    THIS IS FOR MANAGER SIGN UPS ONLY

    The main goal of this thread is to assign the eight managers for the teams. Keep in mind that you have to be available on October 8th at 11 pm(GMT) to sign up. We will be doing the draft then, and if you can’t attend it will severely hamper the progress of the tournament.

    In addition, each manager will have the option to select one Co-Manager to help them with player selection. If something pops up for the Manager, the assistant will have the ability to do all jobs that the Manager could perform, including drafting players and making substitutions.

    The Managers goal is to come up with a diverse team that is able to perform well in all aspects of competitive Pokemon. They will be tasked with drafting a team that has a player for Wifi Ubers, Wifi UU, Wifi LU, Wifi NU, DPP OU, ADV OU, and two players for Wifi OU. Don’t you are also able to select two substitutes that can fill into any slot and you can switch players around freely in between weeks.

    If you are considering apply for a managerial position you must meet the following criteria:
    • Highly Active on the Server
    • Have Knowledge of a Majority of the Supported Metagames
    • Be in Good Standing With the Community
    • Be Free on Saturday, October 8th at 11 pm(GMT)


    In addition Managers will have the ability to play in the Tournament if they wish, but if that is the case they will have to use there own first pick on themselves. The job for Assistant Manager is about the same as the managers', only the manager will get preference over the assistant. The assistant will help out with recruiting, testing, managing activity, etc.

    Assistant Managers will be choose by the Manager anytime before Draft day. If a Manager elects to not choose an Assistant Manager that is their choice, but keep in mind that it will not be possible to choose one at a later point.

    If you plan to apply for a Manager position please fill out the following form and post it in the thread. Please refrain from posting if you are not apply for a Manager or Assistant Manager position.

    Note that we will be basing the teams on the teams that are in group play for the Champions League right now. You can find a full list here. The format for the name is "Team Name" "Pokemon Name". For example Valencia Zubats.

    So for example mine would look like this:

    What position are you applying for? Manager
    What times are you commonly on the server? 3 PM to 12 PM
    What Timezone are you in GMT? -5
    What Meta-Games do you Play? Wifi OU, Wifi UU, Adv OU, VGC 2012
    What are your first and second choice for the team name? Valencia Zubats or Barcelona Bouffalants
    Why should you be choose as a Manager? Despite me only playing Wifi OU competitively consistantly I have a diverse knowledge on many of the high level players on the server and one of the tier leaders of Wifi OU. I have achieved suspect rights on Smogon in Wifi OU 4 times, Wifi UU 1 Time, and Adv one Time. In addition I have also topped the VGC 2011 #tournament leaderboard, and I hope that knowledge can translate over to VGC 2012.

    Thank you for taking the time and reading this thread. Even if you aren’t selected as a manger you still have a chance to play in the tournament as a player.

    Seriously though, I'm only applying coz I have a feeling there will be a severe lack of good candidates, so only give me a manager spot if that happens. I would rather stick to playing.

    Well, here are my answers to the Manager application. Hopefully I'm chosen to be 1 & good luck to all that apply!

    What position are you applying for? Manager
    What times are you commonly on the server? 2pm - 5am
    What Timezone are you in GMT? -7
    What Meta-Games do you Play? Wifi Ubers, Wifi UU, DPP OU, Adv OU, VGC 2012, & Wfi OU

    Why should you be choose as a Manager? I would make a great Manager as I'm on the server daily. I have won many tournaments & posses extensive knowledge on various tiers. I also know many Pro players on the Pokémon Online server plus I'm well organized, punctual, & responsible so I will have no problem managing my team.[/HIDE]

    Why should you be choose as a Manager? I think I should be manager because I am on the server a lot and well known by everyone. I have won a lot of tournaments on the server and I have a vast knowledge of the tiers. I have peaked number #1 on PO in Wifi OU and #5 in DPP OU. I have also acheived suspect rights on smogon just last week. I have lots of friends on the server so getting my team would be no problem.

    ALL MANAGERS, keep this in mind, this is not like the team showdown where forming a team and naming it was very simple. Stick to this theme.

    We are going to have logos for these as well.

    Guys, the plural of Pokemon is Pokemon, not Pokemons; and the same thing applies to each individual pokemon's name. That being said, for team names it definitely sounds better the grammatically incorrect way. E.g. "Barcelona Blazikens" sounds better than "Barcelona Blaziken" so I'm not sure what is going to be done about when it comes time to select the actual names.

    Also, click here for a list of football/soccer clubs and here for a list of Pokemon in alphabetical order. And try to make your names sound nice ffs (protip: alliteration is good here (eg. The Arsenal Arceus)).

    What position are you applying for? - Well this is the manager sign up thread and you clearly said in the OP to only post for signing up as a manager, so I would like to apply for a spot in the cheerleader squad. (Yeah this question is useless)

    What times are you commonly on the server? - From 2 pm to 2 am (I'm never online 12 hours none-stop but I don't have an specific online time so meh)

    What Timezone are you in GMT?- -4.5 GMT

    What Meta-Games do you Play? - Important ones for this tour: Wifi Ubers, Wifi UU, Wifi LU, Wifi NU, Wifi OU. Others: DPP UU, DPP NU, Wifi LC, Doubles, Triples, DW OU, DW UU.

    What are your first and second choice for the team name? - Barcelona Bisharps and Chelsea Lucarios.

    Why should you be choose as a Manager? - I'm a really versatile player, capable of playing (and dominating) multiple tiers and game styles. My team building skills are way above the rest, proven by my success in the past (IFM knows everything I've done so not going to waste my time writing it). If I get picked as a manager I'll use my use my knowledge in this game to pick the players for my team and help them to be prepared for their matches, helping them building teams, playing test matches, etc. Also when I play, I play to win regardless of what I'm playing, so you can expect me to do all I can to win this thing.

