[PSL 8] Administrative Thread


Recommended Posts

The first announcement I will be making is the teams of PSL.

 

 

1. Elcoolio and The Schwifty Shiftrys

 

2. LKrenz and The Hungry Salamences 

 

3. LifeStyle and The Brave Blazikens

 

4. EricTheGreat and The Gain Train

 

5. TheChampionMike and The Driftveil Dragonites

 

6. Yubel and The Boosted Monkeys

 

7. DoubleJ and The Machoke Artists

 

8. OldKeith and The Flocking Buzzwoles

 

(waiting on Yubel and Eric to get their names+colors to me).

 

And along with the manager's teams, I will be randomly selecting the draft picks as well.

 

Using random.org, I randomized the list of managers, and obtained the following. The order will be snaking, so the 8th pick will get 9th pick, and so on.

 

  1. DoubleJ
  2. LKrenz
  3. TheChampionMike
  4. OldKeith
  5. Elcoolio
  6. EricTheGreat
  7. LifeStyle
  8. Yubel
  9. Yubel
  10. LifeStyle
  11. EricTheGreat
  12. Elcoolio
  13. OldKeith
  14. TheChampionMike
  15. LKrenz
  16. DoubleJ

Managers are allowed to trade their draft picks as they please, along with their pool of 100k credits. 

 

@Munya @TheChampionMike you may close this thread now.

Tier Change Announcement:

 

Due to the lacking number of LC players compared to the number of UU players, along with the bugged multi-hit moves, and general volatility of the tier, UU2 will be replacing LC for PSL8. Sorry to those who were interested in playing LC this season, but players, managers, and I all feared the lack of competitiveness with only a pool of 17 players to choose from, many of which did not primarily play LC. 

 

The final tiers for PSL8 will be :

 

OU

OU
UU

UU

NU

Doubles

DPP

SMOU

Week 1 Player Activity Announcement :

 

1. Walpayer vs Miguelez : The outcome didn't affect the week, so no managers made a case for their player to get the activity win. Miguelez was substituted in for Murcielago Friday night, while walpayer was online during Friday and Saturday. I did not see much effort from walpayer though, which makes this an easy no contest call.

 

 

2. Kevola vs LucasCisneros : The outcome of this match will affect the week, so both managers brought evidence to yours truly on the overall activity of the players. Kevola pm'ed Lucas on forums on Tuesday asking when they should play, but offered no times or his time zone. Kevola approached me in game either on Wednesday/Thursday claiming Lucas did not reply on forums. I suggested that he try to reach Lucas in game as many non-english speaking people don't use the english-based forums as much. According to sources, they did make some contact in game but did not formally arrange a time. Lucas replied on forums and in-game on Friday giving a time he was available, but Kevola was unavailable at that time. Kevola said he was available Sunday night (GMT), but not Saturday. Lucas did not reply, but was ready to play on Sunday. Kevola said he made plans on Sunday instead, since Lucas did not reply to the PM. Kevola was online Sunday night, but was afk when people were whispering him, so the match did not get played. This is a no contest in my eyes as Kevola was not available Saturday or Sunday, the prime times for PSL matches, and did not take enough initiative earlier on in the week to let Lucas know that he would not be available on the weekend. 

 

If by miracle, any of these individuals log on before the deadline to play their match, these calls will be reversed, but it seems unlikely as of now.

 

Week 2 will be posted shortly.

Player Release Announcement :

 

@LifeStyle has released @PikachuKetchum from the Brave Blazikens.

 

The Situation :

  • Pikachu told Jovi / LifeStyle that he would be inactive due to traveling and won't have time to play
  • Jovi asked if he would be able to play again in the season, and Pikachu said he would not be able to because of personal problems
  • Some time later, Jovi / Lifestyle notice that Pikachu is still active in game, after Pikachu told them he would be unable to play for PSL
  • LifeStyle requested to release Pikachu due to his uncompetitive PSL spirit

 

The small council and I all agreed that the release of Pikachu was acceptable as lying about not being able to play is unacceptable in PSL. In addition to being released, PIkachu will not be able to sign up at the midseason draft, and he will be banned from Season 9 of PSL, assuming the next host of PSL is going to uphold the ban.

Week 3 Player Activity Announcement :

 

1. Maekaaay vs Walpayer : The outcome of this match ended up not mattering at the end of the week, but just for record purposes, Maekaaay will be awarded an activity win, as Walpayer made minimal effort scheduling a match, and was inactive both on forums and in-game, not having logged in game since Thursday, and not reading his PM on forums since Wednesday. Walpayer will receive a yellow card this week due to his inactivity. This means if Walpayer is involved in another activity call, he will be not allowed to play in the following week. 

 

No other activity calls need to be made this week.

Tier Change Announcement :

 

As you have probably seen, the monthly usage tier changes have been posted again, which can be seen here. The only tiers affected are UU and NU. These tier changes will be in effect for Week Four. Plan accordingly. If the tier changes are not implemented in-game before a PSL match occurs, the players must tick UU for an NU battle, and OU for a UU battle.

PSL Yellow Card/Ruling Announcements:

 

@Mnemosyne will be receiving a yellow card for revealing a less than obvious set/move in normal chat, which could have changed the results of the match. This hurts the competitiveness of PSL and will not be tolerated in future weeks. Revealing pokemon sets, predicting pokemon or plays will not be tolerated in future weeks and will result in harsher punishments.

 

LordOfAngmar @Viking and sweendog @sweendogforums will be receiving yellow cards as well due to their lack of communication on the PSL thread this week. They did not post when they would be playing early on in the week, and then did not post 10 minutes before they started. The match wasn't announced until 2 other players posted about it, about 4 minutes into their first battle. It is expected that players will post 10 minutes before they start their match, and it is generally good etiquette to post approximately when your match is going to happen, as soon as you get your match scheduled.

 

Yellow cards do not have any immediate punishment, but 2 yellow cards will result in a one week suspension. Yellow cards can be received for activity or breaking general PSL rules.
