Eres el mejor! Muchas gracias

Gimme jellicent

Behold! The most adequate person to talk about level!
 
+1 on UT being added, it's good fun

Thank you for hosting a seasonal, these are super hype tournaments.

What bothers me the most is when a team has no shot of going to playoffs, but still has to play 1, 2 or 3 weeks left. That's fundamentally fucked imo. No one wants to play when they are already out. Eliminated managers usually bench their best players to give a chance to their noobs to make a name for themselves. I don't blame them, but it's unfair to all the previous opponents that had to fight try hard players that are afterwards replaced with meh players.

We had different systems to make sure this does not happen:
6 out of 8 teams going to playoffs All teams make playoffs (advantages/disadvantages based of regular season standings) etc.
  This year Doc decided to have only 4 teams going to playoffs, but created the underdog fund as an incentive for eliminated teams to keep trying. It's not a bad idea, we'll see how it goes. Anyhow, it's important for the host to choose a format that makes it unlikely for a team to be eliminated prior to the end of the regular season.
 

I agree with everything but the PSL format. 
 
I believe we could make it a smaller, more exclusive event where we can see top quality in every match. We all know there are players who get drafted just because... not really because they have the level to compete in PSL. And we see evidence of that every season. 
 
I think 6 teams, 8 tiers (or less, not sure about Manager Choices either) would be fine, making the event move faster, be more exclusive, and not get boring at times like we all know it does. This would assure that only the best of the best play this event (or at least who managers believe are the best). 
If you're a new player you have plenty of chances to get noticed by managers before the event starts, like scrim sessions, winning tournaments, etc. Maybe it would even motivate newer players to get better faster. 
In this case, we could have midseason, since probably some players will go undrafted and maybe a manager can see value in taking someone from the pool to help his team or make it stronger, still unsure about it tho because it's very hard to make it work for everyone + still be fair. 
 
I do believe whichever seed is higher during regular season should get some sort of advantage come playoffs time, maybe then we could introduce MC or something else. 
 
Lineups are a huge problem, and imo they can be fixed easily with a Discord Bot, it would only take a bit of time/programming to accomplish this and it would remove a huge headache for everyone. 
 
I also like what you said about managers having some sort of activity throughout the season, it would encourage them to stay in touch and not just send lineups and go AFK the rest of the time. 
 
 

Hello,
 
I appreciate that it's the middle of the regular season of PSL XVI as I write this but I thought it would be a good idea to gather feedback from the community regarding this PSL edition and also look at suggestions for the next one (whoever would be keen to host it).
 
I'll share my views:
 
Pros
I thought it was nice to have a variety of managers involved, including giving a debut to managers like NecasInTrouble and Wallarro - it shows that the competitive community is willing to continue giving new people a chance to showcase their managerial skills in the biggest unofficial tournament Drama was identified and dealt with pretty quickly (e.g. the Brumoso incident), although it could have potentially been dealt with more smoothly (e.g. Not suspending Necas) New players were able to debut in their first PSL season (e.g. LiveLaughHate amongst others) The chips were a nice incentive and had that surprise factor against opposing teams  
Cons
I believe that Doc doing most of the stuff on his own wasn't a good idea considering his commitments - these sort of events always need help as it's incredibly time-consuming Although the chips were a good incentive, I believe that this alongside the point above caused line-ups to be submitted and weekly line-ups to be posted slightly late The fact that players could leave a team that was eliminated during the regular season and join a team to increase their chances at winning seems a bit unfair - I believe you should stick with your team until the very end unless a midseason draft occurs, as it's the player and manager's responsibility to motivate the team. Although both managers had to agree to the trade, I feel players should stick with that team regardless Some of the draft picks weren't the best compared to previous seasons PSL is starting to lose its identity as the years go on. It used to be known as the competition for only the most elite and top players in the game but admittedly the quality has been decreasing over time. Although there are still some great quality matches, the overall quality has definitely reduced.  
To be updated as the season progresses.
 
Now onto my suggestions for a future PSL...
 
