# Champions Series

The **Champions Series** are one of the new features of the Dunkest season.

Throughout the season, **5 independent leagues** are held, each covering a specific range of Rounds. All teams registered on Dunkest automatically participate in each league, with no qualification required.

Each Champions Series has its own **dedicated standings** and awards **specific prizes**, independently of the results achieved in the other leagues or in the other Dunkest rankings.

* **does not affect** the standings of other Champions Series;
