Hello everyone! We are pleased to announce that manager signups for UUPL XIII are now open. If you would like to sign up, please read the following rules. Keep in mind that there are two forms of signups: those for returning managers, and those for people who want to be new managers.
If you are a returning manager, make sure to identify the team which you are reclaiming by the letter assigned to it. Returning managers will be given priority to reclaim their existing teams, but they may not take over a team that was not previously theirs.

Manager name:
Co-manager name (if applicable):
Team name:
Returning manager:
Previous team:

example:

Manager name: vivalospride
Co-manager name (if applicable): Araquanid
Team name: Friend Safari Pokemon Trainers
Returning manager: yes
Previous team: B
For new managers, the returning managers have priority to claim their previous teams, so when choosing a team to take over, try to choose one that will not be taken. Below are the list of teams, their assigned letter, and list of retains:
Manager name:
Co-manager name (if applicable):
Team name:
Team preference 1:
Team preference 2:

example:

Manager name: pikachu fan 48
Co-manager name (if applicable):
Team name: Sky Pillar Sightseers
Team preference 1: D
Team preference 2: A

note: life is cruel and you may not be guaranteed your first or even second choice!
Team A: Moomoo Farm Mysterious Sisters
Team B: Friend Safari Pokemon Trainers
Team C: Celestial Tower Tycoons
Team D: Mikan Island Monsters
Team E: Camphrier Town Ladies
Team F: Safari Zone Smashers
Team G: Iki Town Idols
Team H: Sinjoh Ruin Strikers

Standings / Prices from UUPL XII

If you would like to self-purchase as a manager, you may do so. The cost will use the following formula:

(Price last UUPL you played in or 10,000, whichever is higher + (10,000 + (# of wins last UUPL you played in * 1500))) / 2 , rounded up to the nearest .500.

So for example, if I were to do this and I had 1 win in the previous year, my price would be as follows:
(10,000 + (10,000 + (1 * 1500))) / 2 = 10750, rounded up to 11,000.

Note: Players who managed last year cannot be retained. However, they can self-buy if they choose to manage again.

If you would like to retain a player, the price to retain them will be the player's cost from the previous UUPL with an additional 3K cost. The minimum cost to retain a player is 10K credits. The following players, however, were retained in the previous UUPL, and the costs to retain them are as follows:


Moomoo Farm Mysterious Sisters
frankjosh - 22k
Luthier - 19k

Celestial Tower Tycoons
Lyssa - 24k
Real FV13 - 19k
passion - 17k

Camphrier Town Ladies
Attribute - 16k
DugZa - 16.5k

Mikan Island Monsters
London Beats - 16k

Friend Safari Pokemon Trainers
N/A

Safari Zone Smashers
KSt3ve - 18.5k
Killintime - 16.5k

Iki Town Idols
Xrn - 16k

Sinjoh Ruin Strikers
Amukamara - 31k
Here are the proposed tiers for UUPL XIII.
Code:
SV UU
SV UU
SV UU
SS UU
SM UU
ORAS UU
BW UU
DPP UU
ADV UU
GSC UU

If you'd like to see a change to the format please post in the NOWHERE
The manager selection process is, for the most part, subjective. However, users who have shown strong involvement in UU and have no active or recent punishments will be favored over users who meet neither of these conditions.

Manager signups will remain up for approximately one week. Yes, you can have co-managers.

ONLY ONE MANAGER CAN SELF-BUY PER TEAM

Looking to potentially rebrand and take over a different team than in the past, but we will take what we can get.

Your Accomplishments: Since I began managing Smogon tournaments in March 2023, I’ve had the honor of leading Team France in the NU World Cup. I claimed victory in NFE PL 2024, reached the finals of Español PL 2023 before securing the title in 2024, and just one week ago, I won the Italian PL (Teamballo).

Beyond that, I’ve also managed tournaments such as BSS PL, HPL, PTPL, and UMPL.

Alongside my boy Dunoks, we’ve co-managed in the UU tier three times, leading teams in UUSD, UUWC 2023 for France, and UUFPL 2023, where we claimed the championship.

Now, we are just waiting for the next story to write.

