Hello and welcome to PUPL X! We're looking for 8 managing duos this time around, eight pairs of two. Managers are expected to have past PUPL experience, managed in a Smogon team tournament before, and/or be a major contributor to PU. Managers are also expected to be active in their teamchat and respond quickly with substitutes or lineups. Additionally, keeping a team name from last year is highly encouraged, but not a requirement! To manage, please post the following in one post:
The budget for auction this year will be 130k and there will be a minimum of 3 substitutes required per team. Pricing for selfbuys will also be a little different this year and mirror the formula from RUPL, seen below (and you can play with a test sheet for pricing courtesy of DugZa):
Manager price = (M-1) * 0.5 * # of wins last PUPL + (P + 3) + 0.75 * # of wins last PUPL - 1 * # of losses last PUPL
M being the number of selfbuys performed by the team (1 or 2).
P being the price of said player in their last PUPL capped at 17. If they never played PUPL or if their price was lower than 10, it defaults to 10.
The result is rounded up.
Player retains will be the player's price last year + 3k, as is generally the standard.
A team may have a total of 3 players purchased prior to the draft between retains and/or manager selfbuys. Any feedback or opinions about the formula are also welcome in your signup posts.
Manager signups will close June 2nd and player signups will be posted then with the chosen managers.
