Following some discussion with the managers and LGPE Discord server, we've decided to make a few changes to the tour format due to the low number of teams. First, the main season will now last 6 weeks and consist of two round robins between the teams. Finals will be between the top two teams. We are also adding two new slots, VGC and Draft. These tiers were requested by quite a few community members, and expanding the team size will give more players a chance to participate.

Regarding LGPE Draft, a finalized draft board and detailed rules will be published soon, but an example board can be found here. Teams will create three drafts each and select one when submitting lineups each week.

Additionally, the auction budget will now be 110k, and teams must consist of at least 11 players (8 starters + 3 subs). Manager self-buys will now cost 12.5k.

Player signups will last an additional week, now ending the weekend of October 11th. The following week will be used for drafting, and week 1 of battles will start around October 19th.

Pinging managers, everyone with a signup post, and some people who expressed interest in VGC or Draft so you can adjust your signup if you wish.

We have a few more updates:

LC will be played as a best of 3 set due to the speed of the tier.
If both players publicly agree, LC can be played as a BO1 and other tiers can be played as a BO3. The bestof=3 modifier should always be used in the challenge code for VGC games.

The Draft board can be found on this spreadsheet. Costs are subject to change until player signups close, but the final board will most likely be very close to this. Preliminary drafting rules can be found here:
• Teams will each create three drafts.
• Each team will have up to 65 points with which to draft 8 Pokémon per draft. Pokémon costs are listed on the Drafting Pools and Draft Board tabs.
• You must ping the next team's Discord role when picking a Pokémon. The next team's timer will begin once they are pinged.
• The timer will be 8h long for all rounds and active non-stop once it goes into effect at 12pm (noon) GMT-4 on the Monday after the auction. A team's timer will halve every time they are skipped. This halving will only apply to the pool they were skipped in.
• Picks can be edited until the next team makes their pick, but you must make a new post declaring the edit.
• Drafts may only have 1 Mega Evolution, and the non-Mega variants of Pokémon may not Mega Evolve.
• All Mewtwo formes, Mew, Melmetal, Mega Aerodactyl, Mega Alakazam, Mega Beedrill, and Mega Gengar are banned.
• If a legal Pokémon doesn't have a cost listed on either tab, please contact a host and they will determine the Pokémon’s cost.
• Smogon’s Species Clause applies to all drafts. You may not have both Raichu and Alolan Raichu on the same draft, for example.
• If a Pokémon is picked by another team, it may not be picked. (Alternate formes are considered different Pokémon for this rule. For example, all three Charizard can be picked in a pool, but not to the same draft)
• When submitting lineups, teams will announce their chosen draft for the week. This choice cannot be undone during the week even if the Draft player subs out.
• Players may only bring Pokémon from the team's chosen draft for the week, and Pokémon may only Mega Evolve if they were drafted specifically as that Mega forme.
• Battles should be played in the [Gen 7 Let's Go] OU tier on smogtours.psim.us or play.pokemonshowdown.com.
• The following clauses apply:
- Species Clause: A player cannot have two Pokémon with the same National Pokédex number on a team.
- Sleep Clause: If a player has already put a Pokémon on their opponent's side to sleep and it is still sleeping, another one can't be put to sleep.
- Evasion Clause: A Pokémon may not hold an item, use a move or possess an ability that can increase their evasion stat.
- OHKO Clause: A Pokémon may not have the moves Fissure, Guillotine, Horn Drill, or Sheer Cold in its moveset.
- Endless Battle Clause: Players cannot intentionally prevent an opponent from being able to end the game without forfeiting.
• During week 3, teams will be allowed to make changes to their drafts. These changes will go into effect at the start of week 4. This is the only point in the season during which transactions are legal.
• Teams will be allowed 8 transactions each. These are shared across all three drafts.
• Inter-team trades are permitted within a specfic drafting pool. These trades will not cost either team transactions.
• All drafts must abide by the original rules by Saturday 1pm GMT-4. Before then, you may have less than 8 Pokemon on a draft while making decisions. You cannot exceed 8 Pokemon at any point.

Teh and Rei will be self-buying, leaving The Zapdostistas and Stargazing Starmies with 97.5k each

Finally, the auction has been scheduled for <t:1760293800:F>
