If you wish to play in the Smogon Champions League, you must sign up in this thread using the form linked below. The Smogon Champions League is an 11 week event at minimum, and has the potential to stretch on a bit further depending on tiebreak situations. Only sign up if you can be active for the majority of this time, as a high level of activity is expected. This includes several things, such as communicating with your team and getting your games done, and maintaining a competitive attitude even after your team has already been eliminated. It is in your own best interest to show off your best side. For general guidelines on what to do and what not to do, refer to Luigi's guidelines here.
A reminder of rulings relevant to player signups that hold true for this year:
- Players may not be traded at any point
- Midseason signups are restricted to people that signed up for the original auction.
- There will be a severe penalty for any team that picks up a known alt of a banned player, or any player masquerading as another person to lower their cost in the auction. This has not been a big issue in the past, but it is important to establish that both parties will be penalized immediately and harshly if they are found doing so.

If you are interested in playing, be aware that any team may buy you, and you are expected to play for any one of them.
Tiers NOT Played: This list is binding for the duration of the regular season. You cannot play in any tier(s) that you put in this list for the entire regular season, including substitutions. You'll be exempt from this once playoffs begin.
Tiers Played: This is a non-binding field that you can use to communicate your preferences to all managers. Do note that you're expected to play any tier that your manager asks of you and is not in your "Tiers NOT Played" list, even if that tier is not in your "Tiers Played" list.
To be crystal clear: "Tiers NOT Played" will bind you from playing in those tiers, and you should use it only if you do not intend to play that tier under any circumstance for the entire regular season. "Tiers Played" is a non-binding field that you can use to communicate your preferences to all managers.
You are generally expected to participate in your team's Discord. While we understand that activity levels may vary, this is the core portion of SCL, and what makes it fun. Your team's Discord server is where your team will hang out, discuss strategies and just have fun without worrying about the game. This is where teams come together (or fall apart), and likely the most integral part to the entire tournament.
To sign up for SCL IV, fill out this form: CLOSED
Signups will remain open until 48 hours before the auction's set time.
For everything else, refer to the Commencement Thread. Have a great season, everyone!
