Preferred Retain Pool (Optional):
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:
  • You are allowed up to 3 manager self-buys and retains total.
  • This is the cost it will take to retain the player.
  • Retains can be refused. Make sure you confirm with the player they want to be retained before letting me know!
  • If you were a manager / assistant manager last year, you will likely get that Retain Pool.
  • If you were a player last year and a manager / assistant manager this year, you will likely get that Retain Pool.
  • For all new managers, you may request which team you would like retains from. If you are the only ones to request that team, you will get it. If multiple claim a single batch of retains, I will randomly pick on Pokemon Showdown! to decide. Please request retain pools in order.
Reminders:
  • You must sign up with an Assistant Manager.
  • You are allowed up to 3 manager self-buys and retains total. You must let me know before Player Signups close.
    • Teams may either self-buy one manager for 15k or both managers for 20k each.
  • Deadline: Sunday September 15th 9:00 PM GMT-4.
Good Luck!
 
Manager: BeeOrSomething
Assistant Manager: 第二十五夜
Team Name: Pampu Primeapes
Preferred Retain Pool (Optional): Primeapes
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I was a player last year for the primeapes. JVG was a captain last year. JVG helped cultivate several people (including myself) to become better players and in general carried team prep. I captained a GSCPL team and an ALTPL team to playoffs. Our team cord from last year has also long remained active following the tour's conclusion, with multiple members (including myself) still posting in there to this day. We look to create a great environment for getting better at the game and just having a lot of fun and we hope to achieve great success this time around.
 
Manager: Sabelette
Assistant Manager: Teh
Team Name: Glacial Articunos
Preferred Retain Pool (Optional): Cunos
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I made my managerial debut last year managing this team alongside Frrf and we won the tour convincingly, Teh was also on that team and has managed other tours like taking Torchics in ALTPL II to finals

Manager: YBW
Assistant Manager: oakdeon
Team Name: Mighty Magmars
Preferred Retain Pool (Optional): N/A we are looking to build a new exciting roster, come be our Puskas!
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:
We both have years of experience leading and developing several RBY communities in OU and Rands. Oak has multiple past managerial experiences including managing France to the playoffs in top spot in RBYWC this year. I managed UK + Ireland to the RBYWC playoffs in our debut year and participate in every circuit from OU, LT and Rands so I know the playerbase extremely well.
We believe we will make a successful managerial partnership
 
Manager: -Howkings
Assistant Manager: Kenix
Team Name: Carapinga Caterpies (new franchise)
Preferred Retain Pool (Optional): Ding Dang Dewgongs from RBYPL IV if available; otherwise any retain pool will do!
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:

Serious signup obviously. Please, excuse my friend Carapinga, as he was just too excited about taking part in this tournament.

I am a returning RBYPL Manager, having achieved qualification to the second stage of the tournament, last year with Dewgongs. I guess you could call it playoffs, although it was an experimental format. Managing is also the main activity I've been doing on Smogon for a long time, so I'm here with a lot of experience and my fair share of good and great results. I'm also familiar with RBY as a whole and its community, as I've worked with all of those player pools before. I am up to date in terms of knowledge and will definitely keep studying them in preparation for the auction, just as I already did last year, to a successful draft and a positive team environment.

My Assistant will probably not need an introduction: he is a well-known community member and very successful RBY OU player. He will be helping me in every phase of the tournament, having faced a good bunch of the community multiple times, as well as being able to support the majority of the slots in terms of preparation. He, just like me, is motivated to do so and committed to having a great tournament! :heart:

Preferred Retain Pool (Optional): Ding Dang Dewgons from RBYPL IV
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I've been part of this team for the last three editions, with a Finals appearance, a Win and a qualification to second stage under my belt. This year I will not play and can focus my attention to managing, scouting and prepping.

My Assistant manager is a well known figure in the Ubers community, and was part of the squad last year.

We are very motivated to manage and are hungry to improve on last year results

Manager: Sceptross
Assistant Manager: nicole7735
Team Name: Washed Wartortles
Preferred Retain Pool (optional): Washed Wartortles
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:

Me and Kaz managed the Wartortles last year, subscribing to a unique ethos, perfectly aligned to what we believe should be the goal of RBYPL - helping new people get into OU, and push lower tier development, leveraging our expertise as established players of the gen to achieve that. That ethos procured great results, and we will be running it back this year.

With Kaz deciding to retire from managerial duties, it only made sense to have Nicole do this with me - I don't think I really need to go much in-depth when it comes to the synergy between us two and the extent to which we are able to work together, that's more than old news already to everyone at this point.

Despite not having very long competitive careers - 2 years for Nicole, 2 years and a half for myself across my two stints if we exclude the yearly appearances for RBY Invitational - we have firmly cemented ourselves as established players, with many achievements to back up that statement. We also have both the motivation and in-depth low tier knowledge/playing ability to together make our part in assuring the goal of the tournament is accomplished.
