We are now opening signups for the midseason auction! If you signed up originally but were not bought, here's your chance to be picked up by teams that have leftover credits from the original draft or need to replenish lost players. Please only post in this thread if you signed up originally. Players will sign up and a new free agent list will be made. Note: Even if you signed up the first time around, you must sign up again in order to participate in the Midseason Auction. We will NOT be accepting entries beyond the deadline.
The midseason auction will run parallel to Week 4 of the Smogon Exhibition.
All tournament guidelines not already covered by this post are available within the following thread.
The format required to sign up for the Smogon Exhibition II is as follows:
Again, please only sign up if you signed up for the original draft in this thread.
Please make sure that the tiers you list are included within the formats supported by this year's Smogon Exhibition:
SM Ubers
SM LC
SM PU
SM Monotype
Guidelines for Players:
- DO NOT sign up if you cannot commit to the rest of the season, which will potentially run from February until March. If you know in advance that you will be gone for a significant period of time (such as for exams, vacation, etc.) then PLEASE make note of it in your post so managers can plan accordingly.
- Plan to participate in your team's Discord channel. Speaking from experience, if managers know that you do not use Discord, you will have an extremely small chance of being picked.
- In order to ensure the best possible experience for yourself, the managers, and your team, please do NOT sign up for any tier you are unwilling to play. If you would not seriously consider playing that tier in a tournament environment, do not list it. The tiers you put down in your signup are not binding, but they will affect how your prospective manager sees you, and as such they should be as accurate to your skillset as possible. Don't make dumb joke posts about playing tiers you do not care for
- Signing up is making an agreement to play for whichever team drafts you. Do not break that agreement.

After sign-ups close, we will then have a thread auction similar to SPL midseason auctions with the amount of credits each team has left over from the original live auction as well as any credits gained from selling back players. (Remember, original auction credits are used prior to any sellback credits!)
Again, you are not eligible for the midseason auction if you did not sign up originally.
There is no use for credits leftover after the midseason free agent pickups, so it is in every manager's best interest to spend all of their remaining points at this time.
Deadline for signing up: Sunday January 27th, 8:59 PM EST
