Here's how this is going to work:
These sessions will occur probably twice a month, maybe more or less depending on our schedules. We will alternate sessions on PS and IRC.
In these sessions, we will gather as a group and collectively create a team around a pre-determined, well-defined concept or idea. (In a CCAT fashion, basically.) Once that team is made, I (or one of the other hosts) will make a post in this thread summarizing the discussion, providing an importable for the created team, and adding explanations for the chosen aspects of the team. From then, this thread will be open for discussion on how the team works, ways to improve it, ways to use it, and matches it has undergone in the ladder, etc.
All are free to join in! Remember to have fun!
Coming Up With Team Starting Points
Usually, we will update this thread about a week or so in advance so that the community has time to choose a specific starting point to build the team around. There will be time given to submit ideas and then time to submit votes.
Idea Submission tips:
~Support your idea with reasoning! Keep in mind that the reason for building a team around an idea is just as important as what the idea is.
~Remember that the point of these workshops is for the community to grow and gain experience in building solid competitive teams, so NO GIMMICKS. (sorry Nollan ;])
~Keep your starting points simple yet concise, so that there are many different paths to explore. However, avoid being too vague (like don't just say "offense!"). The point is to start off with an idea or a core to base the team around. (Ex: *This type of weather* with *insert Pokemon here.* or Team made around *this famous core*.)

~Obligatory SmogDubs Logo; let's go worship Bummer now~
Doubles is a (relatively) new tier, and every day, more and more new people come and try it out. To complement a growing userbase, I and many other Doubles moderators / users thought it would be highly beneficial to host occasional Doubles Teambuilding Sessions, some on Pokemon Showdown's Doubles Room, and some on #doubles on IRC. The point of these sessions is to develop community-wide teambuilding experience and to tips and strategies for teambuilding in doubles. It will also be a great opportunity for newer players to integrate themselves into the Doubles community and see that we don't bite at all! :]Workshop Sessions
