Organizer guide - Swiss Unity League
Abstract
The Swiss Unity League is an independent ranking system for Disney Lorcana events in Switzerland.
Players collect League Points to qualify for the SUL: Lorcana Championship.
Eligible events
Events must fulfill the following requirements to award League Points for the Swiss Unity League.
- Played with Disney Lorcana cards
- Held in real life (no online events)
- Open to the public (anyone can participate)
Both official stores and independent organizers (clubs/associations) may participate. Events can be held in all formats and structures.
Choose an event type
Each Lorcana event has a point multiplier, 1x by default. Stores may request higher multipliers to give events more visibility, award more points, and offer invites to the SUL: Lorcana Championship.
We recommend the following multipliers.
-
By default all your weekly events are Local
-
We recommend upgrading weekly events to District on a monthly basis. This will attract players from other districts to attend them.
-
For Store Championships we also recommend the type District
-
Once each season you can host a Premier event to attract players from all over Switzerland.
The fees you pay are used to finance the prizes of the SUL: Lorcana Championship at the end of the year.
You can also participate for free by running all of your events with type Local.

Frequently asked questions
For a Top 8 
finals event, we recommend the following structure:
- Single elimination playoff with 3 rounds.
- Each match is best of 3.
- Players are paired randomly right before the event starts.
- Untimed rounds.
- The higher ranked player on the league leaderboard chooses who plays first.
Organizers may also choose a different structure for their finals.
Finals invitations are offered in leaderboard order. Players must have a registered Unity League account to be eligible. If a player declines the invitation or is not registered, it passes down to the next eligible player on the leaderboard.
No. Stores, clubs, associations, and independent organizers can all participate.
Events need to be public, played with Disney Lorcana cards, and held in real life.
We send a combined invoice by email every few months. Organizers pay it by bank transfer or PayPal.
Unpaid invoices may also be shown as a reminder when you log in.
We recommend a separate organizer profile for each entity that regularly runs events, such as a local game store.
This keeps each store's events, leagues, and billing separate.
If you occasionally run events at different venues, those events can usually stay under the same organizer profile.
Participating events can be run in any Lorcana format, including formats that are not officially supported.
If your format is not listed on our website, please let us know and we will add it.
Eligible events are public, real-life tournaments played with physical Disney Lorcana cards.
Players must be able to participate directly or qualify through a public process.
To award points, events must meet these requirements:
- The event must be publicly advertised.
- The event must be held in real life, not online.
- At least 4 players must participate and play at least one round.
- The full standings should be reported.
You can always run events as 
events if you only want the default multiplier.
If you are unsure whether an event is eligible, please contact us.
We use several methods to keep the league fair:
- Players use the same identifier on Swiss Unity League that they use in tournaments, so communities can verify who attends events.
- Our fraud detection checks events and results for suspicious patterns.
- We review suspicious cases manually and may ban players or organizations that try to manipulate the league.
Swiss Unity League is operated by Mana Grid GmbH and led by passionate founders Jari Rentsch and Dae-Jin Rhee. It started as a community project in Switzerland and grew from the idea that local events are more exciting when every result can be part of something bigger.
The league only works because organizers, players, and local communities keep showing up.
