GENERAL


The tournament rules include the general rules as well as the Bronze League rules.


Teams are divided into 3 divisions based on their performance in previous tournaments. A team that registers for the first time joins division 3.


All times are in CEST.


Registrations are open from 16/05/22 at 2:00 pm until 20/05/22 at 11:59 pm.


The tournament takes place from 22/05/22 to 21/06/22 according to the schedule present in the Calendar tab. It is composed of 12 Swiss rounds and playoffs for division 1 from RO32.


Reminders of the general rules:

  • all matches are played after a draft phase on the KTA draft module. More information about drafts here
  • teams can have 10 minutes late to start the draft, and 30 minutes of preparation between the end of the draft and the match start (it has to begin before the "forfeit" time indicated on the draft)



QUALIFYING ROUNDS


Teams can only play against teams from the same division. It is possible to move up a division during the tournament via "fast ups". More information on the Bronze League rules.


During the rounds, the draft letter for each match is determined as follows: if a team had less often the choice than its opponent in its previous matches, then it has the letter choice for the match. If both teams had so much choice in their previous matches, then the letter choice is randomly assigned.


A victory earns 3 Tournament Points, a draw earns 1 Tournament Point, a defeat earns no Tournament Points. Additional Points are also distributed as defined in the general regulations.


The classification criteria are in order of priority: Tournament Points > Percentage of Victory of Opponents encountered (PVA) > Additional Points > Direct result between the teams > Best team defeated. Tie-break games will be held as needed on 03/06/22 8pm.



PLAYOFFS


The 32 best teams in qualifiers in division 1 are qualified in playoffs, which are played in double elimination, with a Winner Bracket and a Loser Bracket.


The confrontations are played in 2 winning matches (BO3). The highest-ranked team in qualifiers has the draft letter choice in games 1 and 3, the other team has it in game 2. Drafts are made as games go on and not all at the beginning. Drafts for games 2 and 3 must be thrown within 10 minutes of the end of the previous game, without possible delay.


The top 16 starts in the Winner Bracket, with the top 1 vs the top 16, 2 vs 15, etc. If a team loses in the Winner Bracket, it moves into the Loser Bracket.


Top 17 to 32 starts in the Loser Bracket, with top 17 vs top 32, 18 vs 31, etc. If teams lose in the Loser Bracket, they are eliminated. The Loser Bracket of the Bronze Tournament ends after its second semifinal round.
