COMMENCEMENT THREAD
Welcome to the sixth installment of the Battle Spot Premier League, and second installment of the Battle Stadium Premier League! In this team tournament, managers will draft their team from a pool and players and face off against a different team each week. The top three teams will continue on to playoffs to decide who will be the BSPL VI champion! That's half the teams, a 50/50 shot, so you might as well sign up. The champions will get a special role in the Smogon Battle Stadium discord.
This year, the league will be co-hosted by Hulavuta and Charlotte, with chemcoop as a format consultant only. Big thanks to DragonWhale for hosting the previous years and developing the format!
Basic Info:
- All games are going to be held on Pokemon Showdown and general tournament rules apply.
- Each week, teams get the following points depending on the result: Win = 2, Tie = 1, Loss = 0
- Teams with equal points are ranked according to their differential (# of sets won - # of sets lost)