    Also people, ffs, can you at least try to read the OP before posting.

    PS: If I get picked you better give me Barça or I'm kicking your asses @Tour directors.

    What position are you applying for? Manager
    What times are you commonly on the server? 9 PM-11PM during the week, most of the day on weekends
    What Timezone are you in GMT? +2
    What Meta-Games do you Play? Wifi UU/LU/NU, Wifi OU(on rare occasions)
    What are your first and second choice for the team name? London Sharpedos(this may change)
    Why should you be choose as a Manager? Self-promotion is lame so I'll just post facts: #1 in Wifi UU/LU(DW LU when it existed as well), #3 in DW UU, 1428 in OU. (Ladder means nothing anyway though, so yeah...). I know a fair amount of players who play each of the Metagames which will be played, so drafting should not pose a problem.

    Umm, note* This application is ONLY if you don't get enough good managers otherwise since I'd like to go in the draft becuz curious how rated.

    What position are you applying for? - Are you allowed to apply for other positions in this thread?
    What times are you commonly on the server? - 10-1AM GMT-5 also sporadic other times when bored (which is a lot) and during Physics lecture *see bored comment.
    What Timezone are you in GMT? -5 Eastern Time, Midwest USA represent.
    What Meta-Games do you Play? - VGC 2012 lol who even has a team for the other tiers? Singles sucks. Although I happen to be at least competent at Wifi Ubers and ADV OU.
    What are your first and second choice for the team name? - Chelsea Charizards, Torino Typhlosion
    Why should you be choose as a Manager? - I know every regular in #Tournaments and am competitive enough to not drop due to activity.

    I am applying as manager only because this thread is manager-only: if I don't get picked (which is quite likely to happen) I would like to be a vice-manager (or however that position is called) since I have lots of good ideas for the "visual" spect of a team (Logo, video promo, "uniforms"). So please future manager, remember me when the time comes!
    [SECRET]Manager (what is this thread's topic? :p)

    I can be on the server litterally from dawn to sunset if required, but not during week-ends (I will be free the required saturday tho)
    GMT+1

    I commonly play Wifi UU, OU and Ubers, where I am quite skilled (peaked #7, #38, and #6 under K9999 alt respectively, and Jeanez or Vaporeon or whatever, I HAD DEFEATED YOU), but sadly I am a total noob in any other meta

    Dinamo Delibirds, or Trabzonspor Tyranitars (there is an "italian" reason why I picked Trabzonspor... An FC Internazionale's supporter will understand)

    I should be in the organizative core of a team, since I am very skilled at managing everybody's duties, organize meetings, prepare strategies etc. Furthermore, I have lots of very good ideas about the "visual" part of a team. However, my limited knowledge of PO's metagames keeps me off the race: if I don't get chosen I would like to be a second manager (or vice-manager or whatever the name is) since I feel that is the role I would fit most. Just remember me when the time comes![/SECRET]

    About the Jeanez or Vaporeon or whatever part, I was joking ofc :p (BUT I HAD WON IT IS NOT MY FAULT IF I HAD TO GO YOU CHEATED enter other noobish whinings here)

    What position are you applying for? Manager of the winning team.


    What times are you commonly on the server? I can be on when I need to be. Weekday mornings and afternoons would be my first choice but I am flexible and willing to work with everyone.


    What Timezone are you in GMT? GMT -4


    What Meta-Games do you Play? ADV OU is definitely my specialty and my most played, but that's not to say that I am not knowledgeable about several others. I'd consider myself in the loop for Gen 4 OU and Wifi OU and I can pick up metagames quickly. I'm a clever lad.


    What are your first and second choice for the team name? I'm awful at things like this... How about "Winning!" (shoutout to Charlie Sheen and foreshadowing our teams future) and "Global Pikachu" (Because I don't want to specify one particular area in the world as I appreciate racial and cultural diversity and will be selecting players from all over the place and also because Pikachu is a pretty safe choice. Who doesn't love Pikachu???)


    Why should you be choose as a Manager? Because I know that should say "chosen" instead of "choose". Also because I am the ADV OU Gym Leader for the Pokemon Online League who has played 28 gym matches in just over a month, showing that I am extremely active and easy to set up matches with, and I've come out with better than an 85% win rate, which at gym level play is at least respectable. I'm well known, respected, and liked within the community and I feel many players would be happy to be on my team. I also don't believe that I know everything. I know what I don't know. I'm willing to do the research and put the time in to put my players in the best position possible to win.

    What position are you applying for? Manager, duh
    What times are you commonly on the server? I used to be active a lot but now school started and I'm a bit more busy. I'm online in the afternoon and sometimes a bit in the evening.
    What Timezone are you in GMT? GMT +1 Italy
    What Meta-Games do you Play? All Gen 4 bar LC. All Gen 5 bar LC. Some of Adv OU and GSC OU.
    What are your first and second choice for the team name? The Hurricane Squad! Or Seattle Shuckle!
    Why should you be choose as a Manager? I have a very good knowledge of most of the players on the server, I used to ladder a lot but now I kinda got bored of Pokemon so I stopped playing it. Highest peak on the Wifi OU ladder was 1666 before the reset. I've also laddered a lot in Wifi UU, getting over 1500. Reached the top 15 in DP OU when it was the main tier on the server. Also I think I would make a good leader because I played in all the tiers that this tournament has so I should be able to help my teammates along the way.
