June turns up the heat on organised play competition in Australia with Local Championship events kicking off around Australia. Participation in these events will be well rewarded with the best performing player over the Local Championship and Regional events earning a paid invite to participate in the 2016 Dragon Ball Z World Championships event in the US. World Championship invite points will be awarded based on final placing and number of players present at each event. A player’s top three finishes in Local Championship and Regional events will count towards their final ranking.

How to accumulate points
Points will be issued to players in the similar fashion as TAK Games League Seasons.

If there is a tie for the top rank, the following formula will be used to determine the winner.
- First Tie Breaker – Highest Win Percentage
- Second Tie Breaker – Highest Total Number of Wins
- Third Tie Breaker – Lowest Total Number of Losses
- Fourth Tie Breaker – Highest Total Number of Players at Events Contributing to Rank
