Week 1: Manager Signups
Week 4-X
- Post Manager Signups
- Coordinate with mods to decide who is selecting managers
- Speak with a Community Leader to create a form for player signups - please do this as it is essential for all other steps
- Post
- Player Signups
- Admin Decisions
- Commencement
- Add all managers to the discord, assign manager role
- Set up a when2meet for the auction
- Check in end of week 2/week 3 to decide an auction time
- Sort out retain pools if any, as well as selfbuys
- Have your chosen CL from earlier also make a Player Signup sheet
- Create team roles
- Create team DMs on Smogon for lineups as well as all selfbuy/retain information. Make sure to include managers for each team and all hosts
- Roll Auction order
- Start building the auction. I like to have this as a textblock just in case of fuckery, keep it updated for retains/selfbuys
- Post Matchup Schedule for the tour shortly after the auction
- Reserve a room with PS! Admins for the auction
Week 4-X
- Run the tour. Weekly duties include:
- Updating the OP periodically
- Updating the replay thread periodically
- Updating Usage at the end of the week
- Optional: Pinging managers for lineups (I like to do this Sunday afternoon)
- Preparing the OP for the following week
- Also answer any questions about Activity or substitutions as needed.
- Have a spreadsheet made
