02/ 05 How it works

Three steps. One champion. $100 on the line.

Step 01

Pick your side

Rebellion or Empire. Your team fights for that side through its own bracket. Pick based on which figures you own and have photos of.

Step 02

Assemble 5

Five unique characters from your side. Name your team. Write a one-line tagline. Upload your own photos to replace stock shots on your team page — voters respond to real shelves.

Step 03

Win for your side

Matchups run 48 hours. Shared links drive more votes to your pick. Rebellion champion faces Empire champion in the Grand Final May 11–14 — the overall tournament champion is the only winner who takes the gift card.

05/ 05 Rules & FAQ

Rules & FAQ

Everything you'd want to know before entering.
01
What counts as Rebellion vs Empire?
Rebellion covers the Jedi Order, Rebel Alliance, Resistance, and their allies. Empire covers the Sith, Imperial forces, First Order, bounty hunters, and dark-side allies. Gray characters (Boba Fett, Cad Bane, etc.) can fight for either side.
02
Do I have to own all 5 figures?
Yes. Mark all 5 figures as Owned in your SSM collection. No duplicate characters — one Vader per team, even if you own several versions. Upload your own photos to make your team stand out; they're optional, but they help.
03
Can I edit my team after I lock it in?
Team name and tagline are editable any time. Figure choices lock when entry closes May 3 · 11:59 PT. After Jedha's May 4 selection livestream, the bracket shows what you submitted.
04
Who can vote?
Anyone — no SSM account required. One vote per matchup, per browser. You don't need to own any figures to vote.
05
How are the 16 teams selected?
Jedha curates the 16 LIVE on the May 4 selection livestream — 8 Rebellion and 8 Empire teams picked from the submitted pool. Selection signals include team concept, photo quality, and social engagement during entry week. Future seasons may incorporate public voting. If fewer than 8 per side enter, the bracket scales down to the next power of two.
06
The tournament runs three weeks — what about my 7-day trial?
Your 7-day trial covers entry week. Your team stays in the bracket whether or not your subscription continues — voting is public and your share link keeps working. To keep editing your collection and team through the bracket and Grand Final, stay subscribed at $5/mo. Cancel anytime.
07
What do voters get?
Every vote enters you into the Season 1 voter drawing — one random voter wins 1 year of Sixth Scale Market, free ($60 value), drawn after the May 14 Grand Final. Enter your email when you cast a vote to be eligible. One entry per matchup you vote in, so voting in every round maximizes your odds. No subscription required. Winner announced on the Jedha's Patrol YouTube channel.
