Draft Leader
This thread serves as the central place regarding DLWC rules, administrative actions, and announcements. Please reach out to DLWC hosts or subforum staff if there are questions not answered by this post or any resources linked. The format for DLWC will be current gen (SV), and will feature teams of eight starting players and 4 substitutes (manager and co-manager are counted in the final total of 12 players; co-managers are not required). Qualifiers, as they are typically observed in WCoP will not exist in DLWC. Instead of qualifiers dictating which teams will enter the tournament, DLWC qualifiers will be held in battle pools, and accumulated points by each member of a team will combine and determine whether their team progresses to DLWC playoffs. Instead, the tournament will follow this rough series of events:
- Sunday 24 March: Manager and Player signups open.
- Sunday 31 March: Publicly release managers and teams. (Hosts will allow any country team that appears to have sufficient player eligibility to field a complete team)
- Sunday 7 April: Managers must submit a finalized roster of 8 players and 3-4 subs. (This is the time where smaller countries who may be on the verge of not fielding a complete team should communicate with each other to combine/rebrand as necessary)
- Monday 8 April - Sunday 14 April: Drafting week (draft creation; team internal which means each team will have one full draft board to create their 10 drafts with no overlapping Pokémon.)
- During qualifiers, players will have to pick one draft to use for the duration of their battle pools.
- During playoffs, players will be able to rotate which team they will use on a given week.
- Monday 15 April - 5 May: Battle pools
- Monday 6 May - 19 May: Playoffs
- Monday 20 May - Sunday 26 May: Championship
