Captains

6 captains chosen by DUPR + Pana scouting, auto-locked as P1. Pick order is randomized, and a captain can claim ANY draft slot.

02

Snake draft

Everyone else enters one pool. 3 rounds, 18 picks, snake order. Chemistry and roster construction win championships.

03

Play for it all

Round-robin into playoffs: 3 random opponents, 6 games guaranteed. Last team standing takes the crown.

Match = 4 games

P1 & P2P3 & P4P1 & P3P2 & P4

Dreambreaker: Semis & finals only, if tied 2–2: P1 & P4 play to 6 (all four rotate teams whenever a side hits 6), then P2 & P3 finish to 11, win by 2.
