Competition Opening Rule Update
We’ve updated the requirements for a league specific leaderboard competitions to open. Starting next Game Week, those competitions opens when either of the following conditions is met, whichever is lowest:
- 50% of the league’s teams are playing and are licensed on Sorare
- At least 10 licensed teams are playing
Here’s what that means in practice:
🇰🇷 K League: the Leaderboard competition opens next weekend GW with 8 teams playing (minimum threshold is now 6, i.e. 50% of the 12 K League teams)
🇺🇸 MLS: threshold remains at 10 licensed teams (as there are more than 20 licensed MLS teams)
This change only applies to league-specific Leaderboard competitions. Contender, Challenger, U23 Classic and Champion Classic keep their existing opening rules based on the 10 licensed team minimum.
As a reminder, Hot Streaks MLS, J.League and K League standalone competitions open as soon as one licensed team plays in its domestic league.
