<a id="F1">How does the Tournament System work?</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

• Our Tournament System is based on Points, Awards and Ranks.
  
• You gain points with every fight you win and with winning Tournaments, you get cups for top-places in Tournaments and if you have enough of both your Rank / Skill goes up.

<a id="F2">What's the difference between private and official Tournaments?</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

• There's no difference, it's only that private persons can organise them compleatly.
  
• Only Tournaments with a maximum of 16 players can be organised by private persons, if you plan to organise larger Tournaments contact me.

<a id="F3">Points / Pointcount</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

• For every match you won you get one point (Matchpoints, mp)
  
• For every Tournament you won you get points (Extrapoints, ep)
  
• For not using any mp or not losing and hp in a fight you win you get +1 point each (Fightpoints, fp)
  (you should notify if there was a fight with 0-usage or I may oversight this, if yes and the points and awards are submitted - bad luck
  
• For every Team-Tournament you get points (Teampoints, tp)
  
• For organising Private Tournaments you get points (Organising Points, op) (up to 8 players: 5 points, up to 16 players: 10 points)
  
• Points are calculated at the end of a tournament.

<a id="F4">Calculation of Matchpoints</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

Example: 8 Man Tournament:
Round 1:
P1 vs P2 - 3 : 0
P3 vs P4 - 2 : 3
P5 vs P6 - 3 : 1
P7 vs P8 - 2 : 3

Round 2:
P1 vs P4 - 3 : 1
P5 vs P8 - 2 : 3

Round 3:
P1 vs P8 - 3 : 0

P1: 3 points
P2: ---
P3: ---
P4: 1 point
P5: 1 point
P6: ---
P7: ---
P8: 2 points
(this is additional to Extrapoints, may look like nothing, but it's more effective in larger Tournaments with preliminary rounds)

<a id="F5">Calculation of Extrapoints</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

Every Tournament Participant bring in points.
Newbie -> +1 point
Beginner -> +2 points
Versed -> +3 points
Approved -> +4 points
Average -> +5 points
Expert -> +6 points
Elite -> +7 points
Master -> +8 points
Legendary -> +9 points
Godlike -> +10 points

Example:
15 players in Tournament
-> 5 Newbies
-> 4 Beginner
-> 3 Versed
-> 1 Approved
-> 2 Average
(5x1+4x2+3x3+1x4+2x5)x2=72 points

3/8 of the all participants get points
(15 / 8) * 3 = 5.625 -> 6 players get points
(from 3.50 to 4.49, four players get points, if it's not decided who's player
no.x with a tournament then the decision is made like in preliminary rounds)

1st: 72 x 0.5 = 36 points
2nd: 72 x 0.25 = 18 points
3rd: 72 x 0.125 = 9 points
4th: 72 x 0.0625 = 5 points (4.5)
5th: 72 x 0.03125 = 3 points (2.25)
6th: 72 x 0.015625 = 2 points (1.125)
(from 3.01 to 4.0 you get four points)

<a id="F10">Calculation of Teampoints (2vs2)</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

Every Tournament Participant bring in points.
Newbie -> +1 point
Beginner -> +2 points
Versed -> +3 points
Approved -> +4 points
Average -> +5 points
Expert -> +6 points
Elite -> +7 points
Master -> +8 points
Legendary -> +9 points
Godlike -> +10 points

Example:
16 players in 2vs2 Tournament / 8 groups
(all players get matchpoints like in the normal tournament system here, too, but no extrapoints!)
-> 7 Newbies
-> 4 Beginner
-> 2 Versed
-> 1 Approved
-> 2 Average
(7x1+4x2+2x3+1x4+2x5)=35 points

3/8 of all groups get points:
(8 * 3) / 8 = 3 -> 3 groups get points

1st group: 35 x 0.5 = 18 points (17.5)
2nd group: 35 x 0.25 = 9 points (8.75)
3rd group: 35 x 0.125 = 5 points (4.375)
(from 3.01 to 4.0 you get four points)
(every player of the group gets the teampoints)

<a id="F6">Awards</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

• In every Tournament, Battle and Funwar there're Three Awards
  
• In 2vs2 Tournaments always 3 groups for 16 and 32 players, in first group both players get golden cup and so on.

<a id="F8">Unfought Matches / Penalty Points / Quitter-Rank</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

• You have to fight ALL fights, even if the result (for example in a pre-liminary round) is clear.
  
• You're safe if you submit your results as early as possible.
  
• Handling of unfought Matches in the end of a tournament:
  
  • Battles / Preliminary-Rounds:
    &raquo; No fight submitted by one players: Quitter / -20 points
    &raquo; Some fights unfought: Canceled (Sign: // ) / lost chance to win
    
  • Tournaments:
    &raquo; If you've problems contacting your opponent (PM, Email, Messenger, Hamachi) post this in the Tournament-Thread after half of the time limit passed (around this date, not exact of course).
    &raquo; No reaction from opponent:
    &nbsp; &nbsp; - 3 : 0
    &nbsp; &nbsp; - Quitter / -20 points
    &raquo; Reaction from opponent but no fight in the end:
    &nbsp; &nbsp; - If you can proove the other one is not even interested in the fight show this (maybe a screenshot of a chat or so) and the match counts like there's no reaction from opponent.
    &nbsp; &nbsp; - Fight canceled, -10 for both and exclude from this Tournament.
    (If you're not totally stupid I suggest you to request an enlargement of the Time Limit here)
    &nbsp; &nbsp; - Loser of the match, where next enemy for the winner of this match should be decided, gets a second chance.
  
  
• Your possibilities if you want to quit a tournament:
  • Abdicate a match: -3 points per match
    (recommend this in tournaments)
    
  • Excuse from a tournament: -10 points for whole tournament
    (recommend this in battles)
    
  • Within the first three days of the first round of a Tournament the Fighter will be replaced.
    In other case the fights are set 3 : 0 for the others.
  
  
• You lose 1 point for each post and thread you create about stuff which is answered in the FAQ Threads!
  
• As long as you have negative points you are not allowed to take part in Official Tournaments, you can get back to zero with Private Tournaments.
  
• The maximum of negative points you can get is -20.
  
• If you have positive points again and you took part in a Tournament successfully the Quitter-Rank is deleted, too.
  

<a id="F9">How are the winners of preliminary rounds / battles appointed?</a>
<a href="#x">(Back to top)</a>

• In preliminary rounds every fighter have to battle against every other fighter in this group
  
• The two fighters with the most overall-wins get ahead
  
• In battles the match between the guys with the same number of over-all wins counts.
  
• In case two fighters have the same number of overall-wins the fighter having more single-wins get ahead.
  (for example he lost one match 3:2 he has still 2 single-wins)
  
• In case two fighters have the same number of single-wins the fighter having less single-battles lost get ahead
  (so if you win all fights 3:0 you didn't lose and single-battles)
  
• In case this is still the same the two fighters have to fight again and the winner get ahead
  
• If these points are used to decide who wins the third cup the worser guy gets same extrapoints but no cup (so like place four).
