​
There are 8 teams this year. Each team will have have 8 players and at least 4 subs. The players are bought using the 100k 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 13.5k. The managers must inform the hosts (berry, UT, and Vertigo) 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:​
  • SV Almost Any Ability
  • SV Balanced Hackmons
  • SV STABmons
  • SV Mix and Mega
  • SV Godly Gift
  • SV Partners in Crime
  • SV Inheritance
  • Best of Three (AAA / STAB / MnM)
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, 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 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: Both teams submit four strike choices, ranked. The hosts process both lists at the same time until we end up with three metas (if both of them strike the same meta at some point) or more likely, four unstruck metas. If there are four, the hosts randomly pick three of the four for tiebreaker.​

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!​

Scheduling
Scheduling should be done on Smogon Profile walls, plain and simple:​
  • If there is communication on only one user's behalf, the win will go to them. Feel free to call activity in this thread beforehand
  • If there is a very healthy back and forth regarding potential times and one user is a no-show, a manager may take the opportunity to sub out the no-show competitor; if this is not done, the user that showed up responsibly will be awarded the win.
TL;DR: Post on your opponent's Smogon wall, schedule your matches, and be reliable. If you can't play for any reason, let your manager know so they can sub you out ASAP.​

Sportsmanship
Exhibitions of unsportsmanlike conduct with regards to the Other Metagame Premier League will be met with an infraction at the discretion of the OMPL host/OM mods. This is unlikely to include interactions within a team's private chat unless there is reason found to make an exception. This rule is meant to protect other users from being publicly flamed/bashed/provoked by another competitor for the duration of and following the tournament.​
​
All players must complete their matches by the given deadline. Any incomplete matches by that time will be subject to an activity decision (MAKE SURE YOU POST ON YOUR OPPONENT'S WALL); otherwise, it will be a deadgame. All matches should ideally be done on your most notable alt (the one you registered for OMPL with) to avoid confusion and all match replays must be saved and posted in this thread.​

Substitutions & Lineups
Managers, if you wish to make any substitutions, you must post here tagging both the player you're subbing out, the player you're subbing in, the manager and assistant manager of the opposing team, the substitute's opponent, and all of the hosts. This is to assure that everyone is in-the-loop and that the OP is updated accordingly to reflect the new match-up.​
​
Managers, when you send in lineups, please send it in with the tier and Smogon username of each player fully written out for ease of transcription, following these guidelines exactly.​

YOU KNOW THEY SAY ALL TEAMS ARE CREATED EQUAL. BUT YOU LOOK AT US AND YOU LOOK AT SOLGALEOS AND YOU CAN SEE THAT STATEMENT IS NOT TRUE! SEE NORMALLY IF YOU GO 8 ON 8 WITH ANOTHER TEAM YOU GOT A 50 50 CHANCE OF WINNING! BUT WE'RE GENETIC FREAKS AND WE'RE NOT NORMAL! SO YOU GOT A 25% AT BEST. AT BEAT US! AND THEN YOU ADD WALKING WOKES AND THE HEART TAKERS TO THE MIX, YOU THE CHANCES OF WINNING DRASTIC GO DOWN! SEE THE 4 WAY AT PLAYOFFS YOU GOT A 33 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING. BUT WE, WE GOT A 66 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING CAUSE WOKES KNOooOWS THEY CAN'T BEAT US, AND THEY'RE NOT EVEN GONNA TRY! SO SOLGALEOS YOU TAKE YOUR 33 1/3 CHANCE MINUS OUR 25 CHANCE AND YOU GOT 8 1/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT FINALS. BUT THEN YOU TAKE OUR 75 PERCENT CHANCE OF WINNING, IF WE WAS TO GO 8 ON 8 AND THEN ADD 66 2/3 PERCENTS. WE GOT A 141 2/3 CHANCE OF WINNING AT FINALS! SOUL STEALERS? THE NUMBERS DON'T LIE AND THEY SPELL DISASTER FOR YOU THIS OMPL!

