The format for the 2023 season remains largely the same as the previous season. However, each division of each regional league now last three weeks instead of six weeks (excluding tiebreakers), and both divisions will be scheduled separately, one after the other, in their respective regions (first division followed by second division).
As in previous season, roster locks are implemented from the start of each Regional League until the end. Rosters will unlock at the conclusion of the Regional League portion of each Tour. The initial roster lock for the 2023 season happens at 11:59am PT on December 9th, 2022. For subsequent Tours, player removals will lock at 11:59am PT on Tuesday after the Major, though players will still be allowed to be added to incomplete teams until 11:59am PT on Sunday after the Major.
Any player removals will incur a 20% penalty to all DPC Points earned at the time of removal (including the points to be earned in the League currently being played). A team that removes a player after securing a slot at a Major will incur a 20% penalty on DPC Points earned during that event, in addition to the normal player-removal penalty. Any partial DPC points will be rounded down for each individual event. There is no penalty for adding a new player.
A substitute may be used for 4 out of the 7 matches in the Regional League. A team that plays 5 or more Regional League matches with a substitute will be disqualified and any remaining games will be forfeited. If a team does not play a Regional League match, that match is forfeited. A team that forfeits 2 or more matches in a season will be automatically removed from the rest of the competition and all their opponents from previous and subsequent games will get a default win. Any team that competes in a Major tournament with a substitute will incur a 40% penalty per substitute (up to 2 substitutes) on DPC Points earned from that tournament. If more than 2 substitutes are required for a team, that team will be considered forfeited.
As in previous season, teams from the same organization can play in the same Regional League but only one team from an organization can qualify for The International. If two teams from the same organization qualify for The International, that organization must either remove all of their ties to one of the teams, or only the top team will be eligible.
At the end of the third tour, the top twelve teams by DPC points are directly qualified for The International 2023. Six remaining spots will be decided through regional qualifiers. All teams that participated in the third tour of the regional leagues are eligible to compete in the regional qualifiers provided that they do not replace more than two players from their third tour's roster. As in previous season, there will not be any Open Qualifier for The International. However, all Regional Leagues will have an Open Qualifier tournament for their Division II spots meaning that the third tour's open qualifiers will essentially act as TI Open Qualifiers.

Regional League[edit]
Regional Leagues are divided into 6 regions. The regions are: North America (NA), South America (SA), Western Europe (WEU), Eastern Europe (EEU), China (CN) and Southeast Asia (SEA). Each of the Regional Leagues is divided into 2 divisions (Division I and Division II) of eight teams each (16 each region, 96 in total across all regions).
At the end of each league, the bottom two teams of the Division I are demoted to Division II, while the top two teams of the Division II are promoted to Division I. The bottom two teams of the Division II are eliminated from the league and are replaced with winners of the qualifier held within their Regional League. All other teams retain their position for the following tour.
The six regional leagues will be operated by the following tournament organizers:[1][2][3][4][5]
