Fun Facts
The "first mention of the latruncularius was on December 26th, 2022," when @kartii () joined the NSPCL! At this point, our league is 972 days old and approaching its 1000-day anniversary. The LCC was mentioned at the very beginning.

The LCC's Single Swiss Lobby currently holds the record for the most participants in a single individual tournament lobby at 22 players, drawing the most competitive and exciting pool ever witnessed by our members at a single point in time.
