Season 1

Regular Season

Every Thursday night, the league goes live at 8:00 PM EST. Eight teams, one round robin, everybody plays everybody. Each week you'll run a three-game slate, so there's always something on the line and no waiting around between matchups.

When the round robin wraps, the top six teams punch their ticket to the playoffs. The bottom two are done for the season.

Playoffs

Playoffs are double elimination, and every series is a best of five. The top two seeds earn a first-round bye as a reward for their regular-season run, while seeds three through six fight it out in the opening round.

From there, it's survive and advance. Drop into the lower bracket, and you're still alive, but one more loss sends you home.

Grand Finals

The last team standing in each bracket meets in the Grand Finals, which is also a best-of-five series. Here's the catch: the lower bracket team has to win twice. If they take the first series, the whole thing resets and both teams play a winner-take-all series for the title. The upper bracket team only needs one. That's the advantage you earn by never losing.
