Edition timeline

Edition summary

Note

XS-1, XS-2 and XS-3 are edition numbers, like seasons. Each edition is a two-day tournament with the same four teams, not a different level or kind of game. XS-4 has not been announced, and the gap between editions is not fixed. How a match is played is explained in Format & rules.

Three editions on one line. Note the venue moving up in size and the gap between editions getting longer.

Signals of scale

Compare the plan reported during XS-2 with what actually happened.

Important

The conclusion: the pace is slowing, the scale per edition is growing.

What this means for the digital product: the long gap between editions (about 12 months) needs content between seasons so the audience does not drift away. See Opportunity map and goal Connected outside the season.
