Welcome to the fifth iteration of Showdown's biggest team tournament: Pokemon Showdown Premier League! PSPL V will see the various rooms from PS! duking it out in a team tournament with teams composed of ranked users from each room. If you're a little confused, here's a sample match with the finalised tiers (these tiers were decided by popularity as well as by voting from PS! room staff; the sample is not representative of any actual lineup):

UnderUsed (0) vs Mafia (8)
SM Ubers: Kink vs TheWhoDoctor
SM OU: TSR vs Chapter Seven
SM UU: Pak vs Drookez
SM RU: Sam vs Shubaka17
SM LC: Aquadext vs rssp1
SM Doubles OU: LeoLancaster vs superstarsrock
SM Monotype: Shiba vs Aelita
SM Random Battle (best-of-three): Hikari vs ajhockeystar

Tournament Format
The tournament will begin with a round-robin group stage. Each group contains four teams. The top two teams from each group in the group stage will move on to a single elimination, bracket-style tournament to decide the champion of PSPL! Any additional rules and explanations will be listed when week 1 is posted.

Who can play?
Each room must play ten players each week—eight starting slots and two substitutes. Six of those slots must be room voices and up, while the other four slots do not have to be ranked users. However, if room auth want to play, they should get priority over room regulars. As for non-ranked users, each team is entitled to two globally ranked users (global voice and up), as well as two regular users (no global rank). As such, if your team can only field six room auth to play, your lineup would consist of 6 room auth + 2 global ranked + 2 regular users (global ranked users that are also room auth count for the room auth number, not the global ranked users number).

I have a list of roomauth in each room, which is essentially the roster for the "must be a ranked user" slots. If you're using someone not on your /roomauth list as a ranked user, you as an owner will need to pm me and tell me why they earned rank in the room. Do not try and game the system, or you will be laughed at and punished for being unable to compete in a fun community tournament without cheating...

No one can play for multiple rooms. This also applies to managers. However, if you own a room you're not playing for, you may be an "involved owner" in a different room so we can keep things running smoothly.

Prizes?
The winning room gets their room moved to the top of the room list (alongside rooms like Lobby and Tournaments) for a temporary amount of time.

Lineup Submission / When does the tour start?
Managers must have their week one lineup submitted by June 10th and before the deadline of each subsequent week (11:59PM EST (GMT-4) of Sundays). We'll post matchups on the Monday of each week and you'll have one week to complete the matches. Week one starts June 12th.

Managers, when submitting your lineup please send a forum PM to me (Eyan), Kalalokki, and SteelEdges. Within your PM, you should include
  1. Your room name
  2. The list of players that will be playing that week, with an indication of which player is supposed to be slotted in which tier.
Rinse and repeat throughout the later weeks (use that same forum PM as well -- it's much easier to keep up with exactly 32 convos throughout this tournament rather than 321 convos).

Please make sure to tag your players' Smogon accounts as well, especially if it's different from their username on PS!, as this will save us a lot of time when posting the weeks and tagging players. [i.e. SM Ubers: @SmogonName (PS! username)]
