Tournaments Rules and General Guidelines
RBYPL VII Commencement Thread (coming soon!)
Spreadsheet (coming soon!)
Schedule Sheet (coming soon!)​
In this thread, you can sign up to manage in RBYPL VII.

We are aiming for 8 teams and 10 slots, but reserve the right to downscale the tournament to 6 teams and 8 slots if we find the signup quality/quantity to be lackluster. We DO NOT want to do this and are hoping to see the community turn up!

Guaranteed Slots:

  • RBY OU (Best of 5)
  • RBY OU (Best of 3) x3
  • RBY Ubers
  • RBY UU
  • RBY NU
  • RBY Random Battles (Best of 7)
Slots 9 and 10:

  • RBY OU (Best of 3)
  • RBY PU
Here is the signup format. We encourage potential managers to put some thought into this section, unless you trust your standing with the community and managerial experience to make a good argument by itself.

Code: 
Manager:
Assistant Manager:
Team Name:
Requested Retain Pool:
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?:

Reminders:

  • You must sign up with an Assistant Manager, to a total of 2 managers.
  • You are allowed up to 2 manager self-buys total. You must let us know before Player Signups close.
    • Teams may either self-buy one manager for 20k or both managers for 40k total. One manager self-buy will be discounted to 15k if the manager locks out of OU, totalling 35k in the event of 2 total manager selfbuys.
    • Managers may also retain players from a retain pool assigned to them, which they can be granted after their request. There will be a limit of 3 selfbuys per team. For example, 1 manager selfbuy and 2 player retains or 2 manager selfbuys and 1 retain. Retained players will be tierlocked into the tiers they played in RBYPL VI.
  • Deadline: September 21, 2026 at 10:59 PM
Good luck!
 
Manager: Ctown6
Assistant Manager: Wanted in 49 States
Team Name: Deadbeat Dugtrios (logo soon)
Requested Retain Pool: Tier Solving Tangelas
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I’ve only ever managed here in PL once and I was a bit disappointed with my effort, (bad timing, personal issues, etc.) I’m probably as hyped about mons as I’ve ever been and really want to have a year full effort. I’ve been around for years in ou and lowers, Wanted managed the Tangela’s last year and is a low tier legend and former grand slam champion.

Manager: Sussaix
Assistant Manager: PHB11677
Team Name: Mt. Moon Machamps
Requested Retain Pool: Washed Wartortles
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: Sussaix was the manager for the Gliscor Nightwings in BDSPPL V, which reached the semifinals, is currently managing teams in BWPL VI, MCL I, and BSSCL II and is a captain for Brasil in DPPWC. I've never managed before, but I’ve been active in the RBY community (especially lower tiers) for the past year and a half. I started all but one week in last year’s RBYPL, I won RBY PU Cup 2026, and I’ve had success in other team tours with RBY tiers, such as ALTPL, ZUCL, and PUFFL.

Assistant Manager: Ulti Bastion
Team Name: Indigo Illusion :alakazam:
Requested Retain Pool: Indigo Illusion
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I will be returning to manage the Indigo Illusions alongside Ulti. Between us, we have plenty of experience and success at the highest level. I won RBYWC last year while managing, aswell as winning RBYOMPL this year while managing. Ulti has won both ROAPL and the most recent RBYPL. We are also two highly active members of the RBY community, participating in virtually every RBY circuit tournament throughout the year, giving us a strong understanding of the playerbase and competitive landscape. We know what it takes to compete at a high level, draft a winning team, and deliver results, and we are fully motivated to bring the Indigo Illusions as much success as possible this season.

Manager: Toxinalpaca
Assistant Manager: Premonitions
Team Name: Zaza Zapdos
Requested Retain Pool: Indigo Illusion
Why should the Hosting Team pick you?: I have a bunch of success in rby team tours as a manager, making playoffs in roapl two times and winning one. I have also made playoffs in rcop and got the 1st seed, showing my prowess and support. Outside of those I’ve made finals of sspl twice, 1st seed in ndpl, and more. I can draft a winning team and I create a good winning environment. I should be picked because I have a bunch of success in gsc related team tours and I can contribute to a winning culture. Pemonitions has participated in rbypl for the last 2 years and regularly plays rby tiers. He’s placed top 16 in the rby cup, won the rby Ubers single elimination tour apart of Ubers circuit on top of being a 2x finalist for the rby Ubers open apart of the rby grand slam. He’s also frequently manage World Cup tours for the midwest. I’m—he’s very familiar with the player base and typically the most active person in a given team cord.

Manager: NotVeryCake
Assistant Manager: spies
Team Name: Washed Wartortles
Requested Retain Pool: Washed Wartortles
Me and spies have been with the Wartortles since it's inception, we've worked with Sceptross, Nicole and Kaz extensively in the planning, logistics and engagement of the team in past editions. Me and spies are taking on the mantle to lead this team in our friends absence to continue their legacy of giving enthusiastic and willing players a space to enjoy the game for the love of it. I wasn't initially planning to manage and continue the Tortles, but I realised that if there no Tortles, it really would be the end of RBYPL for me in its liveliness and energy.
