Hello everyone, welcome to the inaugural Apex Premier League! AXPL is an A Place to Hangout discord server-based event. It is a team tournament with unique formats. Teams are formed through an auction where the chosen captains of each team buy the registered players that they desire. First, there will be a round robin between the eight teams for seven weeks to qualify for the playoffs, where the top four teams battle to determine who will be tournament's champion. This tournament is part of the APTH Circuit!

The main rules and structure of the tournament are as follows:
  • Each Team shall ideally have 8 starting players and atleast 2 substitutes.
  • The auction budget for each team is of 100k.
  • Both Managers can self-buy. If only one manager self buys it'll cost 10k. If both decide to play it'll cost 25k.
  • Each team can have a maximum of 14 players.
  • The top 2 players with the best win percentage from the teams that didn't qualify for playoffs will get randomly migrated to one of the qualifying teams.
  • Correspondingly, the playoffs will be played with 10 starters i.e. 10v10 playoffs.
  • The general forum tournament rules will loosely apply to this tournament.
  • It is heavily recommended for every participant to join the A Place to Hangout discord server for timely updates!
  • Reminder that there is no CA prize to this tournament!

The Tiers for this iteration of AXPL are:
  • Ban for Ban Random Battle: Unique Bring 10 Pick 6 Random Battles Best of 3 where from a players team one pokemon is randomly banned and one pokemon is manually banned by the opponent. Example Game.
  • Auction: Draft of 8 Pokemon with one tera captain formed through Auction pre-tournament to be used throughout in 6v6 singles battles.
  • Limit Break: Battle in a new tier every week with teams needing to be formed under a given cumulative BST limit. More info.
  • Same Solo: Best of 3 with three unique Pokemon in a Monopoke 1v1 style.
  • Same SolOM: Best of 3 with three unique Pokemon in a Monopoke 1v1 style with the tiers being Almost Any Ability, Camomons and Alphabet Cup.
  • Same Duo: Best of 3 with three unique pairs of Pokemon in a 2v2 doubles style.
  • Same Six: Battle with same team of Pokemon in singles.
  • Doubles Same Six: Battle with same team of Pokemon in doubles.
  • Bonus Formats for Play-offs: Same Trio (triples 3v3) and SV OU Cloak And Dagger (protect given pokemon).

Team Name: [REDACTED] Rowlets
Manager: DragonPhoenix333
Assman (Assistant Manager): bleahey
Why would you make a Good Manager?: Hello, we are back from managing and winning HGPL III and we're hungry for more. I'm sure our players can attest that we fostered a good environment in the server (hopefully....), and we're hoping to do it again. The Foot Doctor is also a commonplace sight in TMG, hmmm, I wonder how many of these tiers are related to TMG... I think that me and bleahey would be well-prepared for managing, again, proven by winning HGPL III. And to quote the GPT, "we will strive to create an engaging and enjoyable experience for all participants while upholding the integrity of the competition."

Assistant Manager: seroo
Why would you make a Good Manager?: We have a ton of managing experience, spanning over tons of different tours. I have managed a few off site team tours, as well as the last APTH team tour, that being HGPL III. I also managed HGPL I and did very well. I consistently do okay as a manager and I know how to run a team. Seroo has heaps of experience managing, having managed several tours, such as TPP, UWC, UMPL, DWC, NDWC and is managing the current ADVPL. Clearly he has managed big tours, and knows how to run a succesful team. We are also experienced with the formats, Seroo having been tmg staff for a good while and me having played in a bunch of the tours hosted by Sundays. I've been in the APTH server for a while and am former staff.

TLDR: We are no strangers to how a team should be run , we think we have a decently good understanding at the tier at hands and we know the community base pretty well
