Crap, you’re really gonna change things so I can’t just show up and randomly play in Adv UU tours once or twice a year without paying attention to the overall meta, aren’t you? So like, the problem with doing any tiering at all in Adv UU is that its original tiering process was so outdated and...

I find it hard to even imagine what an SPL without reyscarface would look like. Thirteen years of SPL including what despite the lack of a trophy is arguably the strongest streak in all of SPL history is nothing to sneeze at. Sad that you couldn't claim the red for your final season but there's...

shiloh is our newest tiering admin!

Following up on this, a couple of questions have been asked multiple times, so I think it makes sense to answer them here for everyone. Also tagging in power, who worked with me in figuring these rules out and writing them up. Why does the winner pay the second-highest bid amount, rather than...

Probably not going to play so no real input on what y'all choose but just posting to say that if anyone has any questions about the particulars of the blind auction format I wrote up, please feel free to ask! I think it's a pretty cool option that I'd love to see in practice. C/Ping the full...

DOU: Mishimono vs Paraplegic

Are you sure it was a TD decision and not a host decision? I know there's some overlap but it might not be fair to blame the whole TD team for the incorrect initial decision + failed implementation of the (incorrect) recreate. Not sure how the current team handles things, but at least previously...

I figured Latias was due a chance back in UU given that we got Slowking back (basically the most consistent Lati pivot when it was here previously), plus added on the new arrival of Mandibuzz and the existence of Aegislash, who wasn’t around previously. I also thought that there was a chance...

Good luck to all. My East Coast upbringing demands I root for East, but I think Europe has been amazing and in any other circumstance I'd be cheering them on. Should be a fun series either way.

umbry vs LNumbers Bushtush vs Indigo Plateau Accel vs mncmt Adaam vs Askov robjr vs Gondra

Oh lord I went like 0-5 last week, I am bad, but let’s try this again: umbry vs Accel - I keep finding reasons to bold against Accel and he keeps finding reasons to make me regret that choice, but I’m not quite ready to hop off the umbry hype train just yet. Adaam vs Bushtush - Bolding Dadaam...

As was discussed in another recent thread, we don’t currently have a public definition of what constitutes a “complex” ban. To paraphrase the immortal words of Justice Potter Stewart, no one wants to put a hard definition on it, but just about everyone seems to think they’ll know it when they...

umbry vs mncmt - The mncmt/Highways pairing looked good last week but I still think umbry is the player to beat in this pool. Going to bold her every week until I have good reasons not to. pdt vs Askov - Holy hell this is an unpredictable game. pdt builds roughly four hundred teams a week, so as...

Won vs Serene Grace, gg and sorry about the para-fest. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen5uu-578374

Gl all and go US South!

umbry vs Bushtush - I love Bushtush but based on recent games rate umbry pretty close to the top right now as far as UUers go. Accel vs LNumbers - No one in the world would be surprised if Accel took this one, least of all me, but Clark is super hungry for a win and more on top of the meta than...

Won vs trace, gg. https://replay.pokemonshowdown.com/smogtours-gen5uu-576719

With ~3 hours until the auction, I've gone ahead and closed the survey. Thanks to the 85 people who participated! Here are some key highlights: Not a surprise given Tony's history as a manager, but the Indigo Platoon seemed to be a clear favorite among many of you. The Platoon took the lead in...
