Showdown™ Round 1 — The Season Launch

A New Era of Competition. The stage is set for a clean break from the past. Showdown™ is the high-octane evolution of how we play in Sunnyside 1.0. This isn’t just a game day—it’s the official reveal of a structured, professional-grade league where strategy, physical skill, and digital mastery collide. We are moving away from casual play and into a system where every move counts toward the village rankings.

Why Showdown Matters: In the 1.0 era, we believe competition is a tool for character. Showdown™ teaches our students how to win with humility, lose with dignity, and execute complex team strategies under pressure. It’s where the "Mastery" they’ve been practicing in their clubs meets the reality of the arena.

The Round 1 Experience:

• The Opening Ceremony: A high-energy introduction to the new league mechanics. We’ll reveal the 2026 Rulebook and the importance of the Sportsmanship Multiplier.

• Team Drafting & Identity: Students will officially be sorted into their season teams. They’ll receive their team colors, define their "Battle Cry," and meet their captains for the first time.

• The "First Strike" Matches: The very first official points of the year go on the board. This round is all about establishing team chemistry and finding your footing in the new arena.

• The Live Leaderboard Reveal: We unveil the real-time digital tracking system in DV2. From this moment on, every win and "MVP" milestone is visible to the entire tribe.

What to Expect:

• The Showdown™ Gear: The first look at the official 2026 apparel and team identifiers.

• Professional Standards: Dedicated officiating and standardized rules to ensure the integrity of the game.

• The 1.0 Atmosphere: Music, live commentary, and a crowd of families bringing the noise for the first generation of Showdown™ athletes.

The Arena is open. Your legacy starts here.
