Welcome to the eighth edition of NFEPL! Your hosts for this NFEPL will be myself and AhmedxWaleed. You may only use this thread to sign up as a manager for this tournament, and any other posts will be deleted. There will be six teams chosen for this tournament, with the hosting team selecting the pairings. You must be active for the entire tournament, and are expected to send lineups to the hosts in a timely manner. If you are unable to make the commitment, do not sign up to manage. Both managers will be allowed to selfbuy for 15k each. The total budget will be 100k (8 starters + 2 substitutes minimum). The format for the tournament this year will be as follows:

Managers: Finchely PandaDoux
Team Name: The Tinka Toughs
Prior Experience: I am one of the most active name within the community and has been so for years, I managed UMPL II and went all the way to finale, i basically shadow managed UMPL IV due to one of my manager being inactive, in which we went to Semis and i'm currently managing ZUWC II in which we're in finale rn, anybody who's teamed with me knows how comitted and active i am in team tournaments, especially NFEPL. I know the playerbase very well, old gens included, and i believe i'm a great candidate to manage this year's NFEPL. While Finchely is a relative newcomer to NFE, she's quickly found herself at home within the community. She's contributed to forum discussion, and has also made it to round 4 of the currently-ongoing No Johns tournament. When it comes to other tournament results, She went 4-2 in both UMPL and UUbersPL, and made the semifinals of Ubers UU Swiss 2. She's only ever managed for UbersUUPL, but was able to push her team all the way to the finals. Furthermore, anyone who's teamed with Finchely would be able to speak about how she's a positive presence in a teamcord, doing scouts or even playing tiers outside of her experience in order to help teammates get tests.

Manager: Jeza.p
Assistant Manager: Maybca☆〜ゝ。∂
Team Name: :pignite: BBQ Squad :pignite:
Prior Experience
I’ve had the privilege of leading Team France in both the UU and NU World Cups, while also managing across a wide range of major tournaments, including PTPL, HPL, BSSPL, UUbersPL, UUSD, RUPL, and several others.
Since beginning my managerial journey on Smogon in 2023, I’ve built a consistent and proven track record. I’ve won the UUFPL twice (in 2023 and 2025), reached the finals of the Spanish PL (EPL) in 2023 before claiming the title in 2024, and more recently secured victories in both the Teamballo (Italian PL) and the latest edition of the Chinese PL.
My commitment also extends to the NFE tournament scene, where I managed Andiamo al Klang during the last UMPL, and previously led the Martini Machoke in NFE PL, where my team became the undisputed champions.

Let me also introduce my co-manager Maybca☆〜ゝ。∂ , someone with deep roots in the NFE scene. He's been playing both SS and SV at a high level for a long time, consistently reaching the later rounds of NFE Seasonals, often pushing to Round 9 or 10. He’s no stranger to responsibility either, having served on the SV NFE Council until recently.
His experience isn't just limited to playing, he also knows what it takes to lead a team, having managed the Dancing Monferno during last year’s NFE PL until the Playoffs, and he's even taken home an NFE Open title. I’m genuinely glad to be teaming up with him this time, we’re ready to bring a strong, well-rounded vision to this tournament.

Manager: Kingler
Assistant Manager: Quinn
Team Name: Shell Smash Slugmas
Prior Experience:
I think Quinn has managed about 10 PLs this year alone. We made finals tiebreak of lcbc managing together. I won lcpl last year as part of a core with our managers, drafting, subbing and making tiebreak decisions. I am currently managing LCPL. I’ve been in and managed SPL.
 
Me and FishyRoads
Night Shining Necrozmas
I Have Managed 15+ PLS this year including offside and onsite which includes 80% playoff rate, A win in HGPL,runners up in AXPL,quarters in bw world cup. Other mentions will be BSSPL runner up(2x),ADPL,BSSWC,etc.I Have Also played UMBD, so i have a decent amount of experience and knowledge about the tier. Fishys main thing is hes a relatively new UM player that has had some good recent results (notably this year's UMGS)

He don't actively have many results on NFE or managing experience but most teamtours he have been on he have been an active presence on the chat and have made a great presence. If Given A Chance Would Love To Give It our best shot.

Manager: Slikkles
Assistant Manager: JeoZ
Team Name: Destined Drakloaks
Prior Experience: JeoZ has managed the World Cup of Random Battles for Mexico. Espagnol fl where he made semies and the on going pmpl.
I've managed Random Battles Farmer League where we made semies too.
JeoZ and I know each other well. We played in the same team multiple time. I play all of the um ssnls atm including the nfe one. We would make a strong team and give our best to succeed. We also would cover timezones well. My experience from playing in many team tours including Random Battles Team tour, Rupl, Cappl and more means that I know how to manage and make a team work. Let's get it !

Manager: IoSonoNeon
Assistant Manager: Quagg
Team Name: Hauntails
Prior Experience: Managed and won the previous NFEPL with Jeeza and NFEPL V, during the same year i previosuly managed Teamballo too and have an history of managing with countless other tours such as DPL, RBYPL III and UMPL. Anytime i manage the main goal is to create a friendly and easygoing environment and that has always helped me to reach the point of the game which is to do our best sure but also to have fun. This is how and why we play this game. I also sketched a logo since i got some free time today, i put the aperol and the martini as a reference of the time i managed during my venture in NFE. Hope you enjoy it and have a nice one folks!

Manager: Mirbro
Assistant Manager: Michael Jordan
Team Name: Bayern Munchlax
Prior Experience: Yours truly was manager two/three years ago of the same team. Before and since then, I have been participating as player in NFEPL and other NFE-related tours. Experienced and council member of SV, SS, and SM. I have also managed other tournaments in the past (ZUPL, UMPL, ZUWC, RBWC)
Michael Jordan is the GOAT. So that is something. Honestly, "kind of" new in the radar but doing great not only in ZU but also in NFE old gens, winning the hell ORAS tournament and getting to finals of the Triathlon. They have proved to be a good NFE player in old gens and they are excited on managing.
