๐๐จ Showdown Tournament FAQโฆ
How many teams are in my division?
Itโs a great question and itโs not a definite number at this point.
We keep the division open to all levels AA, A, B and House select and then we start shaping the divisions. We start by screening the teams that applied to determine how many divisions at each age and caliber.
We strive for smaller divisions rather than 10 or more, to ensure we have a more competitive experience. This also allows for more Champions. You will know how many teams are in your division after the team screening is complete. For an estimate, itโs usually 4-8.
P.S. Have a question for us, please send us your tournament questions in the DM. Every question is a good question and we want you to have a great time at the Showdown.
