Resource Draft League Advertisement Thread

[Hacker]

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
DBB Draft League is officially coming back for its 6th season! We have made the decision for this upcoming season to RESET all divisions as well as promotions and demotions to start fresh.

DBB Draft League S6 will be 16-man divisions with 8-man drafting pools in the Paldex format hosted on pokemonshowdown.com. To raise the competitiveness and stakes for this season, Eigt, Xev, and myself will each be contributing $50 to our $150 Prize Pool distributed like so between the divisions for the winners:

Flare Blitz - $75
Heat Crash - $45
Reckless - $30

The divisions will be separated by mainly skill and things like activity and accomplishments will also be taken into account. There will only be 48 spots this season. Signups will run until October 18th with drafting starting after that. Please make sure you join the discord with the link provided and good luck!
