- You never drop
- League floors use lifetime XP. Once you reach a league, it's yours for good.
- Three divisions each
- Every league runs III → II → I. Each step up lights another pip on your player card.
- Top 25 wear the crown
- The season's 25 highest XP totals get a crown on their player card, refreshed hourly. Your league never changes.
Levels come fast, then steady
Your level is lifetime — it never drops. Reaching level L takes 10 × (L − 1)² XP in total, so early levels fly by: the welcome missions plus one day of dailies can put you on Level 6. Level 11 is exactly 1,000 XP, the event gate. After Level 31, every level costs a flat 600 XP.

Plan your climb
Pick a pace and see where it takes you. A full day of missions is usually worth around 150 XP; the panel sets a daily target of 250 XP.
Estimate only. XP counts once our team approves your proof, and each day's missions vary.

Season 2, later on
We'd like to keep this going after the Dubai Series. If a second season goes ahead, it will be announced only through our official channels.
Not linked to the sponsor or any digital asset. Reaching a league or rank doesn't guarantee a place in any future programme — this season runs entirely on missions, XP and leagues.
Season schedule
Three nights.
One road to the final.
Every event is free, in person and players-only. Dates stay tentative until the organiser locks them in — eligible players hear first.
