The International Series

The International Series is a professional wrestling tournament held each November and December by the WWE promotion. It is currently held as a round-robin, with winners from two blocks wrestling in the final to decide that year's winner. In its current format, the tournament lasts four weeks. The winner of each block is determined by a points system; two points for a victory, one point for a draw, and zero points for a loss. The two blocks are split into sections for Raw and SmackDown with the winner earning a shot at their brands world championship at the Royal Rumble in January the following year.
