Welcome to the LC Draft League. This league, which is co-hosted by MeButYou82 and myself, will be played by 12 teams of 2 people. These teams will first have to draft a team of 10 Pokemon, using the following system:
  • Each team has 1000 points.
  • The order of draft will be done in a randomized snake format. What this means is that we will randomize the order for the first round. Then, during the second round, the order will be reversed, meaning whichever team was first in the initial round is now last. This will continue, so in the third round, the order will be the same as it was in the first round.
  • Each Pokemon that is drafted costs points that correspond to their spot in the viability rankings:
o S -> 200
o A+ -> 180
o A -> 160
o A- -> 140
o B+ -> 120
o B/B- -> 100
o C+ -> 80
o C -> 60
o C- -> 40
o Unranked/Smogfrog -> 20
> Note that all of Pumpkaboo's formes will be combined together and count as a single Pokemon that will be considered A rank.​
  • You may not draft Pokemon that a different team has drafted before you.
Once every team has 10 Pokemon, the tournament will start. It will be a Double Elimination Tournament. Each round, all teams choose 6 out of their 10 Pokemon to use in the battle and build a team with them. The teams then choose one of their two players to play a Bo1 match against the opposing team (your teammate may help, or ghost, you during the game). The saved replay should immediately be posted in this thread.

Signups will last until 12 teams have signed up, and the draft will take place at a time that will be announced after signups have been concluded. After all teams have signed up, you can still sign up as substitutes for if one of the teams drops out. For the draft, we will be using a Discord channel. An invite link will be sent to all players via a PM on the forums.

On inactivity:
When you contact an opposing team, it should always be done by posting on the profile of an opponent. This is done so that it is easier for us to keep track of who has contacted who and whether a response is given or not. The agreed and exact time at which the battle will take place should be visible on the profile.

Inactivity is defined as:
1. Not contacting the opponent’s team or responding to being contacted during the 1 week time period given for the round.
2. Failing to show up within half an hour after the exact time the two teams agreed to play the match on. Make sure to contact your opponent within half an hour of the agreed time before calling activity on these grounds, in order to make sure they didn’t just forget. If your opponent fails to show up and the half-hour time period is over, you should immediately post in the thread and report this so we know you were online during the agreed time.

When a team is inactive during a round, they will automatically lose the match. In the rare situation that both teams of a match are inactive, the match will be coinflipped.

Please read and understand all of the rules before signing up. Feel free to ask any questions by posting below or PMing me or MeButYou82 on Discord or the forums.

Due to concerns about the length of this tour, it will be changed to a Double Elimination Tournament instead of Round Robin. All other rules remain the same. Apologies for the sudden change.

Signups closed.
You can still sign up as substitutes.

The time of the draft will be announced soon.
MBY you're dumb

Gummysaur and Melon have yet to confirm so shouldn't sign-ups remain open? Xayah told me in pm oo

E: Gummy confirmed and assuming Rev asked Melon since Melon's tutoring them, so we should be good.

The draft will take place on Saturday August 12th at 4:00 pm GMT. A PM has been sent to all players with additional details. It is recommended for all substitutes to be online at this time, as we can only sub you in for the draft if you are online (otherwise we can't hold the draft).
