Hello and welcome to PUPL XI! 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 format for PUPL XI will mirror that of PUPL X:
Manager signups will close May 18th and player signups will be posted then with the chosen managers.

Standings / Prices from PUPL X
A team may have a total of 3 players purchased prior to the draft between retains and/or manager selfbuys.
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 use a formula similar to last year (and you can play with a test sheet for pricing):
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.
Note: Players who managed last year cannot be retained. However, they can self-buy if they choose to manage again.
If you would like to retain a player, the price to retain them will be the player's cost from the previous PUPL with an additional 3K cost. The minimum cost to retain a player is 10K credits. The following players, however, were retained in the previous PUPL, and the costs to retain them again are as follows:
Haunter x Haunter
MZ - 22.5k
m.A.A.d. City Magmortars
Dj Breloominati♬ - 25k
Malignant Chain Snatchers
N/A
Goofy Goober Goodras
EviGaro - 19k
Pokestar Pranksters
N/A
SCREAM QUEEN LOORS
