Clan Plagueis

News ALERT!! Guess what is coming early this year? That’s right, the Pro Bowl!! Slags posted all about it earlier this month.

The highly anticipated Pro Bowl 2023 is just around the corner, and it promises to be a thrilling three-week competition that will put your skills to the test.

Starting on July 3rd, the Pro Bowl will kick off with an opening event to determine the draft order for the teams. Each attending unit will be split between the three teams, ensuring a fair distribution of talent from all participating clans. Over the following weeks, the teams will engage in a variety of events, including Fiction, Graphics, Gaming, Trivia, and more. These challenges are designed to push your abilities and provide a well-rounded competition experience.

Mark your calendars for the Pro Bowl schedule:

Prologue: July 3rd - July 9th Week One: July 10th - July 16th Week Two: July 17th - July 23rd Week Three: July 24th - July 30th

But remember, it's not just about winning individual events. Every member's contribution counts towards the overall score of their team, much like the players on a football team. By participating in events, you earn five points, showing your dedication and commitment. Additionally, the top performers in each event will earn placement modifier points, with first place receiving 4 points, second place earning 3 points, and third place getting 2 points.

The Pro Bowl scoring system emphasizes the value of active participation. Your involvement, big or small, will play a crucial role in leading your team to victory. So, whether you're a seasoned competitor or a newcomer, your efforts will make a difference.

At the end of the three weeks, the individual scores will be tallied, and the top three participants will be awarded crescents for their outstanding performance. The victorious team will be determined by the cumulative scores of all weeks, including the Prologue Week event.

Get ready to unleash your skills and show off your talents during the Pro Bowl 2023. Let's make House Ventress proud with our active participation and fierce competition. Together, we can achieve greatness and claim ultimate bragging rights over our opponents. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to be part of something special!
