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.

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.

League Description
It's lit at The Nightshow - a brand new OLD GENS ONLY draft league.

Season 1 will be a 16 player ORAS draft using the same rules as official Smogon ORAS tours. The draft board, tournament format, and all other info, can be found on the discord server.

Signups will close at 16 players or on June 10th, whichever comes first - but if we get lots of people signing up it can be increased to 24 or 32 players! After season 1 ends, we'll likely immediately be starting again with season 2 using the same format.

I'm also open to suggestions for different generations for future tours, or anything else you feel we can do better :) Just hop in the server and chat, it's good vibes

Thanks!
