RISING STARS 2025 - Berlin

Oh, hello there. How is it going? Pretty crazy, right? Think about it: two years ago, you thought you were happy. But you always knew something was amiss. The stars couldn’t answer you. Until that day when you found us, until that moment when something pushed you over the edge, into the court. And now here you are, heading to Berlin, in the middle of it all, ready to become one of the…

Ok, so hear me out.

This year, the tournament will happen at our temple in Lichtenberg :zap::mount_fuji: . We will not provide accommodation officially, but ask around and you should be fine. Plenty of space to park vans around too. There will be some breakfast, and other than that there are plenty of grocery options nearby - even a supermarket that opens on Sunday :de:. We start on Friday morning already, and with this we can open the tournament to 16 teams this year :open_mouth:. More details about the group organization, start times, etc., comes later, after people indicate their availability on the registration form below. The tournament ends on Sunday, well before the sunset.

The registration goes until Valentine’s day :heart:, 14.02, 23:59, Berlin time. There will be a lottery on the following day if there are more than 16 teams. Pro tip: there will be :four_leaf_clover:. Depending on your team’s composition, you get more lifes in the lottery. Here is how you buy your golden ticket:

  • each player who started playing after September 2023 awards the team a lottery life;
  • if your team has at least one FLINTA* player, you get an extra life;
  • if your team has at least two Berlin players, you get an extra life.

:warning: EVERY TEAM HAS TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE PLAYER WHO STARTED AFTER sept. 23! :warning: And check this twist: every rookie goal counts double points! :moneybag::moneybag::moneybag: Registration fee will be 30 € :money_mouth_face: per team, and everybody will get the chance to ref! :policeman:

That’s it I guess. Good luck, I hope to see you soon! :sunflower:

Thanks a lot for organizing!! Is there any way to check if the registration did work? E.g. will you post all registered teams in advance of the deadline for joining the lottery? :-)
