Both events run parallel and belong to the same group. Each coach can only apply with one team.

"Each year, with the beginning of the summer, all eyes turn to Altdorf, as the Imperial Bloodbowl League (IBL) hosts it`s grand event - the Altdorf Pro-League Invitational. This very prestigious event invites only the most distinguished teams to fight for the Imperial Cup, a trophy that comes with the services of the Altdorf Bloodbowl Associtation."

The Altdorf Pro-League Invitational is the Champion's League of Blood Bowl.

Only the best of the best may hope for an invitation, and the champion might attract the attention of most famous star players and may perhaps be able to convince one of them to stay with their team for the entire upcoming season.

Those teams which do not make the cut might still have a shot at the Tilean Invitational running parallel to the Altdorf event.

   A star player at the coaches discretion joins the team for the
   upcoming season (i. e. until the end of the next Altorf Final).
   Only a stars the team normally has access to will be eligible.
   This player is considered to have peaked, unable to acquire any
   SPPs, can be injured or killed like any other player and is able
   to win player rewards, won't receive any rewards for himself or
   the team in that case, though. The star will leave the team after
   their last game in the next Invitational latest (unless they
   defend their tile successfully and pick him again).
   If the team does not apply, the star is removed as soon as the
   tournament commences.

At the same time the Altorf Invitational commences, the Tilean Invitational begins.

The Tilean City States, renown for their wealth, prosperity and mercantile prowess as well as for their medical skills (RL-allusion: The Medici), are sporting a large tournament for those teams, which narrowly missed the Altdorf Invitational.

The winner will be allowed to enjoy the legendary healing arts of distinguished Tilean physicians.
