Format

The tournament will have two phases : - First phase is a Swiss round qualifier in 5 rounds. Matches will be played in a best-of-3-games format. - Second phase is a single elimination playoff in which the seedings will be made from the final ranking of the qualifier (first vs last, etc...). Matches will be played in a best-of-5-games format. The best 16 players will be qualified for that final phase.

The ranking of the qualifier will be made following these criterias in order : 1) Number of points of the player (1 point for a win, 0.5 point for a draw, 0 point for a loss) 2) Average percentage of win of all the player's opponents 3) Games win percentage of the player 4) Games win percentage of all the player's opponents 5) In the unlikely case of a perfect tie, a toss will be made to rank the tied players

Matches

Once your opponent is announced, you have 7 days to contact and play the match with your opponent. An additional 24 hours will be granted if asked by players in advance.

Games must be played with the standard Mindbug First Contact deck (48 creatures) + upgrade pack (24 creatures), using the original ruleset.

Match support

1) We had a bug on the app which had an impact on the result of our match. Please ping "batotoro" on the dedicated channel on Discord as soon as you had this kind of bug, please provide screenshots too. You can then decide with your opponent if you want to replay the match or ignore the bug. In case of disagreement, please contact "heropon_" on Discord.

2) We need more time to play or finish our match Before the end of the 7 days window time for playing the round (a reminder will be send on Discord 48 and 24 hours before the end), players must provide evidence that they have scheduled a precise time for playing the game, then an additional delay of 24h can be given to both player.

3) I have not been able to contact my opponent or, we have not been able to organize a time to play. Please keep record of all communication as the match will be considered a draw unless you can prove your opponent was suitably unavailable. Cases will be determined on a case-by-case basis please contact "heropon_" on Discord with your proof.

4) My opponent and I have a disagreement about who won after the match has already finished. It is hoped that players will be honest about match wins and losses however, it is difficult for tournament organizers to intervene without evidence or proof. Players may wish to take screenshots to track game wins/losses or use other tracking tools to prevent disagreement.
