    Hello everyone, My staff and me would like to welcome all of you to the LGRL Rumble Challenge on October 15th at 2:00pm est!!! After a long season of taking the game at a very competitive level I think we can all enjoy a little fun and craziness using the new rumble mode. The rules below should answer any questions you may have.

    This a 3v3 bring your own team style tournament, 3 man roster with 2 subs for 5 spots max per team. Players do have to use the signup doc and fill out the team option be counted on a team's roster. If you are looking to be picked up as a team just select Free Agent or use it to try to find your own team mates and build a team

    As LGRL is not built as a tournament style part of the site and we still have playoffs going any way, Staff will be using various Google docs to help automate the process as much as possible. Click the following links below to fill out the right forms.
