Format

• The tournament will follow the Swiss format. Players will be paired with other players with a similar tournament score while ensuring that they won’t be paired to the same players twice.

• Byes will be considered as wins and is given to a random player in the first round and to the lowest ranking player beyond that. Moreover a player may never receive a bye twice. 

• Ties will be broken up in the following order:

1. Wins vs Tied Participants

2. Median - Buchholz

3. Points Difference

Registration

• Players are encouraged to arrive at least 15 mins before the start time for registration (Players who have pre-registered to the tournament online will be requested to present their order number).

• Players are required to declare their 5 chosen fighters before the start of the tournament. They aren’t allowed to use any other fighters aside from those 5.

Setup

• A 10 minute setup period is given before each match for players to ban/pick their fighters.

• Maps are first determined randomly.

• Players will bring 5 different fighters at the start of the tournament.

• Players will then flip a coin or roll a die. The winner gets to choose whether they get Position Advantage or Drafting Advantage. The loser gets the other.

• From this point on whoever has Position Advantage is now considered as the first player while the other will be the second player.

• Then the banning phase goes as follows:

• Players presents all 5 of their chosen fighters

• First player bans 1 of their opponent’s fighter

• Second player bans 2 fighters

• First player bans 2 more fighters

• Second players bans 1 fighter

• Both players simultaneously pick 1 fighter from the 2 remaining

• First player chooses their starting position

• For more information, please refer to this document.

During the Match

• A chess clock will be used. If a player’s time runs out, they lose immediately. The configurations are as follows:

• Timing mode: Bronstein

• Time Limit: 5 mins.

• Increment: 1 min.

• The timer must be paused during combat interactions and during times which require the opponent’s decision. We request that players do not abuse this timer.

• Each match is only expected to last 40 minutes. However the chess clock does not guarantee this. If a match exceeds the allotted time, players will take 1 last turn with the timer active such that they have an equal amount of turns. After that, we disregard the timer and each player will now take 3 final turns before we determine the winner. Each turn is only expected to last 2 minutes.

• Feel free to call a judge if you need any rule clarifications. There are no stupid questions.
