Championships

What is a Championship?
A championship is our form of a ladder tournament. The championship challenge system operates like professional boxing, where teams can only challenge teams higher than them in the rankings. If the challenge is accepted and the challenging team wins the match, they will take the rank of the defending team. However, if the challenge is accepted and either the defending team wins or the match results in a draw, the defending team will keep their position. Should the challenge not be accepted, the defending team will forfeit.
How long do Championships last?
Championships are ongoing and do not have a set end date. A championship can continue indefinitely with new teams able to join at any time.
Where do new teams start in the rankings?
New teams will start at the bottom of the rankings, as 'unranked'. This means that they will be able to challenge any other 'unranked' team or a team above them in the rankings within a range defined by the organiser.
