  The GIF has a limit on how far it will count down before it restarts. If a GIF ran for more than 24 hours, it would be massive. Just refresh the page and you'll get the latest GIF.

  Semi-final results are in!
  wqtermxlon and _FroznBee are both progressing to the next round and will be facing each other for the final 1v1 of the season.
  
  Bracket
  
  Apologies for the delay in the season, a few of our contestants either got sick or very busy and we had to grant some extensions to the deadline. We are now back on track and moving the season forward.
  
  A big thanks and congratulations to all the other participants of the season. You all did well for making it as far as you did in the bracket. SSPBL is not an easy competition, so your very participation is note worthy.
  
  Redemption Jam
  Our S8 Redemption Jam is still ongoing. Those eliminated in Week 4 are now allowed to enter. Even if you didn't participate in the season, you can still enter!
  The Redemption Jam deadline will be extended to match with when Season 8 ends.

FAQs
How does PBL work?
1. Making use of the palette and its ruleset, you must create and publish a skin within the deadline. You have from when the palette goes live (Typically a Monday or Tuesday) until the following Saturday (or the given deadline) to publish your skin.
The palette can be at the top of this groups home page, or in the #stream-server-pbl channel in our Discord server! If you have any further questions or are looking for feedback on your skin, this is the place to go!
2. After the preliminary round, contestants will be paired up with an opponent whom they will face in a public poll. This poll determines who moves on to the next round.

! If you find you're unable to make a skin within the official deadline, notify Zitzabis. Extensions can be given TO AN EXTENT, never more than 24 hours.

! If you fail to make a skin in time, you'll automatically be disqualified and your opponent will move on to the next round uncontested.

3. If all goes well and both you and your opponent have uploaded your skins, one of you must then create a forum thread containing a poll that runs for 24 hours. The winner of this poll moves on to the following week, with a new palette and ruleset.

Here is a good example of how one of these threads should look.

4. All skins created must comply with the PMC submission rules.
How do I enter?
Sign-up is simple! Create and upload a skin utilising 12 OR LESS colours from this week's palette, before the deadline and you're qualified! No need to worry about opponents or polls until week 1 begins.

You can always find the up-to-date palette and its accompanying gimmick in this post. Once you have uploaded your skin, you can either tag Zitzabis, or post your skin in our guest book to be sure that one of us sees it.

Sign-ups are only available during the preliminary period of PBL, if week 1 has already begun, you'll have to wait until the season ends. You will be able to submit sign-ups once the new season's preliminary phase begins. This will be announced via wall posts.
What's a gimmick?
Historically, PBL had always offered a grid of 16 colours from which contestants may only use 12 in their skin. However, season 4 shook things up!

Each week's palette will feature its own unique accompany gimmick that must also be taken into consideration. These will increase in complexity as the season progresses, which should hopefully keep skinners on their feet and produce some more unique and memorable rounds!

The current week's gimmick can be found alongside the palette on the group page.
How do I make a poll?
How to make PBL Polls - Click me!
Above is a guide on how to make PBL Polls yourself.
SSPBL operates using a neutral account to create the polls for the contestants. So you can ignore this part unless you are wanting to host your own PBL format.
When do I post the poll?
You should post the poll as soon as everyone in your grouping has made their skins. If earlier in the week, you may set the poll duration to 2 days. But if close to the deadline please set it to 1 day.
What if my opponent didn't post a skin?
Please allow your opponent enough time to make an entry. They might be busy with IRL stuff and don't have the time to make a skin until close to the deadline.

You will not be disqualified if your opponent does not make a skin. Please contact a member of the SSPBL team if you find yourself in this situation and we will provide more information.

SSPBL Community Gimmicks / Palettes / Suggestions

Who are we?

More information on how SSPBL works found HERE
If any contributions are used, credit will be given to the creator(s). We may mix palettes on occasion, combine ideas, etc.
There is also no limit to how many times you can contribute a gimmick or palette. The more the better!
Gimmicks
Contribute ideas for gimmicks that we could implement and use in SSPBL. These can range from:

a new way of selecting colors from a palette
a new limitation imposed on competitors, e.g., 6 colors instead of 12
any other ways to shake things up here at SSPBL

Palettes
Contribute palettes you have created.
The number of colors in your palette does not matter, as long as it is more than 2.

If you haven't made a PBL style palette before, KnobleKnives provides an excellent guide on their method of selecting colors:
Color Theory 101, Hue Shifting, Palettes, and STUFF!

Images can be hosted on any image hosting site such as Imgur. We ask that you post an upscaled version to help people view the colors easier. 3x3 images are hard to see in browsers and PMC's image scaling won't do it justice.

Suggestions
Feel free to contribute any other suggestions, ideas or concepts you would like to see used in SSPBL. We want to give the community more impact on SSPBL by posting palettes and ideas, and in true PBL style, have people give emeralds to the ideas or palettes they like best.
