(Oh yeah... All of your Hot Dogs have to be Brawler).“Rookie with a Twist” Brawl
We will explain this new format after the New Year. This is a fun play mode that is “rookie easy,” but adds some very simple bluff mechanics. If you can play rookie…you can play this. In addition to the cash prize pool share the winner will also receive a 2026 Blast Box.

PS: We plan to expand the number of “major” events in 2026 (meaning more than just The National for some of the team and theme deck events.)
PPS: More fun brackets are coming. If your favorite weapons or inserts aren’t announced yet…never know.
PPPS: We want to minimize overlapping events this year so you can play in as much as you want. I can’t say nothing will conflict…but the goal is absolute minimal conflicts to allow max participation in each event/format.
