Welcome back to VGC's third PL, hosted by the one and only Aldrich! We will have 7 weeks of regular season action, followed by a playoffs stage between the top 4 teams competing for a Custom Avatar prize! (Potentially expanding to 10 teams!!) The following formats will be played:
The rotating formats will be played in chronological order, such that VGC 17/20 are played on Weeks 1 & 4, VGC 18/21 are played on Weeks 2 & 5, and VGC 19/22 are played on Week 3. For playoffs, the higher seed will have their choice of format in the single legacy slot, with both higher and lower seeds picking their choice for the double legacy slot. For example, if there is 1 SM slot and 2 SwSh slots with Team A is seed 1 playing seed 2 Team B in finals, Team A can select their choice format for SM and SwSh, and Team B can choose their choice format for SwSh
Additional Notes:
The default platform for games to be played is on the Pokemon Showdown main server. All three matches must be opened before the first game starts with the same teams. If players both agree, matches can be played on cartridge, however full footage must be included.
GLHF everyone, looking forward to some amazing competition this year!
