How this works
There are 8 teams this year. Each team will have have 8 players and at least 4 subs. The players are bought using the 120k credits that managers receive during the auction. Managers and co-managers will be allowed to purchase themselves as players for their team at a fixed price of 20k. The managers must inform the hosts (Isaiah, UT) of all self purchases before the beginning of the auction. Teams can win their matchup every week by winning 5 of the 8 matches that their players have to play.​
​
The tier lineup this year is as follows:​
  1. SS Almost Any Ability
  2. SS Balanced Hackmons
  3. SS Godly Gift
  4. SS Mix and Mega
  5. SS NFE
  6. SS STABmons
  7. SS 2v2 Doubles (Best of 5)
  8. SS Anything Goes
All games will be played on the Pokemon Showdown main server or SmogTours in the most current version of the format corresponding to those listed above. 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 seven weeks. Based on the final standings, the top 4 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: One metagame will be picked by each manager, and each manager will also pick one metagame to strike. Additionally, each manager will submit a backup meta to strike in case their choice is the same as the opposing team's pick. The third format will be determined at random by the hosts from the remaining unpicked, unstruck metagames. In the event that the picks and strikes from each manager are the same, the hosts will determine both the second and third format at random based on the remaining options. All three metagames must be unique, so no format can be picked twice.​

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!​

RE: Team Rosters

Since this year's OMPL features 8 metagames instead of 6, teams must have a minimum of 8 players and 4 substitutes. This is first to obviously make sure every metagame is played, but also to make sure managers have enough subs to account for the larger team size.

RE: Auction credits

The hosts have decided to expand the amount of credits this year to 120k per team in order to account for the increased number of team slots. The price for self-purchasing a manager or co-manager will remain at 20k.

RE: Tiebreakers

We have decided to change the tiebreaker system from last year. In the event of a tiebreaker:
1) Each team will pick a format
2) Each team will strike a format (as well as a backup in case an opposing team picks a meta you intended to strike)
3) Finally, the hosts will use !pick on PS to decide the third format based on the remaining 4 options.

In the event that the two teams pick and strike the same formats (e.g. team 1 and team 2 both pick AAA and strike STAB as their top choices), the hosts will use !pick on PS to decide the second and third formats based on the remaining 6 options.

RE: Player misconduct

In the event that a player displays excessively unsportsmanlike behavior or breaks any of the PS Global Rules or Smogon-wide posting rules (including in team discords), the hosts will investigate on a case-by-case basis. In the event that a player must be ejected from a team for their behavior, managers will be allowed to pick one player from the undrafted pool at no cost.

MANAGER PAIRINGS:

Aberforth & Kate -> adem & DerpyBoi

Due to personal reasons and recent events, Aberforth/Kate will no longer be managers for this year's edition of OMPL.

Please congratulate adem and DerpyBoi on managing the *winces internally* LARPING Lopunnys!
 
Submitting player lineups

Since everyone now has their players, here's how to submit lineups to be used for OMPL weeks.

A week will last from Monday morning to Sunday night, so the deadline for submitting lineups will be at Sunday at 10:00 PM GMT -4, and failure to do so will result into randomization of your lineup for week one, or reuse of your previous week's lineup. Any illegal lineups will result in randomization or reuse of lineups. Any changes to said lineup afterwards will have to be done by using your four substitutes. We will send out reminders when appropriate.

When submitting your lineups, we would strongly prefer if you send them to us via Smogon DM. Submissions by PS pms will NOT be accepted.

Here's how we'd prefer you submit lineups to us.

In Smogon DMs, make a conversation with both hosts (Isaiah and UT) and your co-manager with the title "OMPL Lineup Submissions" and include your lineup in the conversation. Submit the lineup exactly as in the formatting below (Code formatting, and must include the @)

Code: 
SS 2v2 Doubles - @PlayerName
SS Almost Any Ability - @PlayerName
SS Anything Goes - @PlayerName
SS Balanced Hackmons - @PlayerName
SS Godly Gift - @PlayerName
SS Mix and Mega - @PlayerName
SS NFE - @PlayerName
SS STABmons - @PlayerName

Note: Every week's lineup can be submitted in the same conversation, but each week must be in a new message, so you may not edit a prior message in the conversation with your new lineup.
Changes in lineups may happen freely before the deadline, after which substitutes will have to be used. Be sure to notify us of each change.

Week 1 will start by Monday, April 4th, so get the lineups to us by Sunday, April 3rd at 10:00 PM GMT-4.

Announcement: Zamazenta-Crowned, Smogtours, and AAA

Due to an unexpected side effect of a coding change, the AAA team validator is inadvertently failing to validate Zamazenta-Crowned. Additionally, the issue cannot be avoided by using challenge code.

However, the code change is not live on Smogtours, so we are recommending playing all remaining AAA games this week on Smogtours to avoid this issue.

This issue should not affect any other metagames, and we will let you know if/when it is resolved.
