The goal of the tournament is to determine the strongest player through a qualifying stage and a final game.
The tournament is played using Terraforming Mars.
The tournament runs from July 1 to July 22.
Games will be scheduled on dates and times agreed upon by the participants within this period.
If, for objective reasons, participants are unable to complete all required games before the tournament deadline, the organizers reserve the right to extend the tournament period for a reasonable amount of time.
The fee includes:
The tournament consists of two stages.
Each participant plays 3 ranked games.
All games are played with 4 players per table.
Organizers will make reasonable efforts to minimize repeat matchups between players.
If the total number of participants is not divisible by four, organizers may schedule additional games for certain players. In such cases, organizers will announce in advance which games count toward the player's ranking.
A tournament ranking is created based on the results of the three qualifying games.
The four players with the highest number of tournament points after the qualifying stage advance to the Final.
The Final consists of a single game of Terraforming Mars played under the same rules as the qualifying stage.
The winner of the Final becomes the winner of the tournament.
Players finishing second, third, and fourth in the Final will take the corresponding places in the final tournament standings.
The time limit for each game is 4 hours.
If the time limit is reached:
If two or more players finish a game with the same number of Victory Points (VP), the higher place is awarded to the player with more MegaCredits.
If players remain tied after comparing MegaCredits, they are considered tied for that position.
If players share a position, each player receives the tournament points assigned to that position.
| Position | Tournament Points |
|---|---|
| 1st | 5 |
| 2nd | 3 |
| 3rd | 2 |
| 4th | 1 |
If two or more players have the same number of tournament points after the qualifying stage, the following tiebreakers are applied:
If the tiebreakers are still insufficient to determine the finalists, the organizers will make the final decision.
A scoring sheet is used for every tournament game.
After the game ends, players complete the result sheet together, including:
The completed result sheet is considered the official result of the game and must be submitted to the organizers.
If a gameplay mistake is discovered, players must immediately notify the organizers.
If the mistake can be corrected without significantly affecting subsequent decisions, organizers may perform a rollback.
Rollbacks may be performed during the next player's turn, provided that no significant actions have been taken that could affect player decisions.
If a fair rollback is not possible, organizers will determine the most appropriate resolution.
In situations where the rules, official FAQs, or official clarifications do not provide a clear answer, the organizers will make the final ruling.
Organizer decisions are final.
Prize distribution will be announced before the first tournament game begins.
Participation in the tournament constitutes acceptance of these rules.
Organizers reserve the right to make clarifications or adjustments to the tournament regulations before the first game begins, provided that all participants are informed.
