This article will be an update to communicate recent and new developments as we head closer to organizing a LAN for RGL Invite 6s Season 15 and the Open Tournament on July 20-21, 2024.
The venue will offer us enough PCs to run a 12-team Open Tournament in addition to the 4-team Invite Playoffs. The venue will also have a main stage for Invite playoffs with dedicated seating for spectators for a greater viewing experience.
Philly 6s LAN Open Tournament
Register Now!
The RGL 6s Philly LAN Open Tournament will take place at LAN and will give non-Invite Playoffs players a chance to play with teammates and friends in person! A maximum of twelve teams will be allowed to participate. Accepted teams will be determined on a first-come-first-serve basis, so sign up as soon as possible with your team of six with your fees paid if you want to participate. Teams will be assigned a set of six computers at Localhost Philly for the Tournament on Saturday and Sunday.
NOTE: You must be on a registered team in the tournament to participate and also take advantage of the computer-free time outside of the tournament. LAN fees are also non-refundable.
Maps will be determined using pick/bans and will follow the Invite/Advanced map pool for RGL Sixes Season 15.
As this is an Open Tournament, no class restrictions will be placed on any players, and the twelve teams will be split into three non-skill-based divisions (four teams per division). All teams in each division will play six best-of-one map group stage matches (double round robin). For playoffs, Div-1 has all 4 teams in their own playoff bracket (group stage round robin to determine seeding), Open Group A has the top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 1st seed and #2 is the 2nd seed for playoffs), and Open Group B has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 3rd seed and #2 is the 4th seed for playoffs). Final rankings will be determined by the percentage of rounds won.
NOTE: The plan is to have the skill level of Group A be higher than Group B when placing teams.

Updates to Open Tournament LAN Structure
We managed to secure 6 more PCs for Day 2 of the Open Tournament, allowing us to have 8 teams participate in playoffs, which was our original goal. This means we have a total of 48 PCs for Day 2. Here is the updated structure that we will be using for the Open Tournament:
Day 1 - Group Stage Structure
- 3 groups (Div-1, Open Group A, and Open Group B). Group stages consist of 3 groups with 4 teams each and they do the double round-robin for a total of 6 matches.
- Teams will complete pick/bans to determine maps played using the Invite/Advanced Season 15 Map Pool for the group stage rounds.
NOTE: Priority is to have teams complete their pick/bans online before the LAN starts to help matches start faster during Day 1. This will discussed in more detail when matches get scheduled.
Day 2 - Playoff Structure
- Div-1 has all 4 teams in their own playoff bracket (group stage round robin to determine seeding)
- Open Group A has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 1st seed and #2 is the 2nd seed for playoffs)
- Open Group B has top 2 seeds enter the Open playoff bracket (#1 is the 3rd seed and #2 is the 4th seed for playoffs)
NOTE: The plan is to have the skill level of Group A be higher than Group B when placing teams.
LAN Team Registration Priority
There is a maximum of 12 teams that can register and participate in the Open LAN Tournament. Please note the following:
- We will place priority on the first 12 teams that have 6 players rostered AND have fully paid up their LAN fee.
- LAN fees are non-refundable so teams must commit if they are participating.
NOTE: Season 15 Invite teams are welcome to register, but must give up their spot if they do make Invite Playoffs.
