With the inaugural season of the Hero Realms Premier Circuit (HRPC) entering the playoffs, here’s a recap and some highlights of Season 1!

The HRPC Season included 6 events, in which you earn points based on your performance.  Players are then ranked based on total points accumulated over those 6 events.  Additionally, in each event a player could enter up to 1 of each character, i.e., you could have up to 5 entries in each event.  Each player’s characters were ranked separately.

Season 1 included 344 unique entries among 80 unique participants, across the 6 events.

The top performers over Season 1 are invited to a Championship to determine a Season 1 Champion.  There is a playoff for each character, as well as an overall Championship.  Those Championships have just begun.

I created a HRPC App to track results/rankings/status/etc in the HRPC.
