Tiering Lead
With the second wave of DLC coming out at the end of this month, we decided that there we did want a second team tournament for NU, especially considering the help it can give to develop the new metagame as it starts forming at the end of this month. This means our likely start date will be November 1st for the first week of the tour, and will likely be 8 teams, so 7 week regular season, and 2 weeks for playoffs. With SPL being pushed back a month as well, this will match up well with it and mean there is minimal overlap with official tours.
With that being said, we did not just want a full SS tour, so the tiers for this tour will be as follows: 4 SS NU / 2 SM NU / 1 ORAS NU / 1 Bo3 (SS/SM/ORAS). This might change before player signups, but we do not foresee adding additional tiers, it would mainly be changing up the number or removing a slot like Bo3.
Like mentioned earlier, we are looking to have 8 teams, and that is the purpose of this thread. Post below if you would be interested in managing, and feel that you could commit to staying around for the entirety of the tour. Managers will be able to purchase themselves, but it will be in lieu of a round 1 pick in order to keep it fair. As it is a Snake Draft, the pick order will be randomized and announced a couple days after player signups. There will be either 10 or 12 rounds of drafting; this will be discussed among managers / moderators.

With all that out of the way, these are the qualifications we are looking for; managers will be chosen based on experience in NU tournaments (most notably NUPL and SPL), involvement in the community, competence™, and historically demonstrating good behavior. If you're signing up, include solid reasoning as to why you would be a good manager based on these qualities. No shitposts masquerading as sign up posts, so no "in" posts please. Team names will be decided once all managers are picked. Also if it was not clear, I will be the host and do not plan on participating myself.
Signups will remain open till this Sunday the 18th.
