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.
it'll definitely be announced in the NU Forums, although there will be a new NU Subforum created when SM NU comes around, so watch out for that in Uncharted Territory Forums. Also, the NU Discord is where things like these get discussed and announced too so feel free to join
