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 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 for the first manager and 16k for the second. The managers must inform the hosts (Rex, Zcarlett, zoe) 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 tiers for this year are Almost Any Ability, Balanced Hackmons, Camomons, Godly Gift, Mix and Mega, STABmons, Partners in Crime, and Best of Three (AAA / BH / 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 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. Players must use their gvoice SmogTours account (with limited exceptions), and replays cannot be unlisted or privated.
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: Lower Seed Picks 1, Higher Seed Picks 1 and Strikes 2, Lower Seed Strikes 2, Higher Seed Strikes 1. This will result in 5 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 managers of each team involved must play each other in a Bo1 Randbats Mayhem (bring 12 pick 6, adjustlevel = 100). 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!
