1. Participation Requirements

- Only Clubs with 10 or more members can participate in Club Battle.

- Your Club must have at least 10 members at least 2 hours before the Club Battle begins.

* If your Club fails to meet the minimum member requirement after joining the Club Battle season, it will be penalized and automatically lose the round with a default score of a 40-point gap.

- Club Battle matchmaking is based on Club Points (CP).

2. Tier System

- Your Club’s Tier and World Ranking are determined based on its current Club Points.

- Club Points can be earned by winning Club Battle Rounds.

- Reaching certain Club Point milestones will increase the Club Tier and grant rewards.

- At the start of a new season, Club Points will be adjusted based on the results of the previous season.

- Clubs participating in Club Battle for the first time will start with 1,000 CP (Bronze III), and CP will not drop below 1,000.

- Newly created Clubs that have never participated in a Club Battle will begin the season at the Unranked Tier.

* During the Preseason, Clubs can reach up to Diamond I Tier.

3. Club Battle Schedule

- Club Battles will run for 14 Rounds per season, with one Round held per day and no breaks in between.

- Each Round is divided into four phases: Round Matching, Round Battle, Round Settlement, and Rest.

* The EAST server follows KST and the WEST server follows EST.

A. Round Score

- Each Round is played in a 1v1 format, and the Club that earns the higher Round Score wins.

- Every Club member has 3 attack chances and 3 defense chances.

- Winning against an opposing Club member grants Round Score.

* You can attack the same opponent up to 3 times.

- If you lose an attack, the defending Club member receives an OVR -2 debuff (up to -20).

- Successfully defeating an opposing Club member three times will deduct all of that member’s defense chances and grant your Club a Club Emblem.

- Additional Round Score is awarded based on the number of Club Emblems obtained.

- If the Round Score is tied at the end of the round, the winner will be determined based on the Victory Priority Rules.

B. Club Points

- Winning a round will net you Club Points, while losing a round will deduct them.

- The amount of points gained or lost is determined by the Club Point difference between the two matched Clubs.

* Clubs with the lower CP will earn more points when winning, while Clubs with the higher CP will lose more points when defeated.

- At the end of a Round, additional Club Points are gained or lost based on the Round Score gap.

- Rankings are determined based on Club Points at the time of the Round Settlement, and the total accumulated Club Points across all rounds will determine the final season ranking.

5. Club Member Formation Settings

- Formation Settings is a new strategic element in Club Battle.

- Formations are divided into Offense, Defense, and Balance, each applying different OVR buffs and debuffs:

  > Offense Formation: OVR +2 buff when attacking, OVR -1 debuff when defending.

  > Defense Formation: OVR +2 buff when defending, OVR -1 debuff when attacking.

  > Balance Formation: No OVR buffs or debuffs.

- Formations can only be set by the Club Master or Vice Master, and may be changed from the Club Battle Rest period until 2 hours before the Round starts.

- Members in Offense and Defense Formations start with their OVR revealed, and both Formations must always have the same number of members assigned.

- Members in the Balance Formation start with their OVR hidden, but it will be revealed once they are attacked.

- New Club members who join during a Round will be eligible for Formation Settings starting from the Club Settlement completion after that Round ends.

① Change Club member formations from the Formation Settings menu.

② Select and assign a Club member to one of the following: Attack, Defense, or Balance Formation.

③ A Club member assigned to the Attack Formation.

④ One member has been moved to the Defense Formation as the number of Attack and Defense members must be set equally.

6. Match Format

- Club Battles are played using your Club Battle Lineup.

- You can choose between two play modes: Quick Play or Pick Up Play.

A. Quick Play

- A simulation-based mode for fast and efficient gameplay.

B. Pickup Play

- Choose one part of your lineup—Table Setters, Cleanup, or Bottom of the Order—and a random batter from that part will be selected to play the match.
