The Open League
Running a competitive PMC is no small feat, and keeping them going consistently through an ongoing competition can also be hard work. While the managers of the teams involved in the Superstar League will tell you it has its own rewards, there are some who need more immediate gratification and can’t commit to an ongoing event.
It is for such people that the Open Leagues were created. An Open League is a tournament with no set fixture schedule, no winners and no losers. It is a chance for PMC teams to come together and play a bunch of matches at their own leisure.
Something different
“So how is this different to a PMC friendly match” I hear you cry. Well, there are a few differences. Firstly, there is a list of fixtures drawn up with only those teams who have entered and been accepted taking part. There are two legs to each fixture, so the same two teams cannot play against each other more than once within the Open League, this encourages teams to play a variety of opponents.
More importantly, as these still class as tournament matches then there are Experience and FSD end of match rewards for all teams who play.
Open now!
Most Open leagues are one night events, condensed like this to mean more teams are online and ready to play. However, this week we are launching the first week-long Open League events.
Joining these events could not be simpler. All you need to do is head on over to the Tournament Homepage and sign up to the event of your choice. Look there now and you’ll see the event for tomorrow night, as well as the 730 and 1130 7-day events. The real beauty of an Open League is that it requires minimal commitment or obligation. You can play as much or as little as you like within the event. The results and tables are purely for your own interest, as there is no winner or loser within such an event.
So, if you are a manager of a PMC then you have nothing to lose. Sign up and get involved. It’s a great chance to mingle with some new teams and to get some practice in for the serious competitions.
