Getting Started
Create an account to use the Deck Builder and Tournament Tracker. If you want to play on a team, follow these steps to join the league.
Head to the registration page and create your account with a display name, email, and password. You can use the tools immediately. To enter the team player pool, continue to Join the League.
- Your display name is what other players and admins will see throughout the app.
- You can update your display name and time zone any time from your profile.
League players with no qualifying tournament results start at 100 PR. Check this season's tournament history when you join.
PR (Player Rating) is how the league measures player strength and determines team composition budgets.
- Everyone starts at 100 PR. The range is 100–600.
- PR moves after every completed match based on your result and the rating gap between you and your opponent.
- Use the PR Calculator to estimate how much PR you'd gain or lose in any matchup.
If you have already played as a substitute in a previous match, your PR is already in the system. Do not attempt to reset it.
Teams are assembled by captains each season. To get picked up:
- Browse the Free Agents list — your profile is visible there once you join the league.
- Check the Teams page to see which rosters have open spots.
- Reach out directly to a team captain if you're interested in joining their team.
