Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
This year we're running the prediction tournament through Google Forms as to not clog up the thread too much. For each match you predict correctly, you will get 1 point. Correct preseason predictions count for 3 points. Semifinals and finals predictions will count for 2 points each. Predictions made after a respective match were played will be voided; the other predictions on that ballot will still be valid.
'Best record' means player with most wins in the regular season. If multiple players tie for most wins, all those players will count as a correct answer.
Longform predictions in this thread are appreciated!
WEEK 1 FORM there's no deadline, but votes coming in after completed matches will void those matches
The very kind smudgerox has offered one month of Discord Nitro Basic for the Prediction Tournament winner! Make sure to get your votes in soon because tomorrow we'll have the first DPL games!

- SV: JRL
- DUU: Actuarily, AIRedzone
- SS: Shadowmonstr7, Animus
