​

Drafting will now begin for the NCA. This will be a snake draft meaning, once we get to the end of the list of people, the last pick gets to then pick first and it goes backwards until the first person gets the last pick that round and the first pick the following round. (the person at the end gets 2 picks in a row)
I randomized the list of names one time so we have a draft order.

Spoiler: ss for proof

The first round of drafting will give you the option to draft a Mega Evolution. If you draft a Pokemon you want to be your Mega Evolution, you will be forced to Mega Evolve this Pokemon in every battle you choose to use it in. Mega Charizard X and Y can be drafted separately. (you will have to specify which one you're drafting)

No Pokemon can be drafted twice. (If someone drafts Tangrowth, it's gone. No one else can draft it.)However, another person can draft the non-mega form of a pokemon that can Mega Evolve but they can not Mega Evolve it. (ie. someone can draft Mega Slowbro r1 and somoene else can draft Slowbro)

Separate forms of Pokemon may be drafted by different people as long as they arent banned. (Regular Hoopa, Rotom forms etc.)


The ban list will be the same as SM OU with the addition of Pheromosa, Greninja, Ash-Greninja, Hoopa-Unbound, Mega Metagross, and Mega Mawile.
Z-Moves will not be used as they can be broken with some Pokemon in this format.

Try to get your draft picks done as soon as possible. If you can't be active during the draft, some of your picks may be picked for you. (not by me) You can get a friend to draft a Pokemon for you if you think you won't be active around your time to pick, but no one else in the tournament can.

Due to the amount of Pokemon being drafted (176) I can't give a 24 hour limit as that would take about half a year. I'm considering doing 2 hours max so please try being as active as possible.

You will be allowed 3 trades whether it be with someone else or trading for an undrafted Pokemon. You can only use one trade each round. The draft will start as soon as the first person drafts their Pokemon.

It is recommended you nickname your Pokemon and keep up with which Pokemon pick up KOs.

After the draft, people will be randomly split into four groups of four to begin the round robin league.

Here is the draft order. Please try to have your Pokemon drafted as soon as possible so we can continue, thank you.​

I mean, how are we gonna draft? Do we have to post the pokemon that we want here?

 

yes
@Casparov you are up

 

Lol
This gonna take really long

 

If this doesn't begin tomorrow, I'm considering getting someone to draft our Pokemon for us.

 

Rape (on my draft spot) but we should make this into a discord chat

+ it'd help with contacting and knowing when everyone plays so we can watch ​

 

I sent multiple group pm's with a discord link, please check and join as soon as you get it.

 

Due to a couple people not being active and holding up the draft, they were moved to the end of the line for now. if they remain inactive, they will be removed and/or replaced.

 

subbed heemz in over @Marcelo Rodrigues due to activity.
