Description
Season 2
This season, teams from Season 1 will be distributed across four divisions. The top 24 teams based on points accumulated will be allocated across Divisions 1 through 3, while all remaining teams, along with new teams, will compete in the Open Division. Winning games within your division will grant an additional bonus, and defeating teams in a higher division will earn an extra bonus as well. However, winning games against teams in lower divisions will not accrue any bonuses.
