The Invitational

The Invitational is a competitive event where top players or teams are invited to participate, often showcasing their skills without the usual qualification process. Unlike open tournaments, it features select participants based on rankings, reputation, or prior performance. The goal is to create a high-level competition, foster excellence, and often attract spectators and media. Invitations ensure a curated field, allowing organizers to focus on showcasing the best talent in a particular sport, game, or activity, making it a prestigious and highly anticipated occasion for both players and audiences.
