Organizer League

Turn your weekly League events into a seasonal competition.

1. Weekly league events

Host a League event each week in the same format.

2. Local leaderboard

Run your own leaderboard where only your League events count.

3. Top 8 Playoff

After 15 - 52 events, host a finals for the top 8. Winner earns a SUL: Lorcana Championship qualification.

Requirements

  1. For each League you need to announce at least 15 League events (one per week) . If an event needs to be cancelled, there's no penalty.
  2. To award a qualification for the SUL: Lorcana Championship, a League needs 150+ total participations, defined as the sum of participants across all League events.
  3. If the League ends with fewer than 150 total participations, you may obtain the qualification for a contribution of 1€ per missing participation.
Example: Let's say 3 of 15 events get cancelled due to low attendance. So 12 League events take place, each with 10 participants. That's a total of 120 participations, so you can get the National qualification for 30€.

SUL: Lorcana Championship

Is the grand finale of the SUL: Lorcana. It serves as a reward to motivate players to participate in your local events.

Financing

The contributions across Switzerland will help cover the expenses for the SUL: Lorcana Championship.
