League Shoot Out in Chicago to be announced soon

The League Shoot Out opens Clutch21 in Chicago on 21 November 2026. It is the league’s first competitive night — the first time the rulebook is played under officials, on a clock, for a result that goes on the record.

The format is the tour’s: a one-night, sixteen-player single-elimination bracket, games to 21, win by two, a ten-minute cap with overtime on a tie. Eight of the sixteen come through the open qualifier held at the same venue the day before, which anyone holding a licence and a medical certificate can enter.

The venue is not announced yet. It is the one thing still being settled, and it will be published here first, together with the card and the on-sale date. Everything else about the night — the date, the city, the format — is fixed.
