UUFPL is set up as an auction based team tournament, nearly identical to UUPL, except it gives some lesser known talents of the UU Community a chance to be selected as part of this experience. While nobody is restricted from joining, the goal is to open up the community to a team tour where more members can participate, joining vets and rookies in a unique experience unlike any other!
If you are interested in signing up to be a manager, post here using the following format:
Code:
Manager Name:
Co-Manager:
Returning Manager: y/n
Team Preference:
Second Choice:
Will you or your co self-retain: Yes/No/Maybe
Three favorite numbers between 1 and 12: 1, 10, 12
Example:
Manager Name: Dave
Co-Manager: @Larry
Returning Manager: Yes
Team Preference: D
Second Choice: F
Will you or your co self-retain: Maybe
Three favorite numbers between 1 and 12: 1, 10, 12Here are the teams:
Team A: Blipbug City Battlegirls
Team B: Flapple Bottom Jeans
Team C: Silicobra Kai
Team D: Diancie is Unbreakable
Team E: Gilderoy Lokix
Team F: Black Ops Spidops
Team G: Azelf on the Shelf
Team H: The Three Flamigos
(must sign up with 3 total managers)THERE WILL BE NO REBRANDING ALLOWED THIS YEAR
Even though these are all returning teams, there are no player retains allowed (though managers can obviously self-retain).
You are REQUIRED to have a co-manager, though you can edit it in later. No matter how great you are by yourself, UUFPL is very serious business and you need a co-manager to help you. Manager selections are, of course, subjective, and some people will not get a team. If you don't get a team, it's probably because you either didn't deserve it, you aren't a good manager or person, we simply don't like you, or the whole world is against you. However please don't be upset, and we urge you to participate as a player anyways if that happens.
Only one of you or your co-manager can self-retain. Prices for self-retains will be listed later in this thread if you can get to the bottom before closing it.
Some basic rules:
- Current managers (or co-managers) in UUPL are not allowed to manage in UUFPL
- Current managers in UUPL can, however, sign up as players in UUFPL
- Nobody is prevented from signing up for UUFPL and we encourage all rookies and vets alike to partake. However:
- Players already in UUPL cannot play/sign up for SV UU for UUFPL.
- Additionally, players in UUPL cannot play a tier in UUFPL for which they have played at least one game for in UUPL by close of UUPL Week 3 (UUPL Weeks 4+ do not matter for this).
- There is one exception to these restrictions with regard to the 3rd SV slot (more information below)
Speaking of tiers, here are the tiers for UUFPL:
FORMATS/TIERS:
- SV UU
- SV UU

Please note that all other standard RBY UU rules apply (i.e. partial trapping moves are, for the moment, still legal). Despite the sprite above, Smeargle is not unbanned in RBY UU.
