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
Season 11 of Duffel Creatures INC Draft League!
DCDL is back once more for the tenth season!

Featuring 4 skill-based divisions for every type of competitor:

- Dragapult Division: Top Skill
- Hydreigon Division: High Skill
- Baxcalibur Division: Medium Skill
- Goodra Division: New Players/Low Skill

Here's how it works:

You build a squad using 115 points, then battle once a week on Pokémon Showdown to climb your division and reach playoffs.

The twist?
Your team starts from a random snake draft across all divisions, so every team feels fresh. Then Stage 2 lets you fix it: up to four rerolls, one delete for extra points, bonus rerolls if you keep a big budget, and safety nets if you only have ten mons.

You also pick Tera and Z-Captains with their own point caps and swap options, letting you shape a unique game plan all season long. Smart transactions and re-randoms help you tune the roster week by week.

Weekly games use Tera Preview NatDex Draft, with simple Smogon-based rules plus custom Baton Pass and Mega rules, so battles stay fair but creative. Clear deadlines and behavior rules keep things friendly and active.

Top six coaches in every division make playoffs, where best-of-three sets and flexible 9-mon prep pools reward planning and adaptation. Win your division, then win the grand finals and become the Duffel champion.

League Description
Welcome to the European Pokemon Plateau

This is a new league with focus on new and old draft formats. With time we will expand the server with a wide range of formats to play.

We wanted to create a server for mostly European players, just because time zone differences can be really annoying sometimes.

For the first Season we will start with a Gen 9 PalDex League, divided into 2 Divisions with 12 players each and a Relegation System inbetween them.

Sign ups for not European players are obviously possible, but be aware that it is likely to not get a spot if you have a big difference in time to Europe and the we get enought sign ups for 2 Divisions

We really hope to make this as great as possible for everyone! See you on the server!

League Description
The DDD team is happy to announce the last tournament of the year and the first tournament of 2026, the Mega Dimension Mayhem! This will be a Pokemon Legends: Z-A Draft League with National Dex + almost all of the new Mega Evolutions being draftable, including the new Mega Dimension Megas! (Some of them are banned... I'm looking at you Mega Magearna) However, unlike other leagues, we will be using the Legends Z-A OU Petmod abilities given to the Mega Evolutions. So, if you want to use Earth Eater Mega Heatran, Mind's Eye Mega Lucario Z, or even new abilities to old Mega Evolutions such as Soul-Heart Mega Dragonite and Regenerator Mega Audino, here's your chance! Z-A move additions, including those in the DLC, can also be used.

[Disclaimer: As Z-A OU is a Petmod, the abilities of the Mega Evolutions may change mid-tournament. DDD has no power over this. If changes are made to Mega abilities during the tournament, the DDD mod team reserves the right to review each affected matchup on a case-by-case basis, but most likely games will be moved to Custom Game.]

Tournament Information:
- Players will have 90 points to draft 8 Pokemon. 1 Mega Evolution per team.
- Players will be split into drafting pools of 8.
- Tera is banned.
- After the drafting phase, players will be sorted into battle pools of 4 players and given a 2-week window to play each other. 2-X advances to the bracket stage.
- After the battle pool phase, all the remaining players are organised into a single elimination bracket until we have a winner. Seeding will be according to differential + randomised as tiebreaker.

Applications will be open until Sunday 28th December 11:59 EST, with the draft starting the morning after the deadline.
