We are excited to announce the 2024 Flex League City Championships! There are new prizes, additional chances to compete in Verified matches, and a Playoff advancement system.
At the end of each Flex League event, the top two players in each division will qualify for the City Championships, where they will compete in a bracket against other event qualifiers with a similar UTR Rating to be named the Flex League Season Champion. Playoff matchups will be announced and occur after the end of each Season (event sessions 1-4 will compete in Season 1 CC, while event sessions 5-8 will compete in Season 2 CC). City Championship matches are in a Flexible format similar to the regular session matches. All City Championship winners and runner-ups will receive prizes, in addition to bragging rights!
The Season 1 City Championships will begin July 10th, 2024, and Season 2 City Championships will take place in January 2025. Please look for emails with more information on final dates and guidelines.
