Introduction
Pacific League returns yet again for its sixth iteration! As a reminder, Pacific League is our American-focused squad tournament for Friday nights.
Format and Schedule
For Season 6, we will continue using the WCL format. A multiple 6-team division double round robin tournament with teams split up based on their skill level, every week will consist of 2 back to back matches on Friday evenings at 9:00pm EDT and 10:00pm EDT. For Australian and Japanese teams, matches will take place on Saturday mornings at 11:00am AEST (or 10:00 JST) and 12:00pm AEDT (or 11:00 JST).
Player and Team Eligibility
We will be keeping the eligibility rules the same as they were for Pacific League Season 5. In most cases, teams that sign up must contain a minimum of 9 players that reside on at least one of the following continents:
- North America
- South America
- Oceania
- Asia (Japan only)
Now, what does this mean for European players? Well, we will largely be prohibiting European dominant teams from participating, however European dominant teams may be granted entry into the tournament on a case-by-case basis if they satisfy at least one of the following conditions:
- The registered Pacific League squad is an established European dominant team who is currently participating in MKCentral Paradigm IV or has completed MKU Season 24.
- The registered Pacific League squad has a minimum of 12 players overall, with a minimum of 4 players originating from North America, South America, Oceania or Japan.
We would like to re-iterate that European dominant teams may be denied entry into the tournament if tournament staff have doubts on a team's stability and overall ability to play every match, regardless if a European dominant team is defined as being eligible by the criteria listed above. European players who are unable to find a team are still allowed to participate, but they must join an American, Australian or Japanese dominant team.
Having said that, we will be heavily enforcing this policy by utilizing manual verifications on the MKCentral Registry. Teams will need to be manually verified by staff before officially being granted entry into the tournament. As a quick note, teams are able to send out invites to their players even if their team hasn't been verified yet, so there's no need to wait for staff verification. Teams who attempt to bypass this policy, such as inviting a bunch of superfluous American/Australian/Japanese players to their roster to hit the quota, will be denied entry to the tournament.
Staff reserve the right to deny any team's verification request or remove any team from the Pacific League Season 6 registry page for any reason.
Pacific League Season 6 will begin on August 16, 2024 and will end on September 13, 2024.
