[PSL XIV] PokeMMO Super League Season 14 - General Thread


Recommended Posts

Welcome to the General Thread of PSL Season 14 hosted by @gbwead. The PokeMMO Super League (PSL) is a team-based event where the best competitors face each other weekly to claim a grand prize. Players will be auction-selected by one of eight managers of the season and integrate a team that will aim to win the PSL crown. Once the teams are formed, the competition begins.

 

There are two phases to the event: the regular season and the playoffs. Based on their performance during the regular round-robin season, each team will head into the playoff’s single elimination bracket with some advantages or disadvantages.

 

Each week, managers will submit a tier-based lineup of players that will face an opposing team’s lineup. The PSL XIV tiers are: OU1, OU2, UU, NU, Dubs, LC, Manager Choice 1 (OU/UU/NU/Dubs) and Manager Choice 2 (OU/UU/NU/Dubs). Managers will be allowed to play, but in exchange for weekly currency.

 

For the event to be successful, donations are required. If you are interested in supporting PSL 14, you can donate to the IGN: "pslxiv".
 

Bolded terms are detailed below:

Host

Spoiler

The host is not allowed to participate in the event as a player or a manager. The host will be helped by a small council for certain decisions, activity decisions mainly. Members of the small council can participate as players, but not as managers. In order to reach out to as many competitors as possible in our vast community, it would be ideal to have a host/small council that can speak multiple languages.

If you're interested in being part of the small council, please contact me.

 

Hosts and Members of the small council:

@gbwead: English & French

@xXBlu3BreathXx: English

@Kanzo: English & Dutch

@FNTCZ: English & Spanish

@redbluegreen: English

PokeMMO Super League (PSL)

Players

Spoiler

A player signs up for the PSL to compete in duels and represent his/her team on a weekly basis in order to win the grand prize at the end of the season. Players join the PSL by signing up in the “Player Registration” thread during the preseason and will be selected by a manager during the auction. The manager select which tiers his/her players will compete in, but a manager can't force his/her players to compete in a tier he/she didn't sign up for and a player is also not allowed to play in a tier he/she didn't sign up for. It is recommended that managers and players work together throughout the season for the best possible outcome. PSL players are the backbone of this event and we need a diverse group to ensure success. Past players have joined from every corner of the planet and have found a ton of enjoyment by meeting new players and challenging themselves to play in a high stakes event. Not every player who registers will be able to play. When you join the PSL, you are agreeing to play for any manager that selects you in the draft and that you are committed to playing throughout the entirety of the season. You will also follow the rules provided and will respect the decisions made by the host.

Banned players from previous PSL seasons will not be allowed to participate unless the PSL Court Auction rules in their favor. In the PSL Court Auction thread, the entire community may bid on the ruling of previously banned players. Whoever wins the ruling for that player will be able to decide if that player is allowed to participate or not. The money will go directly to the PSL grand prize. If a player wins a ruling and doesn't pay up, that player will be banned from PSL. Opening bids start at 0 pokeyen.

List of previously banned players:
Foggi ( PSL 3 )
Archinix ( PSL 3 )
Phatiman ( PSL 3 )
Daniellegal ( PSL 3 )
Winterbrah ( PSL 4 )

Auction

Spoiler

The PSL Preseason Auction will be held over Discord in a private channel. Only managers and the hosts will be allowed voice and typing capabilities. All others present will be muted and act only as spectators. The draft will occur after Player Sign-ups are completed. The time will be decided by all managers and the host in order for full participation. 

  • The order of the auction will be announced at the beginning of the auction and will be determined by random chance
  • Managers will be provided with 200 credits each
  • Once a manager is called, they will have 2 minutes to select a player from the draft list 
  • A manager may open the bid at 4 credits (minimum) or state a higher opening bid at the time of selection
  • Once a player is selected, other managers can bid on that player by manually typing their bid
  • A minimum outbid of 1 credit is mandatory, for instance a bid of 4 credits can be outbid by a 5 credits bid
  • Once a bid has been active without any other outbids for 20 seconds, that player will be awarded to the manager's team with the highest bid
  • This will be repeated in subsequent order as indicated at the beginning of the auction
  • Manager's must draft a minimum of 9 players and a maximum of 12 players
  • A manager must keep a minimum number of credits to fill their roster. Credits will be tracked by the host, but please help out as this can get messy with a live auction
  • Once a manager has drafted 9 players, they may "skip" their turn in the draft and no longer participate. Once they have announced this, their draft will be over and they can no longer draft any further players
  • A manager's credits will be carried into the season. Each week, a manager will have the possibility to put himself in the lineup or put one of his/her players twice in the lineup for a cost of 3 credits, that will be awarded to the opposing manager at the end of that week.

