Smogon VGC Winter League - Player Signups

[zee]

​

This is the player signups thread for VGCWL. Please remember that this tournament will be a 7 week commitment with playoffs included and will end towards the end of January if you chose to signup, so we request that you signup only if you can be active for a reasonable amount of time, or otherwise state any activity issues when signing up. For more information, please check the commencement thread. Please only post player signups in this thread.

If you'd like to join the discussion, check out our VGC-WL-Central channel in the Smogon VGC Discord.

The metagames that will be featured this year are:
- VGC 2021 Series 11
- VGC 2021 Series 10
- VGC 2021 Series 9
- Battle Festival Doubles
- VGC 2019 / 2018 / 2017 Rotation*
- VGC 2015

Do note: if the old gen rotation slots do not get enough signups they are subject to being replaced.

* You may choose to signup for individual metagames or rotational formats as a whole.

To be considered at auction, you will need to post with the following format:

Name:
Metagames Played:
Timezone:
Potential Activity Issues:
Bio:

You must signup with exactly this format. We ask for your name (username, not your real name) for organizational reasons and for the auction. The metagames played are those that you have experience in and are capable of playing in a tournament setting. Do not post a metagame that is not one of the featured tiers. Timezone is your local time relative to GMT which helps tell managers how it will be like to coordinate. Inactivity is simply if you have any extensive period of time where you will be unavailable, (for example, gone on vacation for a week) this is incredibly important for the managers to know so that they can do their best to make sure the team doesn't suffer from inactivity. Lastly, we have allowed players the option to include a short bio about themselves. We anticipate that many players signing up don't have much Smogon presence, so this is a fair way for everyone to give a fair impression. Smogon players are more than welcome to use Smogon tournament placements in their bio.

Posting a bio is not required, and if you have no activity issues you may leave that out as well, but filling out all 5 categories to some extent is at least recommended.
