Welcome back to another year of VGCPL!! Super excited to be announcing our partnership with NPA, the prestigious and longest running VGC team tour around. With both playerbases combined we're hoping to bring you the absolute best VGC team tour action yet!
Once again we will be fighting for a custom avatar and Smogon banner!
Format will be 8 slots of VGC 2024 Regulation F
For some general rules:
- 10 teams to play in an 8v8 regular season, followed by a 7v7 playoffs stage featuring the top 4 teams
- 120k budget for a min of 11 players, max 15 players
- Bidding prices start at 3k
- Each team is comprised of up to 3 managers, none of which can self purchase. Managers are listed below!
- Trades for players can happen until the start of Week 1
- There will be no midseason draft
- No retains from previous NPA or VGC PL iterations
- Standings will follow a points system, 5 points for a win, 2 point for a tie, 0 for a loss. (Tiebreakers will be specified in Admin Thread later)
The default platform for games to be played is on the Pokemon Showdown, with the challenge Bo3 option with Open Team Sheets. If players both agree, matches can be played on cartridge, however full footage must be included. More details for featured stream matches on the way!
