Starting October 19th; you can play in the inaugural 8-Pod TTS Godtear Event. What is this event? Let's start by explaining the rules!
8-Pod Each Round
A random scenario not yet played will be chosen by the Tournament Organizer.
8 random champions will be chosen by the Tournament Organizer.
During Your Game
Players begin by rolling five dice. The winner of the dice roll will choose to draft first or second.
Players draft champions from the pod of 8, alternating picks, until each player has a team of three champions. Two champions will remain unpicked.
The loser of the dice roll chooses to go first or second during the game.
The game is played as normal.
8-Pod was invented as a way to diversify champion selection, introduce creativity by means of restriction, and to help people break out of their comfort zone.

How long will this event last? If we have more than 8 entrants, the event will have 3 rounds followed by a single-elimination top 4. So the event will last 3-5 weeks depending on how you do. Otherwise, the event will just be 3 rounds.
I want to drop, what do I do? Contact organizer, ellio#9735 and let them know before the next round is posted. If you do not alert for a drop, you may receive a round loss on Battle Ladder.
How do I report my draft picks? Week 1 draft pick form
How do I submit results to the event? - Please do this on Battle Ladder. You will be able to identify a winner, but not active champions. Additionally, please also fill in the appropriate form. This will be used to collect data about draft picks and results and shared with the community.
