General rules

These rules apply to official tournaments organized by the KTA on Dofus 2.

Specific tournament rules imply the general rules and take precedence over them in case of conflict.

The KTA organization reserves the right to modify all or part of the rules to ensure the smooth running of events.

Because each situation is unique, the KTA organization reserves the right to apply an appropriate penalty to each violation of the rules. This can range from a simple warning to a permanent ban from the KTA, and Ankama Games can also add a penalty depending on the nature of the fault. In addition, criminal action may conduct the accused in judicial proceedings.

When a player is discovered to be in violation of this rule during a tournament, he must have his correct nickname back immediately. If this discovery takes place during a qualification phase, then his team loses a third of the Tournament Points and Additional Points held at the time of discovery (the penalty is applied at the end of the qualification phase). If it is during the elimination phase, then the team is immediately disqualified. The penalty is the same whether there is one or more team members involved.

  • he or she is in the team for at least 3 consecutive finished tournaments

Tournaments

Tournament server

• All KTA tournaments are played on a specific Dofus server called the "tournament server".
• Explanations about this server and its access are available on this page, which serves as regulation.
• Assistance with access is available on this page.

Registrations

• Nicknames entered in a tournament registration are those which must obligatory be taken on the tournament server. If some nicknames are unavailable on the server then players have to modify their registration (by themselves before the end of the registrations, or by contacting an organizer after the end of the registrations).
• In case of registration with several accounts belonging to the same player, then all the usernames must be similar. Example: Shax, Shax-one, Shax-two.
• The KTA Discord server can be used to search for teammates.
• A registration help page is available here.

Drafts

• All KTA matches start with a draft phase. This determines the compositions played by each of the teams for the upcoming match.
• Drafts must be made on the draft module of the KTA. Information about the use of the module and the drafts process can be found at this page.
• Teams must join their draft within 10 minutes of the indicated match schedule. Once this period passed, the absent teams are declared forfeit. If both teams are absent, then it is a double forfeit.
• Once the draft is completed, teams must have started the match by a time limit indicated on the draft; this time limit is included in the authorized limit and must not be exceeded. Teams not ready in time may be forfeited by their opponents (see "Matches" for the conditions to get a forfeit).

Matches

• All KTA tournaments are played in 3v3 matches on a map of the Goultard Arena on the tournament server Dofus.
• Playing several characters within the same team during a match is authorized for all tournaments except the Dofus Masters.
• If a teammate is absent, except at Dofus Masters, it is permitted to use a secondary tournament account of a player present (this must be named with a nickname similar to the main account).
• KTA players must search for their opponents to start the games at the specified time. You can send a private message on Dofus via the "/w CharacterName" or search for your opponents on the KTA Discord server. All players’ nickname are on the tournament pages of the KTA website.

• It is forbidden to arrange a match result.
• The use of certain bugs can be sanctioned, the list of the concerned bugs (if there is any) is communicated at each tournament. Bugs that are not part of this list can also lead to sanctions if they are not or not well known and used voluntarily. It is necessary to consult the organization in case of doubt.
• If a team wishes to benefit from a forfeit victory due to a fault of its opponents, it must manifest itself immediately after the fault is committed. Continuing the draft or the match without informing the organization and the opponents after this fault means giving up the right to forfeit.
• A match for which a valid result has already been communicated is never (re)started, unless the organization decides to do so.
• Spectator mode must remain open during all matches.
• For multiple matches confrontations, not being present on time for the first draft means forfeiting the entire confrontation.

• A team which miss two rounds of the same tournament without justification accepted by the organization is eliminated from this tournament and does not receive any associated reward.

Additional points

• At the end of each qualifiers match of a tournament, the teams receive some additional points depending on the match result. These points are a ranking criterion.
• Additional points are distributed as well. The result corresponds to the number of characters alive in each team at the end of the match.

Result	Winners	Losers
3 - 0	60	0
2 - 0 3 - 1 at the beginning of the turn 16	50	10
1 - 0 3 - 2 or 2 - 1 at the beginning of the turn 16 Win with Golden Kill	40	20
Draw (as many players alive at the beginning of the turn 21 in case of a match with the draw rule)	30
Forfeit	60	-10

• Where rules stipulate it, the Percentage of Adverse Victory (PVA) can be a ranking criterion. It is calculated by adding the victories of the teams met divided by the number of games played by the teams met.

In the future, the same system as between Championships 1 and 2 will take place between Championship 2 and the 1st of 2024, with the Dofus Masters giving a Gold place instead of the Dofus World Cup..

Points KTA

Teams earn KTA points based on their performance in tournaments. These points are used to keep an overall ranking of the season and to select the participants for the Dofus Masters.
