Tournament Rules
Preliminary: Round-Robin Qualification Stage
The proposed format is different from that of previous tournaments. To ensure every one gets to enjoy a fair number of games, and to minimize early scheduling delays, the first stage of the tournament will be structured as a single round-robin. Players will be grouped geographically and play a single game against every other player in their group over a period of five weeks. Two points will be awarded for every victory, and one point for ties. The two top finishers in each group will advance to the next stage.
Semi Finals: Double-Elimination Stage
In this next stage, 16 players will play best-of-three matches. Resuts from the previous stage will be used to seed players and a double-elimination scheme will be followed.
Final Stage
The final will pit the last two participants in a best-of-five match.
All games will be two-player games, will be held in the Toulouse tournament lobby and will use all expansions available on this site. The games will not be rated for the ranking system. Please feel free to contact the crew by addressing emails to girodias-at-you-know-where, or by posting in the tournament's forum section, if you have any questions.