HOLLA IF YA HEAR ME
 
semi finals woo

:walking-wake:Walking Wokes vs W Virizzions :virizion:
AAA: Betticus IV vs Sylvi - Sylvi has been very innovative with their builds and I've also liked fiora's builds too, but this is by no means an easy match for them - this one will be close, and I'd favour the Wokes
BH: Chessking345 vs cityscapes - On gut Chessking wins this, but this is also going to be a close one
GG: Stories vs Taka - I think the Wokes' GG slot on the whole has been stronger
Inh: pannu vs Lily - By far and away one of the top performers in the whole tournament, Lily is probably the favourite here, although "the strongest Inh player of today" may pose some issues along the way
MNM: Redflix vs pyu - Redflix has far more tour and tier experience compared to pyu, compounded by the fact the Virizzions have had their MnM slot go winless. An upset isn't out of the question but it's definitely unlikely
PIC: Evie vs Yuki - Matchup of the week: I've bolded yuki but really this could easily go either way and should be a great game to watch, IF yuki turns up to play - however now he is in the playoffs he will likely go a little bit further. Whichever player wins this game bags a massive advantage for their team.
STAB: Fissure vs avarice - Not a lot separates these two - both are very competent players supported by very competent builds, and this could end up going either way
BO3: Jrdn vs astralydia - fiora is on the up again

:manaphy: Heart Takers vs Soul-Stealing Seven-Star Solgaleos :solgaleo:
AAA: frankjosh vs Lana - Both of these slots have underperformed slightly but I think Lana is the better player and will have a point to prove in the semis
BH: Ivar57 vs aerobee - The player with the best BH record will finally prove that UNecro is top tier - but he still won't help me with my custom team...
GG: Fraise vs Dr. Phd. BJ - Dr. Phd. BJ is an insane player but Fraise is exceptionally skilled as well - and is one of the best GG players around. It doesn't help that the Solgaleos have been floundering in this slot throughout the tour
Inh: Don Vascus vs BlackKnight_Gawain - Don Vascus probably comes into this with the most momentum, having toppled the player with the best record in the final week
MNM: PociekMociek vs Icemaster - Will be a very fun match to watch, I respect both these players greatly and they have been fantastic throughout the tour. Icemaster is the favourite on paper however
PIC: HiZo vs DeepFriedMagikarp - HiZo plays and builds like a madman - very talented player and DFM will have his hands full this week.
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs Fc - This one is going to be close, but Fc's experience of STAB should see him through.
BO3: SammyCe123 vs xavgb - Drop everything. The greatest OMs player of today vs the greatest OMs player of all time. Make a note of this in your diary because this is a fucking dynamite matchup (*if stresh's internet doesn't die) and I am not going to even try and predict it
 
Two great playoff pairings, congrats everyone and let's make this an ompl to remember!

:walking-wake: Walking Wokes 3 - 5 W Virizzions :virizion:
AAA: Betticus IV vs Sylvi i don't like predicting against the h2h with players i don't know much about, and sylvi burnout
BH: Chessking345 vs cityscapes city stan itc
GG: Stories vs Taka stronger overall player even though there's an unfortunate record in taka's posession
Inh: pannu vs Lily game of the week imo
MNM: Redflix vs pyu on fire mnm vs a not very on fire mnm
PIC: Evie vs (Yuki Subbed) Yuki this comes down to meta familiarity and yuki has more momentum
STAB: Fissure vs avarice these stab games are super hard to predict
BO3: Jrdn vs astralydia is this 2019?

:manaphy: Heart Takers 4 - 4 Soul-Stealing Seven-Star Solgaleos :solgaleo:
AAA: frankjosh vs Lana kinda mid records from both players, lana is more consistent overall even though worse record and has much more experience
BH: Ivar57 vs aerobee ivar nerves of steel can probably withstand pure hackmons
GG: Fraise vs Dr. Phd. BJ bj has a much better shot of beating fraise than don, bkg almost seems like a sac in next slot but it's a smart move
Inh: Don Vascus vs BlackKnight_Gawain better shot than temp though given his performance this tour
MNM: PociekMociek vs Icemaster other game of the week imo, heart says pocmoc bc he won the previous h2h but i'm more impressed with ice's wins
PIC: HiZo vs DeepFriedMagikarp will be a fun game, imo hizo can think a bit better out of the box to grab the win
STAB: xdRudi.exe vs Fc leaning rudi from his impressive momentum, but can't underestimate xavgb playoff support lock-in
BO3: SammyCe123 vs xavgb bo3 pool is insane and i think it wouldve been a miracle for sammy to live up to his hype
