  • Champions will compete to record their best 5 Tournaments in a row from a maximum of 25 Tournaments in each Battle Class. Champions can fight and earn points for any LB/Battle Class; but only qualify for one (1) Class at the deadline. Priority will be given to the highest Battle Class.
    • Champions can continue to enter Tournaments after their 25 are exhausted, however they will not gain/lose any further points. Standard T&Cs apply.
