2. General rules.
- Each player who want to participate in the tournament should
send notification email to astral@astraltournament.com with
his/her login name NOT LATER that JAN-28 18:00 (GMT).
- All the participants must create (if not created before)
clean accounts before tournament start. Such account should
be named according the following rule: Group Letter + '='
sign + real login name. For example, if your login is John
Doe and you placed into group D, then you should create an
account with name D=John Doe.
- Only players having level 7 or higher can participate in
the tournament.
- If a game is not completed due to evident technical problems
(disconnect or something else) and both players agree to replay
the duel - they SHOULD notify the judge about this and replay
the duel.
3. Rules of the Main Round.
- Each player should play exactly ONE duel against each other
(in his group).
- Order of places is determined by number of wins.
- If some players have equal number of wins, then order of
places inside such group of players is determined by number
of wins considering games, played between these players only.
- If this rule doesn't allow to determine places, then additional
parameter will be calculated for each playes: total number
of wins of conquered players. This parameter should either
determine the places or split the group into several subgroups
where we can apply previous rule.
- If any of players didn't completed all his games, he removed
from the table and his games aren't considered in the scoring.
4. Rule of the Semifinal and Final Rounds.
- Players should play duels until score is 3:x.
