Rules

GENERAL


The tournament rules include the general rules for the applicable rules.


All times are in CEST.


Registration opens on 01/09/22 from 2pm to 11.59pm and is by KTA Classic team. The top 16 in KTA Season 6 is assured of a spot if registering before 3pm.


The tournament takes place on the weekend of 03-04/09/22.


PARTICULARITIES OF THE BLITZ FORMAT


The delay allowed before forfeit to launch the draft is reduced to 5 minutes.


Draft picks are reduced to 30 seconds.


The preparation time after the end of the draft is reduced to 10 minutes (the "forfeit" time displayed at the end of the draft cannot be changed, so 20 minutes less must be considered).


During the pools, the draw rule is lowered to the beginning of round 13 instead of the beginning of round 21. These draws do not give any points to the 2 teams.


In the final phases, the first team to be in a numerical superiority situation from the beginning of round 13 wins the match.


These rules should allow to be on a maximum timing close to one hour for the whole cycle draft + preparation + match.


The Blitz Cup having a minor stake and a test format, we invite you to be fair and to understand. The rules take priority in case of conflict but an amicable solution is always preferable.


QUALIFICATIONS


The 96 teams are divided into 16 pools of 6 teams. If the tournament is not full, then pools will be incomplete.


Each team plays all the other teams in its pool in BO1.


The first match is at 2pm and the time of the following matches is given as a guide: they can be started earlier if both teams are available, but not later. If a game goes over the time of the next game, then the teams have the right to a 5 minutes break before starting the next game.


The ranking criteria are: Tournament Points > Direct results between teams (regardless of the number of deaths) > Additional Points > Addition of the opponent's tournament points for each draft won against a team > KTA Ranking.


FINAL PHASES


The 2 best teams of each pool qualify for the final phases, played in BO1 except the final in BO3.


The RO32 is at 3pm and the time of the following phases until the semis is indicative: the games can be launched earlier if the 2 teams are available, but not later. If a game goes over the time of the next game, then the teams have the right to a 5 minutes break before starting the next game.


The final game is in BO3 and must be started at 8pm.
