Announcing the SBB Pro Club!

Welcome Storybook Brawl players to the official announcement of the SBB Pro Club!

The SBB Pro Club is a new program designed to reward players who show consistent performance throughout the year in competitive tournament play. Are you someone who enjoys playing tournaments? Would you like a little boost in making Day Two? Would you like to be recognized inside and outside the game for your accomplishments? If any of those sound exciting, then the SBB Pro Club is for you!

2022 Organized Play Season

The 2022 SBB Pro Season began with the December SBBMonthly (held at the start of January 2022) and culminates with the World Championship in the Bahamas in December 2022. This year is broken into three seasons: Spring, Summer, & Fall, each with their own Seasonal Championship. Qualification for each championship comes from a total of 10 Monthlies - 3 for Spring, 3 for Summer, and 4 for Fall. We heard your feedback loud and clear that you wanted a monthly every month, so going forward Championship months like July will also have an SBBMonthly that month as well.

Each SBBMonthly and Seasonal Championship (13 events total) can earn you Pro Points towards the SBB Pro Club. The benefits of the Pro Club, which you will learn more about below, are valid for the remainder of 2022 and for the entire 2023 season.

Benefits of the Pro Club

Bronze Status

Once eligible for the SBB Pro Club, a few things will happen:

• You will be announced as an SBB Pro Club member
• You will be featured & highlighted more often on tournament coverage & articles
• You will earn a special in-game Hero Frame* only for SBB Pro Club Members
• You will start each SBBMonthly with an additional +1 point on Day One

Our hope is that if you are a player who enjoys playing in the SBBMonthlies and plays them often, you will begin earning these benefits this year.

Players with at least 10 Pro Points this year are eligible for the Pro Club.

Silver Status

Now, if you are one of our more competitive players, you might have read this and thought, “hmm, is there something a little more for someone like me?” The answer to that is yes! By performing at an even higher level throughout the year and achieving a few high placements, you can be eligible for Silver status.

Players with at least 20 Pro Points this year are eligible for Silver status.

Gold Status

What if you are someone who wants to be the best-of-the-best? The Wonder of all Waddles? If that sounds like you, then the Gold status is what you are striving for. Only the few players who achieve consistent top performance throughout the year will have the honor of Gold Status - Take a look - These are the top of your class!

Our hope with this level is to truly recognize the best players in the game and reward them for their hard work and dedication.

Players with at least 30 Pro Points this year are eligible for Gold status.

* Note: The Pro Club in-game hero frames are not quite ready, we appreciate your patience while we get those implemented as soon as possible.

How to earn Pro Points

Events that award Pro Points

In order to achieve Pro Club status, you must earn Pro Points throughout the 13 tournaments this year. The events that award Pro Points are:

Note: The November and December SBBMonthliesin 2022 will be part of the 2023 year.

Pro Points from SBBMonthlies

Every month you have the opportunity to earn Pro Points by competing in the SBBMonthly. All you need to do is show up and play Day One in order to earn the first Pro Point, but the better you do each month, the more Pro Points you earn!

* This includes players tied at this rank: e.g. if you finish 66th place but have the same score as the player in 64th, you are considered Top 64

Pro Points from Seasonal Championships

While the primary focus of Pro Points is on the SBBMonthlies, we also wanted to reward players for high performances in the hardest events: the Seasonal Championships.

In addition to the Pro Points listed above:

• Players who Top 8 a Seasonal Championship are awarded Silver status
• Players who Win a Seasonal Championship are awarded Gold status
• Players who Win a Seasonal Championship receive one of the community invites for the following Seasonal Championship.

Other Important Information

Leaderboard community invites & Player of the Year

• The last Seasonal Championship of the year (the Fall Championship in November), will include 8 community invites. Four (4) of those invites will be awarded to the top 4 players on the Pro Points Leaderboard who are not already queued for the Champs or for Worlds
• At the end of the year we will also announce the Player of the Year - the player who earned the most Pro Points throughout 2022.

What is the timing? How long do my rewards last?

• The 2022 year lasts from the December Monthly to the World Championship. Pro Points earned during this time will count towards your status for the 2023 year.
• Once you reach SBB Pro Club status, those benefits apply immediately for the remainder of 2022 and for the entire 2023 year.
• The last chance to earn Pro Points this year is the November Championship. At the conclusion of that event, all Pro Points will reset to 0 and those with status will keep it for the 2023 season.

What if I just started playing, can I still earn status late in the year?

Yes! We recognize that the game is still in Early Access and that most of what will become the Storybook Brawl playerbase has not even started playing the game yet! If you joined the competitive scene late in the year, don’t worry, you still have a chance to earn status by performing well at a Seasonal Championship.

• Any player who makes Top 8 of a Seasonal Championship earns Silver status immediately
• Any player who wins a Seasonal Championship earns Gold status immediately

Where can I find my Pro Points / follow my progress?

• There is a new tab on the official tournament site with the current leaderboard and your Pro Points total
• We know you love to play with the numbers, so we have also built out a Pro Points calculator which you can use to project your potential future status
• As the year progresses we will be building out more ways to make it easier to track your status, such as in your Untapped.gg profile!

In conclusion, we are excited to bring you this Pro Club and with it more opportunities for you as a player to earn recognition and benefits for playing Storybook Brawl. As with the game itself, this tournament system is also in Early Access, so we appreciate your patience and understanding as we may need to tweak things over the next year to make sure we are creating the best experience possible for players.

Thanks, and let's go win some lobbies!
