Tri-Annual (formally BLAST) Rosters

Will align with the roster at the conclusion of the session for the specific Tri-Annual event being played.

For example: Summer Tri-Annual is being played based on the Summer session. Therefore players who meet the necessary eligibility requirements and were on your team at the end of the Summer session will be the roster that will show up for the Summer Tri-Annual. New players added to your Fall session roster will not show up.

Tri-Annual Eligibility: Players must have 4 matches for that team in that session and 6 lifetime in that format by the end of that session (in this example Summer).

*World Qualifier (formally Cities) Rosters

Will be your Spring Session ending roster, regardless of the Tri-Annual in which you qualified. Please review the Official Team Manual section regarding other criteria for World Qualified teams.

World Qualifier Eligibility: Players must have 4 matches for that team in the Spring session and 10 lifetime in that format by the end of the Spring session. Summer session 2026 does not count towards these match requirements.

*World Qualifier rosters will be your Vegas roster

Common questions

Q: We won a spot in the Summer Tri-Annual, but I changed my Fall roster for a few players. Will these new players be able to play for our team in the Summer Tri-Annual?

A: No. Your Summer Tri-Annual roster is based on the roster you had at the end of the Summer session. Players must have met the Tri-Annual eligibility requirements during the Summer session to be eligible to play for your team.

A: No. Your roster at the end of the Spring session will be used for the World Qualifiers. Players must have met the World Qualifiers eligibility requirements to participate on your team.

A: If you want a player from a previous session to be eligible for your World Qualifier team, they must be on your roster before the start of Week 4 of the Spring session, provided your team has already qualified for the World Qualifiers.
