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.

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!

HELL is a custom pokemon draft league with custom megas, paradox forms, evolutions, regionals, and abilities! This season will be even more chaotic with the introduction of the 10 turn weather megas. We are looking for two natdex draft divisions and a side league division. The side league being a Buffmons/Nerfmons format that doesn't have custom pokemon but buffs mons like Chimecho, Absol, Marowak while nerfing mons like Koraidon, Arceus, etc to be balanced. In addition, there are multiple opportunities in the main league to be able to submit your own custom pokemon so if you want to see a concept put into life then here's a chance for you!

We currently (as of March 31) need 6 more players. Looking for roughly mid level players (experience playing Pokemon and maybe Draft Leagues too, but ideally not a pro player who will destroy all of us. At the same time, it would be nice to fill out the league quickly so I am not too picky)
We are looking to start in late June (around the 21st) after exams are done. The league will go through the summer. We may start sooner than that and delay through exams though.

League Description
Radical Red is Pokémon Difficulty ROM Hack that provides buffs to unsuspecting and underrated Pokémon, from ability buffs such as Magic Guard Delphox and Corrosion Crobat to movepool additions like Grassy Glide Tapu Bulu and Pyro Ball Infernape. Radical Red also adds new Megas and regional forms.

This league will have 3 (Tentative) skill-based divisions; each division will have 2 separate 8 man drafting pools.

You will have 100 pts to draft 9-10 Pokémon.

No Tera (Does not exist in Radical Red), Gems, or Z Moves.

The Tier List contains notes pertaining to (most; not 100% detailed but everything listed is correct) Pokémon buffs (and nerfs). While the notes are helpful, I'd also recommend double checking for things via the radical red client.
