Hey all! Over the summer I decided it would be fun to take part in a small, informal draft tournament. Here's basically how it works:
1. Each person alternates picking pokemon in a snake draft
2. You must pick a tier 1, a tier 2, two tier 3, a tier 4, and a tier 5 mon.
3. You must draft ONLY one mega
4. You spend the remaining 400 points among drafting 4 remaining mons (Tier 1s are 180, Tier 2s are 120, Tier 3s are 100, Tier 4s are 60, and tier 5s are 40.)
5. After the draft you may pick two of your pokemon to be your designated Z-Crystal holders. You don't need to bring a z-crystal on them each week but they're the only ones who can have it.
As a result, you get 11 pokemon, and then bring 6 of them with different movesets to fight a predetermined opponent who did the same thing. There's a whopping 12 rounds in this tournament, and unless I get an overwhelming amount of negative feedback about it, I'll be reporting how well I do on the site!
I drafted (in this order)
Excadrill [Tier 1] <Z Crystal Holder>
Tapu Fini [Tier 1]
Kyurem (Regular) [Tier 3]
Mega Tyranitar [Mega] (+20 points for drafting a lower tier mega)
Trevenant [Tier 4]
Porygon-Z [Tier 3] <Z Crystal Holder>
Cloyster [Tier 3]
Stoutland [Tier 5]
Klefki [Tier 2]
Galvantula [Tier 3]
Lampent [Tier 5]
During the league I'm hoping to trade off Lampent for Charizard [Tier 5], which was picked two picks before I was going to pick it. I'm also hoping to obtain Gigalith [Tier 3] at some point during the league.
Stay tuned for the week 1 post!
