Hey all! I still may be new and not post a lot, but recently I had gotten interested in starting my own Draft League to play with some people and even get to know some. Now, I don't know if its allowed to post this sort of thing here, however... if so, I am looking for 11 people to start a team draft! If we go over 12 people we can still have you around for other stuff or just to chill and enjoy how the games are going.

I have made a discord displaying all the rules and such, and simply to join you can message me or reply below to apply:
1. Discord Name: -----#----
2. Team Name:

I hope you all see interest and I can't wait to hear you all!
[btw, I'll send the server invite to your Discord.]

So I did get 5 posts, so here are the tiers. I am using Pokemon Amino's tier list since I like it :P However the Pick System was custom made.

Oh shoot, I forgot Mega, I am lowering a free and its points, and adding mega,

I'm interested in joining but I have a question regarding the A tier. It seems that there is nothing indicating what pokemon are in the A tier. So once that is shown, I'll just need to think of a clever name for a sports team near me.

Hey guys, what's stopping us from starting our draft league now. We have eight people, enough people to do the draft and a decent time for matches and playoffs. Could be done by the end of the year.
