MechaLeague Circuit

Information coming soon.
Mechacademy
In-Game tournaments
- 1v1 Wednesday, Saturday (three times per day, some with divisions)
- 2v2 Sunday (three times per day, some with divisions)
Each time you play in any tournament you automatically:
- Potentially qualify for our end-of-season grand tournaments
- Earn Circuit Points
Qualifying for the end-of-season tournaments
Finish top 3 in any tournament (player or team) and you earn a seat in Fangs Out, our grand qualifier.
You can only qualify once. So each tournament's seats roll down the standings until they land on the top 3 who haven't earned in yet. Keep entering tournaments and stacking finishes, and you put yourself in line for a seat.
Across the season, roughly 540 players earn into Fangs Out. Those players have to claim their spot on the Qualifier Board, capped at the first 128 players. Only the top 12 survive it and advance to the Titan Cup, the season finale.
There's one other way in. The top 4 on the season Circuit Points standings get a cash prize ($15 each) and an automatic Titan Cup seed (you just confirm it), straight to the finale, no Fangs Out required. It's the reward for being the most consistent competitor on the circuit, not just hot for one weekend.
Earn Circuit Points
Every tournament counts. Every event you finish banks Circuit Points toward your season total.
Finishers only.
You're scored if you reach the second-to-last round or better. That way players auto-culled right before the final still count. Bail earlier and that event scores you nothing. We then strip the non-finishers and re-rank the rest, so placement is by true finish, not by the in-game screen that lists quitters by their win count.
Bigger events, bigger points.
We weight every result by the prestige of the event.

The fine print
How you enter.
You don't, it's automatic. The board builds itself from public tournament results, so the moment you play a qualifying tournament, you're on it. No signup, no opt-in.
No opt out.
We're simply tabulating public data, the same results anyone can already see, so there's nothing of yours to pull down.
Qualification must be claimed.
You must claim your Fangs Out or Top 4 Titan eligible slot inside the Season 8 claim window. You do that on the Qualifier Board.
Finishers only.
We only score and qualify tournament finishers — see the Earn Circuit Points section above.
No smurfing.
We believe smurfs are a dead end under our rules, but anyone caught trying to game the system with multiple accounts will be disqualified from our season finales.
Steam renames.
We use public data with Steam name. You change your name, you will lose all your previous points on your name. Exceptions: we handle clan tags separately. As long as your tag is in the format of [TAG] at the beginning of your name, you can change clan or remove the tag with no impact.
How prizes are paid.
Prizes of $15 and under may be paid as in-game support (skins, DLC, or whatever prize support the game provides), at our discretion. For anything larger we choose the payment form, most likely Steam gift cards.
Substitutions.
A claimed Fangs Out seat that no-shows on the day is not replaced; that spot simply goes unused. For the Titan Cup, if a top-4 automatic can't attend, we don't move seeds up or shrink the bracket. We fill the field deeper from Fangs Out instead, so the Cup is always a full 16.
Ties.
Players tied on Circuit Points are separated by, in order: most 1st-place finishes, then most podiums, then best single finish. Anything still tied after that is ordered by name, and where a tie sits on a cutline that pays or qualifies, the tiebreak decides it.
