Rules
  • Follow all rules listed here.
  • Schedule via Smogon VMs. It's easier for me to make decisions for activity calls when I can actually see what went down with scheduling.
  • If you are unable to schedule with your opponent, please let your managers know ASAP so they can communicate that to me or the other team's managers for a potential substitute.
  • Substitutions may be made after a week has started. When making a substitution, please tag myself, the managers of the opposing team, and all of the players affected by the substitute to ensure that everyone is made aware. Players who have already played in the week or were subbed out in the same week cannot be subbed back in.
  • If a match remains incomplete by the time of the deadline, it will be subject to an activity call.
  • Post replays. Not only are they useful for confirming wins, they contribute to usage stats and allow the people who couldn't watch the games live to watch them later.
  • Managers: Please send me your lineups in the same format that I used to post pairings. It makes it much easier to post future rounds more quickly.

Predicts with little to no context

US Northeast (4) vs (3) US West
SS PU: Excal vs EVIL z0mOG (two good players I don't really want to pick between but giving Excal slight edge like 51/49)
SS PU: Star vs lax (two good players I've played with before, don't want to pick)
SS PU: sensei axew vs maki
SS PU: jonfilch vs Meru
SM PU: robjr vs LordST (GOAT)
ORAS PU: Vulpix03 vs 2xTheTap (also GOAT)
BW PU: Tack vs TJ (coming off a hot Smogon Tour win, I don't see him stopping now. sorry Tack, ily)
DPP PU: Finchinator vs shiloh

Brazil (3) vs (4) US South
SS PU: Beraldinho vs Danny
SS PU: Ninja vs Floss
SS PU: Thiago Nunes vs TeamCharm (another close one imo, 49/51)
SS PU: Meminger21 vs SiceXV
SM PU: mncmt vs MZ (big fan of both, but I believe in MZ)
ORAS PU: Spl4sh vs crying
BW PU: LpZ vs Ox the Fox
DPP PU: HANTSUKI vs Felines (U Thought I Was Feline You?)
 
US Northeast (4) vs (4) US West
SS PU: Excal vs EVIL z0mOG - cool mu but z0m is probably stronger

SS PU: jonfilch vs Meru - jon is also really good
SM PU: robjr vs LordST - rob is great but lst can't lose in sm
ORAS PU: Vulpix03 vs 2xTheTap - pix the stronger player
BW PU: Tack vs TJ - tj the stronger player
DPP PU: Finchinator vs shiloh - idk dpp but finch is 4-1 so probably the safest pick

Brazil (4) vs (4) US South
SS PU: Beraldinho vs Danny - better record and probably a stronger player
SS PU: Ninja vs Floss - floss has struggled with ss pu so far
SS PU: Thiago Nunes vs TeamCharm - thiago doing really well
