In the absense of gb and camilo, I have taken the liberty to allow iMat to sub in for Larosoa due to the following: Larosoa failed to show up to the scheduled time (2pm GMT +9). Sejuani, iMat, EYL, and Mlhawk were all present and agreed to the substitution. The week ends tomorrow, and the match score was 7-0. Please note this action is out of the ordinary due to the circumstances and by no means the norm

Managers have the option to pay 3c on a given week to either play themselves or field a player for two matches.

forums died when clubs were introduced. also no HAs in almost 10 years, gg. still, gib money plz

All those new names.. we're grandpas now

Go sign up for PSL if you haven't done it already

Its not about money, its a fee so third person / ingame signup doesnt become the norm.

What I'm saying is, after w4 almost any decision could have an impact on the whole standings; thus, every decsion would be a conflict of interest.

@gbwead can we seriously consider not allowing this please. pretty much any controversial decision after w4 will most likely affect most of the standings, obviously generating a conflict of interest for small council members that would be playing.

Tiers: Cheerleading Fluff: I hope gb reconsiders and doesnt allow council members to signup, it is dumb. However, in the meantime big disclaimer: I will not play for your team. I'm signing up because I saw many new aspiring doubles players, and I thought it could be fun to help the new generation grow by helping them undertsnd the meta, build, prepare, and practice. I also still have 4+ full boxes of dubs comps I can lend (but the ones I used the most are gone). Do not buy me if: You expect me to play You are also buying an stablished dubs player You do not have the budget to breed some crazy sets I might think of. They might be used for a single match, or being discarded and not used at all You need to spend more than 8 credits for me, it wont be worth it. You didnt do your research and talk to the aspiring player(s) you want me to help. They need to have some braincells on their own. If they end up being deadweights, that will be your fault, not mine. All in all, buying me is a risk, but if you do think that some of the new guys signing up for dubs have potential, and you want someone to guide them, I could help.

It has never made sense though, why not change it now?

I dont think small council members should be able to play.

Mfw MMO legit turned into Politics.

You guys should join PSL. It is the most prestigious western tournament in pokemmo. It would also be cool for one of your leaders to be a manager. ask @heichicoda for more information. ------ 你们应该加入PSL。 它是 pokemmo 中最负盛名的西部锦标赛。 让您的一位领导成为经理也很酷。 向@heichicoda 询问更多信息。

This sounds fun. Also I agree the score should be used for 4 or 5 out of 8 spots and the remainder be decided in some other way. Because: Playing more tournaments does not necesarely make you a better player: even when I actively played MMO, I rarely ever joined automated tournaments. If you counted my HoF entries I most likely wouldnt even be top 10 in dubs. yet I won 3x best dubs and 2x mvp between the past 3 PSLs and 2 WCs. Being a good player does not necesarely make you a good manager: Again, I will put myself as the example. I won a lot in PSL and Team Tournaments. Yet the one time I managed, I finished 7th. Regarding the current candidates and their respective calculated scores, there are one or two players in the top 8 that I know are amazing players, but based on my previous interactions with them, I know for a fact they wouldnt be great managers. There are qualities that would make great managers which are not quantifiable: Kay and Pachima being C and D tier shows that: Kay is one of the smartest players I know, and most importantly, he is a very dedicated and reasonable person (the later quality being very important because it facilitates comunication within the team they'd manage, as well as comunication with the host / councilmen). Pachima won PSL with a roster that predictions said would be one of the weakest. He is not my favorite player or person but you can't deny he is dedicated and he somehow makes the weirdest things work. There should be room for upcoming talent: The Chinese community represents a decent chunk of the competitive scene (as far as automated tournaments go), but they have stayed away from PSL so far. I don't know who heichicoda is, so I will talk about the players I knew from a year ago. Imagine BabyLo signed up as a potential manager, he probably wouldnt have enough points, but the fact that he built and led the most accoladed Chinese team (who at the time were winning, I'd say 1 in 4 automated tournaments), would be reason enough for me to pick him and try and get the communities closer. Ofcourse I'm not saying let's pick randomly, and I actually like the gb is using a mathematical criteria so the process is more transparent and unbiased. But I think we should only use this for at most half of the spots, as many other valuable characteristics escape the scope of what you can represent in a formula.

WTF 2 Docs?
