This is the thread for all of the important information - please refrain from general discussion here, as the more cluttered this thread gets, the harder keeping track of everything will be. Use this thread for discussion instead.

The Doc

First things first, here is the draft doc (at the time of making this post, it's still a little scuffed, but the points values should be correct-ish now. I'll edit this bit once everything's finalised). You can have a look at the draft board ahead of time, and the other sheets will be used to keep track of everything as the league progresses.

Signing Up
Signups are now closed :(

Posting in this thread
Please keep any general chat to the discussion thread. This one is just for submission of all the information needed for the league. In rough chronological order, that will be: your team submission, your draft picks, any trades you make, and your game results. I can do a post with examples of each of those if that'd be helpful.

Other Miscellaneous Stuff
Really just making this bit so I have somewhere for anything else I think to add. I'll put all of the sort of "draft 101" stuff for any newcomers in the discussion thread, so keep an eye out for that there.

Draft Starting

It's time to actually draft our mons!

As a reminder, the draft order is as follows:
1) @Blast
2) @falinksedin
3) @MeanQueen16
4) @RandomTransGirl
5) @Dragonbunsu
6) @nuvematown

And we go in a snaking order, meaning the picking cycle goes up and down over the course of two rounds (ie. 1 ->2 -> 3 -> 4 -> 5 -> 6 -> 6 -> 5 -> 4 -> 3 -> 2 -> 1 -> repeat). Make sure you remember to ping the person whose turn it is after you (I have seen drafts grind to a standstill because of this lmao)

I'll try to keep the doc up to date as best I can, just check both it and the recent posts in the thread when you're submitting a pick to make sure the mon you want hasn't gone.

We're drafting exactly 10 mons, with a 100 point budget. You get 12 hours to submit your pick or you're skipped and can catch up when you get your next pick.

Here's the template for pick submission again:

Draft Pick
Fort Augustus Falinks
Annihilape
100-20 = 80
@[person with next pick]

Once you submit your pick, it's locked in immediately and can't be changed, even if the next person hasn't picked yet. Once the draft finishes, however, there'll be a 24 hour grace period where you can trade as much as you want.

@Blast that's been just over 12h now so you're skipped, you get a catchup pick when it's next your turn (so 3 total since you have the wheel)

Next is me

Fort Augustus Falinks
Torkoal
100 - 18 = 82
@MeanQueen16 your pick
 
@nuvematown Apologies for the ping but wanted to note that the draft doc mentioned the picking order was snake (1-6, then 6-1, back and forth until picks finish) so it goes in reverse order up until Blast and then Blast pings all the way back to you. So you and Blast are basically only pinging one person due to being at the end.

Tampa Bay Thundurus
Arcanine
80-17= 63

@RandomTransGirl
 
Just leaving this here since it'll be useful for both the draft itself and scheduling matches. I had no idea about this but it's possible to receive phone notifications when you're pinged on here:
Okay, so on phone you go into Your Account > Preferences and then scroll down to push notifications, and enable them, and make sure the box to receive new notifications when a new message is received is checked. If your active in a ton of different threads, you might get a ton of notifications, but idk if theres a way to prevent that or only set it so you only get notifications from certain threads
