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
The Pokémon Seasonal League (PSL) is entering its 13th season! PSL boasts 4 skill-based divisions based off the seasons that make us a great option for both veterans and newcomers alike. We will be playing with a twist, using Post-Home Paldea Dex Pokemon, but with full National Dex movesets, helping spice up the meta a bit and add more variety and flexibility. In addition, Terastalization will be allowed on a single mon per team, called a Tera Captain.

Outside of the main draft league, PSL has also developed an active community that we would love to welcome you to. S13 Applications will close at 11:59pm EST on June 2nd, with coach reveals happening the following weekend. For your application to be accepted we require that you are a member of the PSL Server.

League Description
The DGBA is back with our 17th season and our second venture into Generation 9! After a successful season 16, which saw us first experience the phenomenon of terastilisation, we are eager to bring you a BRAND NEW WAY of playing draft with tera!

We have created two draft boards: 1. with the traditional points score to draft 10-12 pokemon and 2. A separate draft board with points values for tera pokemon. I.e. each pokemon has been individually priced for if they are tera or non tera! Just like in season 15 we have extended our tierlist, in what we hope will more accurately represent the prices of pokemon in this limited Paldea dex! In addition to this, the league will be played in the Draft Preview tier!

As ever we're looking for a wide range of talents and personalities to join us on what we hope will be the biggest DGBA season yet. Here's some of the key notes if you're at all interested in joining us this season!

➺ Post Home Paldea Draft League
➺ Tera Preview + 2 Tera Users which are individually taxed
➺ Eight week season with 4 divisions with a wide range of skill levels/experience.
➺ Prize pool of over $300+ can earn points for the DL Circuit
➺ Various events and games nights including trivia!
➺ Apps close on the 10th June (might change depending on home).

Whether you're here to improve your skills, to enjoy playing Pokemon or just make new friends, we have you covered so make sure to sign up if you're interested!

League Description
Welcome back to this sixth Season of the La Claque Draft Leagues's OU circuit, first of the bunch in Generation 9! We are now rebranding, and looking for coaches, old and new, from all across the community, to discover the Post-HOME Paldea Dex metagame once it releases!

La Claque Draft League is a mixed association from both English and French speaking communities, which has been running for years now, on both our OU and B.O.U (Custom Format of the community) circuits. This OU season will be played in Teams of 3 Ghosting Tour, meaning that you only get one Draft for all three members, and can build and play for your games all together. This also means that you'll have to enter this tournament as a team from the get go.

This season will be our first to feature battle pools, as we now have sufficient number every season to ensure reliable hosting of those! So, don't hesitate to come and join us, to help us grow bigger as a community, and allow us to host even larger events, by filling up this application!

Applications will be open until the 4th of June, which will lead to the reveal of teams and coaches. If you have any questions, reach out to RoiDadadou#0009 on Discord!

Speaking English is required, and mandatory!
