Tournaments FAQ

[enomis]

Hello guys,

I would like to ask, how do I search for a tournament? I noticed that I can only see one tournament in the home page(The most popular one)

Go to the play Lobby, click on the cup of coffee (upper left of the page) choose tournaments.

From Competition / Tournaments, you can see the list of tournaments and register for one of them.

Where is "Competition / Tournaments?"

Edit: I see that it was asked just above. Perhaps update the FAQ to be more clear?

Is it possible to host a tournament where the participants use the same wifi?

Technically the participants are not premium members, so they won't be able to play normal games together. But considering that this is a tournament hosted by a premium member, is this allowed?

Anyone know the answer to this? I was hoping to do the same

The same happens to me, I try to create a tournament with prizes to the winners of XP and no option comes out and it is created directly with 0XP. It also doesn't let me create tournaments with more than 15 participants.

I did not see this listed in the FAQ or from a Google search, hope someone can help me find an answer.

I recently finished a 15 person round robin tournament of Kingdomino. I was awarded 2nd place even though I had the same record as the winner and beat the winner of the tournament in our head-to-head match. In most tournaments the head-to-head result is used as the tournament tiebreaker when multiple people are tied with the same record.

My question is: What does BGA use to determine tournament tiebreakers? It appears they do not use the traditional head-to-head result tiebreaker.

Bonus question: Do you know what is used on BGA as tournament tiebreakers in other tournament formats that aren't round robin?

Thank you for your help!

I once asked a similar question, although I'm not sure what the tournament type was. Back then the answer was that the 'oldest' BGA member, so the one with the earliest join date, would be the first. I think it depends on the game and type of tournament though. As I have seen tournaments where points earnt by the opponents over the different games matters.

Depends on the game. Most games have a tie-breaker rule for that.

Otherwise it gets drawn randomly I think.
