Rissoux outlined the reasoning for its removal here, while we want to support every format, it leads to PS! becoming incredibly bloated. The format builder that he mentioned is probably your best bet.

Thank you very much!
My round 2 opponent didn't answer me for scheduling, does that give me a win by default
Probably not the correct place to ask this but I'll answer here for clarity of other users who may be confused. If your opponent does not answer your attempts to schedule you should make an activity win request:
About Activity Decisions
Activity Decisions / Coin Flips: In the event that there is an uncompleted match at the deadline, and an extension has not been requested, it will be coin flipped unless one or both of the players involved in the match specifically request an activity win and explain sufficiently why they deserve to win over their opponent. Attempting to schedule a battle is required in order to receive the win by activity. To make it clear that you are requesting an activity win when you post, you must open your post with "Activity Win Request" in bold.
For example, if you believe your opponent is making an unfair request and that they don't deserve the activity win over you, you can either make your own request or quote their post and explain why they don't deserve it. You should try to make your activity win request posts at least 24 hours before the deadline to give your opponent a reasonable opportunity to contest it with their own activity win request.
Please note that all extension requests and activity claims must be posted to the thread, and that all of these will be judged on a case by case basis.

Hosts will do their best to sort through unplayed games, but it is ultimately up to you to make them aware if your opponent did not respond to scheduling. If you did not make an activity win request and the round has already concluded with new matchups posted, you have likely missed the window, and the game was already coin-flipped to decide a winner. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much, sry for asking here lol
Hello! Me and some of my friends have been conducting a casual draft league, but many of my friends are losing interest. I'm trying to figure out how to get plugged into online Pokemon draft leagues. To be honest, I'm not sure how to join a league. Any direction would be very much appreciated.
Hey! Love to see someone wanting to get into draft. If you want to get more involved in leagues I would recommend checking out the advertisement thread or joining the discord server (linked in this thread) to participate in tours!
Considering making a draft league for some ppl I know. Where might I find a tiering sheet I can get started with? For Nat Dex OU btw
NatDex tiers are available on the sample board found in this post: https://www.smogon.com/forums/threads/draft-league-resources.3716128/#post-9506878
