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.

- A brand new server that host draft leagues with the following formats
- Current Generation OU
- National Dex Low Tier

- Up to 4 divisions in each format (16 coaches per division max) depending on interest/amount of applications
- 8 week reg season
- 4 week playoffs

I will be hosting my first ever draft league with my friends and hopefully soon to be friends (YOU)! Any skill level accepted, just join the discord and say hi! The format will be in Pokémon Champions, and will be similar to Regulation F of Scarlet and Violet, only banning mythical and restricted Pokémon, but allowing Legendary Pokémon. Mega Evolution will be allowed. There will be some unique twists that I'm planning, giving a flair to the usual draft league. We will start this summer (when I don't have any classes) and end the season by the end of summer. I hope to see you there!

Our server is starting up a new season of draft and the format we are doing is Low Tier Nat Dex!! If you are interested, please join our server and sign-up in #server-announcements! We are planning to have 3 different divisions with each being its own skill difficulty. We are a very fun and friendly bunch so if this sounds like your jam, come and join us as Pacifica!!

*Note*
This is our first season doing this format so the tiering/costs will probably be off. We are planning on having a session where the community can discuss what changes are needed. (We like to give the server members as much authority as possible when it comes to mon tiering/costs)
