Manager signups will be similar to last year with 1 retain per team and the option for managers to buy themselves (10k+ 1.5k per win last RUSD), so be sure to read the OP closely before signing up. There are going to be two different type of manager signups, one for returning managers and for prospective new managers. You are required to follow the formats exactly as outlined below to be considered.

Your team name must be appropriate and have a Pokemon name in it. If you are a returning manager, make sure to identify the team which you are reclaiming by the letter assigned to it. Returning managers will be given priority to reclaim their existing teams, but they may not take over a team that was not previously theirs. For new managers, the returning managers have priority to claim their previous teams, so when choosing a team to take over, try to choose one that will not be taken. Also, the team you claim will determine the retains you have access to, so it’s imperative that you look over the teams carefully when making your decision. Below are the list of teams, their assigned letter, and list of retains:

List of players that are retainable per team:

List of teams from past rupl:
  • Team A: Ghosting Silvallys
  • Team B: Snob Frogs
  • Team C: Flapple Force
  • Team D: Emblematic Escavaliers
  • Team E: Weed Smoking Whimsicotts
  • Team F: Loud Explouds
  • Team G: Rillaboomers
  • Team H: Voracious Vileplumes
Manager name:
Team name:
Returning manager:
Previous team: (identify by letter assigned)

example:

Manager name: phantom
Team name: Voracious Vileplumes
Returning manager: yes
Previous team: B

Manager name:
Team name:
Team preference 1:
Team preference 2:

example:

Manager name: phantom
Team name: Woke Weedle
Team preference 1: B
Team preference 2: A

note: you may not be guaranteed your first or even second choice


As for how managers will be selected, the process is mostly subjective, but I will be favoring more established members of the RU community for a managerial position. There are also a few hard requirements that need to be met by every manager that I will list below for the sake of transparency.

In order to be considered as a prospective manager, players must:

  • Be in good standing (no active or recent infractions/bans on Discord/PS/Forums)
  • Not be tournament or circuit banned
  • Show some involvement in RU (either via strong forum/discord/ps activity or participation in multiple RU tours)
That’s it. If for some reason you signup but do not meet, at the very least, the first two requirements, then your post will be removed. Depending on turnout, exceptions to the last rule may be made. Do not post in this thread unless you’re signing up to manage. Any troll/shit posts will be deleted and infracted.

Lets get to it then!

Some really amazing selections, and was pretty tough to have to leave someone behind (majorly painful) but these are the 8 teams selected directly by Kableye after some discussion with no sort of cohersion or anything:

Noble Noiverns: Sensei Axew
Mighty Mudsdales: Ajna
Xmas Xurkitrees: EviGaro
The Deranged Hustlers: Alpha Rabbit
The Bebo's back! Barbaracles: Bebo
Dabbing Dadas: Averardo
Greedy Glastriers: MrAldo
Sleepy Snorlaxes: gorex

Final format will be decided by the amount of signups for the specific BW RU, to gauge interest, and to see if it would be possible to load competent games for this tier. If there are enough BW RU signups, format will be: 4 SS / 1 SM / 1 ORAS / 1 BW / 1 BO3

Not enough BW RU quality signups: 4 SS / 2 SM / 1 ORAS / 1 BO3

With that being said, take it away Kableye for the player signups which will come up shortly!

Edit for which team will retain who:

If a manager was managing on previous RUPL the team they managed will be their retain pool:

EviGaro will retain from Ghosting Silvallys
Ajna didnt really manage but was part of the flapple force and lets be real, HE was managing and not Feli so he will be able to retain from Flapple Force
Averardo will retain from Voracious Vileplumes
MrAldo will be retain from the Emblematic Escavaliers
Gorex will retail from the Rillaboomers

DELETED. Bebo got permission from termi to go ahead and make use of the Weed Smoking Whimsicotts retain list. Bebo will be assigned the Weed Smoking Whimsicotts, Alpha Rabbit Snob Frogs, and Sensei Axew the Loud Explouds.
