Format & Rules

Ranking Round-robin League

A sixteen-player online round-robin league. Matches are best of three rounds, best of five games. In the case of a tie in rankings, order is determined by the players’ game win-loss difference, with one game counting as one point. For example, a 3-0 victory counts as +3, while a 2-3 loss counts as -1. If there is still a tie, the winner of the match between the two players claims the higher ranking.

The top four players will automatically advance to A League. Fifth and sixth place will advance to the league replacement matches for a chance to advance to A League.

League Replacement Round-robin League

In a change-up from previous seasons, instead of single matches, the league replacement matches will be an offline round-robin with B League fifth and sixth place and 3rd A League eighth place Fuudo and ninth place Dashio. Matches are best of three rounds, best of thirteen games. In the case of a set point tie (6-6), the match goes into deuce. The first player to gain a two-game advantage or reach ten wins claims victory. Two characters are allowed, with mid-match switches allowed every three-game interval for the losing player within that interval.

In the B League fifth place vs. sixth place match and in the A League eighth place vs. ninth place match, the player with the higher rank will start with a one-game advantage. All other matches will be played with an even start.

Prize Information

  • 1st Place – 100,000 yen (~915 USD)
  • 2nd Place – 50,000 yen (~460 USD)

Selby sees off Brunker to set up world title shot

Lee Selby (20-1, 8 KOs) scored a ninth round TKO over previously unbeaten Joel Brunker (27-1, 15 KOs) in an IBF featherweight eliminator on Saturday night at the O2 Arena in London, England.
Selby outboxed Brunker from the opening bell, and by the fourth he was picking off the Australian at ease. Although the Welshman was always in command, Brunker was tough and soaked up a lot of punishment.
It was by the seventh that Selby was starting to wonder if he could produce the stoppage that…
