Riftbound Store vs Store League
A home-and-away league where the game stores of the south east UK send teams to each other's tables to battle for renown and glory.
SEASON 1 BEGINS WITH THE RELEASE OF RADIANCE - 23rd OCTOBER 2026
WHY?
A league, not just a one off
Grow the community
Store regulars mostly only play against other regulars. The league puts you across the table with players from the store two towns over. Like a team Skirmish
Fill your store
Every phase brings scheduled fixtures, travelling visitors, spectators and casual games afterwards. Another reason for your Riftbound nights to matter all year round.
Fiercely competitive, still friendly
High OPL, intense best-of-three matches, legend drafting and vetoes. Then a cooldown where everyone hangs around for casual games. Work hard, play hard.
5 v 5
A fixture is best-of-five matches each played by one of your teammates.
A Year of 4 Phases
A Season runs October to October with 4 phases: one phase per set release.
Home & Away
Double round-robin inside your group per phase, meaning you'll play at home & away against each other team.
FIXTURES
Two hours, 5 matches
Meet and Greet
Both teams introduce themselves and announce their twelve legends (legends only, not decklists).
Consultation & veto
Teams huddle separately, then each bans one legend starting with the away team. A vetoed legend is off the table for both sides.
Legend drafting
Home A, away A, away B, home B and so on. Once a legend is taken, nobody else can pick them again.
Matches & Results
Position plays position in a regular best-of-three, 60 minutes with overtime match with their chosen legends. Fixture result is best of 5 of the matches.
Cooldown
Don't just pack up and leave. Stay, chat, eat, play casuals, etc. You've travelled far, so make the most of the night.
Playing for glory, not for prizes
The organisers hand out no prize support, deliberately.
This is a championship played for your own and your store's renown. Stores are welcome and encouraged to reward their own team however they like.
