How does the Tournament System work?
(Back to top)

• 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.

What's the difference between private and official Tournaments?
(Back to top)

• 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.

Points / Pointcount
(Back to top)

• 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.

Calculation of Matchpoints
(Back to top)

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)

Calculation of Extrapoints
(Back to top)

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)

Calculation of Teampoints (2vs2)
(Back to top)

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)

Awards
(Back to top)

• 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.

Unfought Matches / Penalty Points / Quitter-Rank
(Back to top)

• 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:
    » No fight submitted by one players: Quitter / -20 points
    » Some fights unfought: Canceled (Sign: // ) / lost chance to win
    
  • Tournaments:
    » 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).
    » No reaction from opponent:
        - 3 : 0
        - Quitter / -20 points
    » Reaction from opponent but no fight in the end:
        - 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.
        - 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)
        - 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.
  

How are the winners of preliminary rounds / battles appointed?
(Back to top)

• 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).