 

No player can be drafted and purposefully benched. This is not respectful nor conducive to the PSL. In the event a drafted player is unwilling or incapable of playing, the manager will be able to release that player and replace him/her with someone that wasn't drafted yet.

Managers

Spoiler

Managers are responsible for leading their teams on and off the field. They are responsible for drafting their teams, setting weekly rosters, ensuring their team follows the rules and communicating team information with the host. Players who wish to be considered for the eight manager positions will sign up in the “Manager Registration” thread when posted. As managers will be allowed to play the eight managers selected by the host will be chosen based on skill and competitive achievements. More information regarding the role and responsibilities of a manager will be posted in the manager sign up thread. If the manager is at one point or another too busy to manage, he/she can select one of his/her player or ask a friend to take over his duties temporarily.

Competition

Spoiler

You will respect your teammates and above all you will respect your manager. If you got drafted by a manager you don't like or want you will have to put these feelings aside. Signing up is like signing a contract, and these are conditions you have to accept. Disobeying your PSL duties will result in being banned from PSL. At any point of time the host can give you a warning or a restriction based on your behaviour. Don’t act like an uguu and you should be fine. Trying to purposely evade matches, or not trying to get your match done for example can result in penalties. It’s impossible for the host to plan for every situation, its possible something will arise that won’t fall within the bounds of the rules. It is important to remember the final decision lies with the host.

 

Coaching is not cool, but there is no way of preventing it. Streaming through discord and vocal coaching is way too easy and accessible. If you coach or get coached, shame on you. Some players want to play by themselves and that's honourable, but for the sake of the competition they should know that their opponent might not be as honourable as they are and therefore prepare accordingly. 

 

Ghosting is not allowed. Anyone that gets caught being ghosted or ghosting will be banned from the event. Signing up on an alt is also not allowed unless you make sure everyone knows it's an alt. Anyone that gets caught signing up on an alt without revealing his/her real identity will be banned from the event.

Do not expect the host or the small council to go on witch hunts unless there is overwhelming evidence of wrong doing. A screenshot of players in a vocal discord channel is not overwhelming evidence for instance.

Regular Season

Spoiler

Seven week round robin, each team will play every other team once. A team will receive 3 points for a win, 1 point for a tie and 0 points for a loss.

Playoffs

Spoiler

All teams will be automatically qualified for playoffs. However, based on their performance during the regular season, some teams will be advantaged and other disadvantaged. In round 1 of the single elimination bracket, the best teams of the regular season will face the worst teams of the regular season:

Team #1 vs Team #8

Team #2 vs Team #7

Team #3 vs Team #6

Team #4 vs Team #5

 

There are 8 duels per face-off during regular season. During playoffs, there are only 7 duels per face-off to avoid tie breakers. There will be only one manager choice per week during playoffs and the highest ranked team during regular season will be making that choice.

Furthermore, for the first week of playoffs, out of the 7 playoffs duels:

  • Team #8 will have to forfeit 3 duels against Team #1
  • Team #7 will have to forfeit 2 duels to Team #2
  • Team #6 will have to forfeit 1 duel to Team #3

Lineup

Spoiler

Each week, managers must submit a lineup composed of players of their team that will represent them against another team in each of the official PokeMMO tiers. The manager may put himself in the lineup or put one of his/her player twice in the lineup in exchange for 3 credits that will be given to the opposing manager.

The manager has the possibility to add to his/her lineup submission 3 availability windows of his/her players. By doing so and by respecting the availability windows, the host and small council will never reach an activity decision against that player. In the event a player doesn't provide any availability windows during lineup submission and another player does, if there is a scheduling impass, the player that did not provide availability windows at the start of the week will be automatically subbed out.

