The Season 16 Crystal League Championship takes place September 10-11, with Albion's top Crystal League players facing off for tremendous prizes including the ultra-rare Sabertooth Rex Swiftclaw Skin. This time, the tournament will be open to teams from both the Lethal and Non-Lethal Crystal Leagues, with the top six teams from the Lethal format and the top two teams from the Non-Lethal format qualifying based on the following:

• Number of Level 9 wins
• Number of Level 8 wins
• Number of Level 7 wins
• etc.

(Note: each player can only qualify for the tournament once through either the lethal or non-lethal format)

As with the previous tournament, matches will be hard-capped to limit the overall regear costs to teams, and the tournament will be full-loot.

Additional rules:

• Teams must sign up by Tuesday, September 6 at 15:00 UTC
• Teams must consist of five qualified players, at least four of whom must have qualified with the same team this season
• A player cannot qualify with multiple teams
• Each team can allocate one substitute in addition to the five players on the team
• For full rules, signup info, and the final schedule, see this forum post