UUPL always held a special place in my heart. It was the first team tour I've ever been picked for, and I have great memories of the three editions I've participated in. I have some experience as a manager. I had the opportunity to manage tours such as UUFPL, UUWC and BSSWC. Ryuji is also an experienced manager, a rare 3 times NDPL winner. He led his team to victory during the last NDPL. He displayed key skills to a manager such as communication, implication and creating an enjoyable and funny mood for his players. He will help me with any shortcomings I may encounter during my captaincy, and we think our duo can be a great pair for this tournament.
 
Manager name: BigFatMantis
Co-manager name (if applicable): Crushy
Team name: TBD
Team preference 1: Give us the team that was the most disastrous and let us rebuild it to a legendary contender
Team preference 2: any

Crushy and I have been a part of the UU Community for a long time. We both know the entire playerbase extremely well, and my knowledge of SV and all oldgens 2-8 combined with Crushy's extremely good and fearless knowledge of SV + newer oldgens satisfies anything the team needs. We are also both UUPL Champions from last year's Friends.

We've also both been very successful managers before. My first drafting managerial experience was GSC PL IV where I won the whole tour, and then we won it all again in GSC PL V for back to back titles. I've also managed in ADV PL and captained various US West regional teams such as RoA Olympics and World Cup of Rands, where we made it to semifinals. Crushy meanwhile was captain of US West for last year's UUWC, where we took a US West team that came from two near last place finishes, then inherited a team without many of the mainstay players and brought that team all the way to the finals, a great UU comeback story. We are both extremely active in team prep across all tiers and help support everywhere to the maximum of our capabilities. Anyone that knows us knows that we put maximum effort in anything we do, and UUPL will be no different.
 
Manager name: Slikkles
Co-manager name (if applicable): Mindnight
Team name: Precipice Moles
Team preference 1: D
Team preference 2: F

Managing experience : Mind has managed a various number of french teams tours while I'm currently managing for RBEL (random battle extension league) wich had ~350 sign ups. Our team is currently 2nd while mind has had some success with his teams as well.

Why would we make good managers : Mind has been in the UU community for quite a while now meaning he knows the best and the raw diamonds of this tier. While my interest in UU only started this scl. I follow the uu tours as a spectator (from last years uupl, uufl to the soon to begin uu swiss so I know who are rising players in the past year notably. If we're taken, we'll be very invested in making a strong team with a good atmosphere.

Have a good day !
 
Manager name: SEROO
Co-manager name (if applicable): LBN
Team name: TBD
Team preference 1: G
Team preference 2: C

Me and LBN think we would make a great manager pair for various reasons. Firstly for myself I have played, won and managed in various tours where UU has been a played format including SSPL ( win ), ORASPL, SMPL, ADVPL ( finals managing ) , BLT, EPL, last years UUWC where i played and supported SM/ORAS and the currently ongoing ALTPL ( knowledge in gsc UU from last year too ) where I'm currently playing adv uu and have the top record of the pool. Out of UU ive managed quite a number of tours including ZUPL, retrocup, natdexwc x2, umpl and a couple others, making PO in 6/9 tours ive managed and finals in a couple. For LBN he's played in countless tours including UUFPL and won quite a few including rupl, ndwc, upl x2. And is currently top 3 in SS UU for grand slam.
Together we think we could make an amazing team environment with overall great manager support from the countless tours and UU formats we've managed and played in the past.

Manager name: haxlolo
Co-manager name (if applicable): jawabarat
Team name: BREXIT BIBARELS
Team preference 1: give us the second worst team we'll smash bfm
Team preference 2: any

We both have good UU knowledge and know the playerbase quite well, we know how much a positive and enjoyable atmosphere contributes to a good team from our playing and managing experience, and we're sure we can provide it.

As for managing experience, I've managed UUFPL and UUWC twice, reaching PlayOffs in three out of the four tours and finals in one of them (this year's UUWC), along EPL two times (Finals on both, winning one of them), and other more miscellaneous tours such as LJDA and RBEL currently. As for Jawa, he has managed the very prestigious BDSPPL, making it to the Semifinals. Do I have to say anything other than that?

Here we go again...

Manager name: ASKOV
Co-manager name (if applicable): Plague
Team preference 1: A
Team preference 2: H

I have been involved with UU tours for a long time by now, managing and playing pretty much every UU teamtour. Plague isn't as involved with UU, but they have some experience through different low tiers and was fairly involved with team Brazil's prep in UUWC as a sub, has been a pretty good support in their official teamtours (WCOP, SCL and currently SPL) and has some experience managing as well, reaching playoffs in PTPL and winning BDSPPL
