FAQ
What is this thread about?
In this thread feel free to discuss anything regarding DPL before it begins and leading up to the auction.
Some possible points of discussion are:
How does DPL work?
There will be 6 teams, each with their own captain. Captains will then do a snake draft on Pokemon Showdown where they will take turns nomming and bidding in an auction for players who signed up to assemble their teams with limited credits available. The teams will then play one another for 5 weeks, with a new opponent each week. This will culminate with a Playoffs week consisting of the Top 2 teams overall from the 5 week main season.
How does one signup as a player?

Some possible points of discussion are:
Bring up anything else you find relevant and worth discussing regarding DPL1. Should captains be allowed to play?
- This was allowed last year
2. If so what restriction or in what manner should this be done?
- Last year managers were given the option to buy themselves for 10k prior to the auction, to be able to play in any slot during the main season
3. What Doubles formats should be used this year?
- Last year there were 6 playing slots for each team. 4 XY DOU, 1 XY DUU, 1 BW DOU. With the introduction of SM DOU as the current main tier, this dynamic will have to change
