USA's national team revamps its system hoping to promote energy and activity - competition and fun seems to be key.
The powerfully packed USA national team has announced a new way of acquiring positions among both the A and B teams. A 'challenge mode.' USA B players can now challenge their superiors in a best of 3 to attain a postion on the USA A team. A somewhat radical approach yet innovative to keep the team on their toes and on tip top shape.

Stipulations:
-"A" players cannot decline the challenge if it is accepted by me (only radical situations would I chose to decline a match ie known hacker, not American etc).
-"A" Players can retaliate and challenge the "B" player or another "A" player 1 week after their removal.
-The games are bo3 as stated, must be observed by either myself or Xeris[Light] for them to count unless circumstances call for dire needs like NeO)Coach observing or one of the other co-leaders. Maps are predetermined by me or Xeris[Light]
-"A" players can only be challenged once a week. Meaning Artosis[Media] cannot be challenged by 2 guys in 1 week.
-Challenges will be limited. Everyone on USA B will not take a pot shot each week. We will only allow 1-2 challenges a week.
-If an "A" player makes 3 defenses in a row they are immune from challenges for 1 month after their last defense.
-If a "B" player challenges and loses they cannot make another challenge for 2 weeks after their defeat.
-Only "B" players can make challenges. If you want to become a part of this process talk to Xeris about joining USA B.
