Rounds and Timings

Team pairings will be determined on Sunday evenings using the Swiss system. The first round will be random pairings.

The captains of the teams will have from monday to wednesday to set the pairings of their eight players using the «swords and shields» system. In this section we explain how to do it. Any pairings that are not communicate to the Tournament Organizer before wednesday night, will be randomly assigned to give continuity to the round.

From thursday (or from the time that captains communicate to the Tournament Organizer his players pairings) to sunday, players will be able to play their games until the round is completed.

The missions to be played in each tournament will be specified when the tournament is announced.

Within each team of eight players, no faction may be repeated.

The keys Asuryani, Craftworlds, Harlequins and Ynnari are also considered to be of the same faction.

Dropouts

In case a game cannot be played, the score to be assigned will depend on several assumptions:

  1. If one of the players voluntarily notifies his opponent indicating that he cannot play the game. A score of 20 – 0 will be determined in favor of the player who could play the game.
  2. If a player does not respond to messages to arrange a time to play the game. A score of 20 – 0 will be determined in favor of the player who could play the game.
  3. In case both players can play the game, but they are not able to agree on a common timetable and in the end the game is not played, a score of 10 – 10 will be determined.

In all these cases or any other that is not covered here, the organizer will make the decision it deems most appropriate.
