Resource Draft League Advertisement Thread

[Rissoux]

Welcome to the Smogon Draft Leagues advertisement thread! As you may know, there won't be a Discord plug channel made on the Smogon Draft Leagues server, as this thread is the alternative. This will provide a hub for individual league advertising, where draft users and Smogon users can access and integrate with the community in the same way, hopefully leading to more growth from both sides!

To submit an advertisement, please click on this form and answer all the questions.

Once you have submitted, your post will be awaiting moderator approval. Once the mod team approves your league, it will be visible in this thread.

We are only acceptive advertisements of leagues currently in the signup stage. If your league's season hasn't started yet, please wait to apply until signups are available. When applying, ensure that all necessary dates and league pre-requisites are clearly described. The league description should also contain some basic information such as what the league and format is. As this is a Smogon forum, please try to enforce that Smogon banned users are not present in leagues.

League Description
Are you an experienced player looking for something different in the draft scene? One of the best things about draft is getting to see forgotten low tier mons fulfill unexpected niches, get unexpected kills and contribute despite their PU pedigree. We at the WELP (Worldwide Egalitarian League of Pokemon) thought, why not take it a step further?

We're an Ubers, Tiers, Low Tier-Free Tera Natdex league, but we're also bringing back Z-Moves!! And with the new Godslayer Points alternate standings condition, you're never out of the playoff race. F, or G-Tier kills on Ubers are also tracked in our *GODSLAYER PANTHEON* for posterity. With free Tera and Z on every G-Tier, we think we'll be seeing a few entries!

The current target draft date is **SATURDAY, APRIL 27TH** and we'll need 14 coaches by then, so get in early, and come help us shake up the meta and kill some goliaths! https://discord.com/invite/ZYbeqqVrDv

League Description
The Grand Line (TGL) welcomes players of all skill levels to come aboard and bring along all their hopes and dreams to compete in and experience a unique and exciting high stakes playstyle!

TGL is an invitational VGC draft league where the main format is VGC auction draft.
In season 3, we will have two skill based divisions which will be Gen 9 National Dex VGC auction (with the possibility of a third division depending on the volume of apps).
We will be playing exclusively on Pokémon Showdown.

What is auction draft you may ask?

Auction draft differs from standard draft where players select Pokémon from alphabetical tiers or numerical tiers to fit within their point budget. In auction draft, there are no such restrictions except how much you are willing to bid on the Pokémon you want!

If you wish to test your might in The Grand Line, submit a player application through the form linked above!

Tentative player apps deadline is 18/5/2024 at 23:59 BST

If you have any questions regarding The Grand Line or your application, feel free to dm rausakura on discord or send a message to RauVGC on smogon.

League Description
Welcome to the first Draft League of SIBB (Super Italian Bros Brawl) a custom format created by the Italian room on Pokémon Showdown; in this format, back in January users could submit their own custom sets, which, after getting reviewed by our staff, could be added to the pool of available Pokémon to build teams and play in room tournaments.
Now, we're bringing back this format in the form of a Draft League, with the 'mons from last edition being assigned a price between 20 and 5 credits based on their power. Tera is banned.
Managers can sign up alone or in couples and have 100 credits to draft between 8 and 10 Pokémon.
This is a different approach to draft league as the Pokémon's sets are already predetermined and cannot be changed; it can be a good way to be introduced to draft league as a new player or to have a different, low-effort experience from the usual draft league as a veteran player.
We hope to see you joining us!
