You've been waiting for it, it's finally time for SPL manager signups!

The hosts this year are UT, goldmason, Ticken, Excal, and shiloh. Only post in this thread if you would like to signup to manage, any other kind of posts will be deleted and your posting access in Tournament Policy may be revoked. Everyone (past, assistant, and new managers alike) is required to sign up if you wish to manage, no exceptions. Managing teams of up to 3 members are allowed to sign up. Auction will be scheduled for weekend of the 3rd-4th of January and Week 1 will start on January 11th.

This year there will not be any sort of rebranding. No team will change names and we will provide the logos. The 10 available franchises are: Dragonspiral Tyrants, Wi-fi Wolfpack, Alpha Ruiners, Cryonicles, Team Raiders, Congregation of the Classiest, Circus Maximus Tigers, Stark Sharks, Indie Scooters, and Ever Grande BIGS.

This year's format is:
  • SV OU

  • SS OU
  • SM OU
  • ORAS OU
  • BW OU
  • DPP OU
  • ADV OU
  • GSC OU
  • RBY OU (Bo3)
Manager signups will close December 14th, but may close earlier after a 24-hour notice period. The hosts will announce the selected managers and open player signups shortly afterwards.

signing up with Django and LORD SAGIS

Django is a veteran who has played many tournaments dating back 10+ years, as a player he has participated in SPL, SCL, WCOP, NUPL and ROAPL. As a manager he has revitalised UKs low tier scene, reaching the semis in RUWC and LTWC with a group that previously had no success.

Sagis has represented Team UK as a manager in RCOP for 4 years, including one run that he helped his team reach the finals in 2024 and he has also managed in NDWC 2 times. Sagis has dabbled in old gen ous from the last few years and having a decent Smogon Masters Run in 2023.

As for myself, I have 4 years of experience managing Team UK for WCOP and I've managed in several different tournaments including BLT, ROAPL and ADVPL.

We would love to have a go at managing the Bigs, All 3 of us are ready and very motivated to manage.

I am searching for 1-2 people who would like to be my assistant managers for this SPL.

Particularly, I am searching for individuals who are less motivated to manage because of the draft (although your input will certainly be valued) but more so by the preparation and comradery aspects of this tournament.

Bonus points if you have a different timezone than me (-5) and/or have a strong knowledge of SV OU.

For those unfamiliar with me; I managed the Tigers two years ago where we fell in the finals. I managed the Leviathans in SCL/SSD an era ago, winning that tournament once and making the semifinals the other. I also managed team Canada in WCoP for several years.

Please reach out to me here, or on discord (genesis7), if interested.
