The Los Angeles Nidokings are going to take the cup 
Anyways a couple of people like myself and Tygaa2 talked about making a league of sorts buts wanted it to be exclusive to long-time members from the Forum/Replay partly 2 reasons. First being we don't want this league to collapse similar to how the season 1 of the Dodrio cup did were most of the newer people left and second since we already know each at least somewhat well. We should open this up for the second season if there is continued support. Now as far as drafting is concerned, I've figured there are 3 solutions to this. First off, we can just go by a drafting Pokemon however we feel like (disregarding tiers/placements) and our work is almost cut in half. The second option 2nd option is if we could draft the Pokemon based on this on the user LatiosRider datamine of the Pokemon Global Link stats and use it as a basis for the tiers.
On a final note, I propose that there should be some bans in this league considering we'll be restricting ourselves between 8-12 Pokemon each and we cannot cover for everything in the meta. I'm just gonna throw this out there, but in a league format like this Dark Void and Psych-Up Minimize (or evasion if we want to go that far) should be banned from the start so there is no "auto-win" for anyone using this. Perish Trap (Shadow Tag/Arena Trap + Perish Song) is debatable but I'll leave that open for discussion if people don't want this strategy used. That's basically my thoughts about the league so I'm eager to see where this goes from here.
