play, followed by a playoff bracket
Results reported by Sunday night each week

Timeline:
Once we hit 10-12 coaches, we'll aim to draft the following weekend/week. The week after the draft is Week 1.

Schedule:
I'm on USA East Coast time, so scheduling will be organized with that in mind.

Who I'm looking for:
People who are committed to playing through the full season. All experience levels are welcome, and first-timers are fine.

To sign up, fill out the application link

It just asks for:
Discord Username
Pokémon Champions in-game name
Draft league experience
Time zone
Any other bonus info

How it works:
A Google Sheet and Discord server will be used for drafting, scheduling, and standings. Once the league is set, I'll send the Discord invite and share the sheet with everyone. Returning Season 1 players already have the server.

Feel free to reach out via discord with any questions. Looking forward to a great Season 2!

Introducing the **Weather Cup**, a **Regulation M-C VGC Draft tournament** and the first of our tournament series!

This tournament will run the Swiss format, meaning you will play opponents with similar standings each week. The swiss rounds will last 4-6 weeks, depending on the number of signups, with the top cut facing off in a playoff bracket afterwards.

Signups are first come first served and close on October 17 at 11:59 pm EST with the draft beginning the next day. The tierlist will be out some time within the next week, but you can expect similar tiers to Smogon's recent VGC tournament.

League Description
Hello everyone. This league is special and funky as you must draft a 10-12 pokemon team built around one pokemon, snorlax/Chubbs. Chubbs is my snorlax i have everywhere and i love using him competitively despite what people think about it's viability. This league is for those who wish to show if they've got the might, the power to win with their snorlax and beat everyone else's to go down in the CDL Hall of Fame.

This league has two skill divisions: Premiier and Chubbs division, both with singles 6v6 and VGC formats, so if you're a pokemon master, a rising start or even just a youngster Joey on route one, there is a place for you in my league.

Sign up at your leisure and may the best Snorlax win.
