These rules changes will be in place from the start of the 6v6 season (09/06/25). Changes for existing rules are marked in bold.

We are actively discussing other rule changes and there are a few things that we plan to discuss further and make decisions on in the future (once we have gathered feedback and discussed them in-depth). We welcome any suggestions and feedback and will be happy to discuss them going forward. Thank you.

We’ll keep exact dates a bit ambiguous as we’ll determine tournament structures and setups based off feedback from ongoing tournaments. With that kept in mind we’ll aim to announce seasons a bit further in advance confirming potential changes so teams can adjust as needed.

With the group stages now finished, it’s time to move onto the Playoffs! Information regarding tiebreakers and teams advancing into the playoffs can be found below! You can find your upcoming Playoff fixtures under the Playoffs tab or your team page.

If you find yourself on the list of these teams you are expected to be available. If you fail to provide information, or it is insufficient, we will have to decide your match dates for you. Keep in mind that we will try and accommodate both teams, but the match date may still vary from your provided days if for example none of the days matches with your opponent’s, but your opponent offered more days than you did. Deadlines listed for the matches are flexible and may be changed in certain situations if admins are contacted about allowing extensions on these.