Timeline
General Thread to be posted at the beginning of October (enough time to collect donations and build hype) Manager/Player registrations to be posted on the second week of November (Manager sign-ups open for one week, player sign-ups open for two weeks) Auction to take place on the last Saturday/Sunday of November Regular season to take place from the first week of December, with one of the following formats: Seven week round-robin, each team will play each other once. A team will receive 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie and 0 points for a loss. 6 teams would qualify for the playoffs. Two groups consisting of four teams each (the teams will be chosen at random) - each team will play each other twice, lasting for six weeks. A team will receive 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie and 0 points for a loss. The top two teams from each group would qualify for the playoffs (4 in total), or the top three from each group qualifying (6 in total) but the teams finishing top automatically receiving a bye until the semifinals. Playoffs would take place from January and conclude in February (around CNY event time)  
Manager selection
There would be a variety of managers picked varying from those who have gained multiple tournament wins, competed in PSL or those who haven't managed before but may have the skills required to take on the role  
Player selection
One of the following options:
All players who signed up regardless of quality will be considered for the draft Implement a certain criteria for players to be drafted to ensure consistent high-quality matches - credit to @LeJovi for the suggestion  
Tiers
Reintroduce showdown tiers, with a vote between: SV OU, SM OU, ORAS OU, DPP OU, ADV OU, VGC If this is not possible then potentially a separate tournament where MMO players would exclusively participate in showdown tiers to prove their skills (e.g. A Smogon based PSL purely aimed at MMO players) Regular Season 8 Tiers - OU, OU, UU, NU, DUBS, LC, MC, MC 10 Tiers - OU, OU, UU, NU, DUBS, LC, MC, MC, Showdown tier, Showdown tier 6 Tiers - OU, UU, NU, DUBS, LC, Showdown Tier - Credit to @Luke There is a consideration to get rid of Manager Choice for future PSL's as there are no great benefits and it risks inexperienced players being slotted in that spot instead of being able to showcase their full potential. Playoff Season Same as above, but in the event of a tie managers will battle in the following tiers (OU, MC, MC)  
General
Chips would be abandoned Introduce a co-host and PSL Council to ensure that the event runs smoothly throughout, line ups/deadlines are handled quicker and to help if any incidents/drama occurs Disable trades during the season as teams that are already eliminated (e.g. RDL's team) can put other teams at an advantage/disadvantage, since in theory, RDL's team may not need to try anymore compared to previous weeks Allow a midseason draft from week 5/6 onwards to give undrafted players or players who missed the original deadline to join if they want. Managers would be given a certain number of credits unrelated to the original draft to bid on these players. Managers to potentially battle each other to decide potential tiebreakers during playoffs (assuming they are not allowed to play again). Having pre-established teams with a consistent mascot for each PSL - Credit to @Luke Removing Manager Choices as a tier and replacing this with Showdown tiers or removing these altogether - Credit to @Luke @Quinn010 Make sure that coaching, if caught, is severely punished to try and deter players from attempting to do so.  
Betting
Betting threads to be reintroduced in the Unofficial Tournaments section for PSL, due to a number of people not realising about the Club section and engagement being lower than previous years  
Additional
Try and bring back Kyu OT Pokemon or other staff prizes as an extra incentive for MvPs and media recorders - Credit to @Axelgor for the idea  
This just came to my head right now so wanted to share, but I'd like to emphasise that this does not mean I'm planning to host the next PSL, more that I thought it would be good to get feedback and ideas in as soon as possible so that we can avoid any delays like this year.

I thought about raikou and entei alongside snorlax but that would give the winners an hard time choosing 😕
Even for Seasonals there are limitations, in my opinion these were the best options I had at the moment or close to it, and respecting your opinion, I think they are cool.

No worries, I think it comes down to personal preference too and its hard to please everyone, if I had picked one of the mons you mentioned, some players could possibly be asking why not the big old snorlax instead 😄 It's a rare shiny too and one of the faces of the tier for a long time.

Nice one man, as Incog said there are better shinies but we understand there are limitations that you don't control. 

GL to everyone participating. 

I know I asked for this but damn that was fast.
