How this works
- Managers need to be able to participate in an auction in order to draft their team.
- Managers must select the lineup for the week, and send it to me before the week starts. If you don't think you can do this for the duration of OMFL V (it's honestly not that complicated), do not sign up.
- Managers are responsible for making sure that the members of their team abide by the rules.
- Managers are expected to make substitutions when needed.
- Any player can sign up as long as they are not a player in OMPL XI and not Tourbanned.
- Managers will not play.
- The tournament is likely to last 6 to 8 weeks.
The tiers for this year are Almost Any Ability, Balanced Hackmons, Godly Gift, Mix and Mega, STABmons, Partners in Crime.
It is recommended to play all games on SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. Games can be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server if and only if both players agree, but run higher risk of interference from server restarts/crashes. The result between players may be decided in a best-of-one or best-of-three at the discretion of both players involved. If there is no agreement, the result will decided in a Bo1 by default.
Winning a round rewards a team with 2 points, drawing 1 point, and losing zero points. In addition, the manner in which the round has been won will also be recorded i.e. the difference between a team's wins and losses in a specific week's round (referred to as "Win Differential").
Playoffs:
Each team will play one another for five weeks. Based on the final standings, the top three teams will enter a Playoffs Round to determine the teams appearing in the finals.
Tiebreaker
In the event of two teams being tied for a spot in the finals based on points and win differential, or a tie in the final round itself, we will have a tiebreaker round(s).
Tiebreaker Rules: In the case of a lower seed tiebreaking with a higher seed, the Pick/Strike order will follow this order: Lower Seed Picks 1, Higher Seed Picks 1 and Strikes 1, Lower Seed Strikes 2, Higher Seed Strikes 1. This will result in 4 strikes and 2 picks, with the final meta being the unpicked + unstriked meta. In the case of an absolute tiebreaker (tied in all metrics), one of the captains of each team involved must play each other in a Bo1 Randbats Mayhem. The winner's team will be the higher seed in the tiebreaker selection process above.
Substitutes
Substitutes are to be used in the case of extenuating circumstances, whether on the first day of the week, or the last. At the same time, players should be relatively well-aware of who all are available to play in the opponent's camp. If last minute substitutes are being frequently used or abused and the hosts find explanations unsatisfactory, the hosts still reserve the right to veto them. In order to further prevent this being the case, teams are only granted a maximum of two substitutes per week. Any substitutions after the second will be vetoed.
Trades
The hosts have decided to not include trades this year due to reasons outlined in this thread - all roster decisions will be final, so draft carefully!