 

In the event a duel doesn't get played, an extension should be granted only if the extension duel gets scheduled before the week is over. During the extension, if the duel doesn't happen, the team that made themselves more available will receive the activity win.

  • OU2

Donations

Spoiler

The donations will be distributed as follows:

  • 68% of the donations will go to the winning team of the playoffs
    • 45% of the grand prize will be divided evenly among the members (players and manager) of the winning team.
    • Another 45% of the grand prize will be divided evenly in an amount of portions equal to the amount of individual wins the team got during the season and each portion will go directly to the players that got these wins.
    • 10% of the grand prize will go directly to the manager of the winning team.
  • 10% of the runner-up prize will go the runner-up of the playoffs
    • 45% of the runner-up prize will be divided evenly among the members (players and manager) of the runner-up team.
    • Another 45% of the runner-up will be evenly divided in an amount of portions equal to the amount of individual wins the team got during the season and each portion will go directly to the players that got these wins.
    • 10% of the runner-up prize will go directly to the manager of the winning team.
  • 10% of the donations will go the individuals that record duels with or without commentary
  • 10% of the donations will go the best regular season players in each tier 
    • The best player of each tier will be the player with the highest score in the ranking system that will be set up.
  • 2% of the donations will go to the best overall regular season player
    • The best overall player will be the player with the highest score in the ranking system that will be set up.
       

The individual that donates the most will become the official sponsor of this PSL season.

I took a lot of text and ideas from previous PSL seasons, so thanks to all previous hosts.

As a previously banned player, and basically the only active one on your list I've got a couple recommendations. First, host discretion to allow banned players to return. Second, banned players have a donation requirement set by the host. Third, banned players are excluded from being a manager.

 

I think you had already posted something similar but just wanted to reinforce that. Additionally, can you list where you got your banned players list from? Having been so involved for so long, I feel like there were more bans than that.

I went through old administrative threads. I was surprise as well there was not more bans. Feel free to point out the ones I missed. I will post more information in the PSL Court Auction thread shortly.

I also posted before I read the court auction thing. Cool idea, looks like some type of fuckery I would have done lol.

Additional Bans:

  1. Osuki (Banned for PSL6, ghosting)
  2. Phatiman (PSL3)
  3. Kiliminati (PSL3, later unbanned same season)
  4. Daniellegal (PSL3)
  5. Bluejim (PSL? banned for playing as an alt and colluding with another manager to bid on him late auction)
  6. Pikachu (PSL8)
  7. Fredrichneitze (was banned at some point then unbanned PSL9)
  8. Yettodie (PSL13, entire team was banned for match fixing and accepting bribes)

 

Additionally, I was never "banned" but suspended for one week in PSL9 after the coaching incident. Hosts of PSLX chose not to ban me either, and instead asked that I pay 1M to play which was given. @Munya also cannot find any hidden articles in the PSL9 Administration thread that stated I was banned.

Phatiman, Daniellegal and Pikachu were already listed. Kiliminati was actually a mistake made by the host and that's why he got unbanned, so that's why I did not list him. Can you link the ban posts or announcement for Osuki, Bluejim, Fred and Yetto? I tried to find them on my own a few hours ago, but couldn't find anything.

As for your case, it is still under investigation since iirc you demanded at the time for staff to remove some posts in the PSL 9 administrative thread.

If you browse PSLV General Thread, you'll find Osuki listed as banned. Bluejim there is no official post I could find, but that's not including looking at each individual weekly thread (no fucking way). Fred I have no clue why he was banned but it was stated in PSL8 General Thread. No comment on Yetto specifically, but there whole team was banned PSL13 for him paying opponents who accepted bribes. Thinknice and Pachima were hosts then.

The only posts that were removed in the admin decision thread were spam, literally posts that said "Hi my name is jeff" or gif images, from people sneaking in posts during the small window we would open the thread for the hosts to post in it.  Or gif images from staff at the time being funny with their lock message.  Nothing that was removed discussed or had anything to do with bans, at least not in that thread specifically.

From PSL 9 public channel in discord, at some point something was deleted:

I will ask zebra to get access to the small council channel to see what was said there.

Is the only post by zebra in that thread and it isn't hidden so I am not sure what he is referring to.  If it was hidden at some point and then unhidden I can't say for sure, but the date approximately matches up with those discord dates, its off by a day?
