PRO DRAFT LEAGUE 2!

[Aggs]

 

Welcome to the 2nd iteration of the PRO Draft League, hosted by the Unofficial PRO Tournament Discord!

 

As our previous League, hosted by Ascension, had a pretty satisfactory outcome, we have decided to bring it again, but with

an even bigger Prize Pool than before!

 

What is a Draft League?

 

A Pokemon Draft League, similar to a Sports Draft, will start off by participants picking Pokemon, determined by a randomly generated seed, based on the Tiers Pokemon are placed in. This is the Drafting Phase.

Afterwards, participants will be placed into 2 Groups, and will play matches with other players in their own groups. Until a certain week, players may make legal trades, whether with Pokemon left, or with other players. This is called the Group Stage.

Once the Group Stage has finished, which will be dependent on the amount of players in a draft, a Top Cut will be selected based on win/loss records for the Final Stage.

The Final Stage will be a Single Elimination Bracket, where the Top Participant of each Group will have a Bye, or will get to skip the first round.

 

Please Note!

 

A Draft League takes quite a while to finish (the previous one taking approximately 4 months), so If you ARE interested, please take time into consideration.

Drafting

 

 

Players' positions in the Drafting Phase will be randomized through Random.org. Players will then, in the order created through Random.org, pick Pokemon from Tiers 1-5 to fill their draft. Each Player MUST pick 1 Pokemon from Each Tier. There are also 4 Free Agent slots, which you may fill up with any Tier, but costs Points:

 

Tier 1 : 180 Pts.

Tier 2 : 120 Pts.

Tier 3 : 100 Pts.

Tier 4 : 60 Pts.

Tier 5 : 40 Pts.

 

Everyone also gets to pick ONLY 1 Pokemon that will be forced to Mega Evolve if used. This Pokemon is separate from the other picks. These also have tiers:

 

Tier 1 Mega : 40 Pts.

Tier 2 Mega : 0 Pts.

Tier 3 Mega : +40 Pts.

 

Everyone starts with a total of 400 Points. You do not have to use all your points, and you do not need to use all of your Free Agent Slots. You also do not have to pick Pokemon in order of their Tiers, as long as you have 1 Mega Pokemon, and a Pokemon from Each Tier by the end of the Draft.

 

Prize Pool

 

So far, a planned total of 7.2m has been put towards this Draft League. Entry Fees will also contribute to the Prize Pool, with an expected total Prize Pool of 12m, being divided among 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th places:

 

[spoiler=Expected Prize]1st - 6.8m

2nd - 3.3m

3rd - 1.5m

4th - 400k

 

3rd and 4th places will be determined by having the losers of the Semi Finals fight.

 

Examples

 

Here will be some examples of how the Draft League previously took place, and what you can expect.
