Regular Season

  1. Initial team placements will be based on MMR from the previous season and Board judgement.
  2. Consists of six (6), two (2) week cycles containing two (2) matches each cycle.
  3. Teams will be placed in tiers each cycle based on MMR.

Playoffs

  1. The Playoffs will consist of eight (8) teams:
    1. At season’s end, teams will be reseeded into tiers based off end season Seed Ranking.
    2. The top six (6) seeds will be based off of Seed Ranking.
    3. The final two (2) seeds will be filled from the Wildcard Tournament
  2. Seed Ranking ties between teams will be broken by winner of the head-to-head match-up, then by highest team K/D.

Wildcard Tournament

  1. This tournament will involve the seventh (7th) through tenth (10th) seeds by Seed Ranking per tier (due to the amount of teams in season 5, only the 8th and 9th seeds in the Sprinter tier will have a wildcard game for the 8th playoff seed).
    1. 7th vs 8th seed winner will advance to the 7th seed in the Playoffs.
    2. 9th vs 10th seed winner will face the loser from the 7th vs 8th seed game, and the winner from that game will advance to the 8th seed in the Playoffs.
  2. Tournament match rules will typically follow regular season match rules.
