Welcome to the Inaugural Nimbus Premier League! Premier Leagues have become a staple of the Smogon competitive environment and the Nimbus Server will now have it's very own. This will serve as the mega-thread for the NPL. Feel free to discuss the tournament, post predictions, comments, etc. here. Registration will be done using a Google Form.
Metagames
Each team will play 7 matches for each week of the MPL.
Monotype(2x), Ubers, OU , UU, RU, NU
Managers, please have your lineups submitted to me, by Friday of each week. Make sure you designate an ORASMonotype1 and ORASMonotype2 player.
Players, make sure you complete your battles on time! We would prefer to not have to make activity decisions. Please save your replays and pm them to your manager (win or lose). Also, once you have decided on a time with your opponent feel free to advertise it in this thread and the NimbusPL room.
Registration
Do it here
Do not sign up for metagames that you are not willing to play in for multiple weeks of the NPL.
If you would like to edit the metagames you chose then please pm me. Do not submit a second form!
Do not sign up to play for a team if you do not intend to see the tournament through to the end. This includes maintaining a competitive attitude if your team is already eliminated from playoff contention. You never know whether or not winning your end-season matches will make you a more valued player next season, so even if your team isn’t necessarily in the playoff picture anymore, there’s always value in playing your best. Failure to complete matches in a timely manner consistently may result in being barred from future NPL seasons.

The managers are the CEO, President and Board of their team. Their decisions about team business are final. The managers maintain the team finances. Also, the managers should make sure their team completes all their matches each week. Finally, they decide who plays what metagames, however they can not force you to play a metagame you didn't sign up for. If you signed up for a metagame but don't like that your manager asks you to play it that week then you shouldn't have signed up for it.
Draft
Draft Results
The Managers will be drafting their teams in a live auction draft on TBA. The draft will be held in NimbusPL's room on the main Nimbus server. Each manager has a budget of 100,000 "bucks" to spend on their team. Managers may purchase themselves for a fixed fee of 15,000. The starting bid for players is 4,000. The managers must draft at least 9 players onto their team (7 players + 2 subs).
League Stages
Following the Draft, the NPL will commence. The League Stages will consist of a Round Robin format between each team. Each stage will last for 1 week (Monday-Sunday). The Managers must submit their rosters a week in advance so they can be added to this thread We are playing 7 metagames, so there will be a winner and loser in each matchup.
Playoffs
The 4 teams with the best record will be seeded into a "bracket style" playoff. The #1 seed will play the #4 seed, and the #2 seed will play the #3 seed. The victors of these matches will advance to the finals match. The winning team of this match will be declared the ultimate victors of the Nimbus Premier League.
In the event of a tie for a playoff spot the winner of the head-to-head matchup will be given the spot. If there is a 3 way tie, which can not be resolved using head-to-head matchups, then the team(s) with the most total wins throughout the NPL will be given the spot. This emphasizes the importance of playing all your battles to the best of your ability. That one win you get for your team in an overall losing week may make the difference in whether your team makes the playoffs.
The Nimbus Premier League will have it's very own room for discussion of the tournament! Following the draft, players that are selected will be given voice by their managers.
