Hey all! ๐Ÿ™‚

The new tournament series BGA Masters 2022 starts on February 1st.

1 BGA Masters โ€“ what is that?

BGA Masters is a tournament series which takes place online at Board Game Arena. It is divided into the following phases:

Image

Every player can take part in any number of tournaments.
Participation with more than one nickname is prohibited.

2 Qualification tournaments

All 50 qualification tournaments are played turn based (game speed 7 days per player) in knockout system.
The best 32 players of each qualification tournament collect points which flow into a ranking:

3 Ranking

The points that a player has accumulated in all qualifying tournaments are added together.
After the 50 qualification tournaments have been played, the first 16 players in the ranking qualify for the playoffs:

4 Playoffs

In the playoffs a real time match with the following match length will be played:

Image

The games are drawn (from the 50 games). Each player can use 3 vetoes if he wants to skip a game. The second-named player, who was placed lower in the ranking, must always indicate first whether he would like to use his veto.

5 Netiquette

At the BGA Masters, special emphasis is placed on fair and friendly interaction with one another.
Anyone who does not want to adhere to them should please avoid the BGA Masters.
Players who are conspicuous due to particularly unsportsmanlike behavior can be excluded from the BGA Masters.

Feedback or suggestions for improvement are very welcome.

I wish all participants an exciting and successful BGA Masters season! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

No ELO - no problem! :)

If you have < 100 ELO in a game but you would like to take part in that tournament, just send me a message and I will invite you to that tournament.

As an FYI if you copy the private link invitation for each tournament and paste them in here that allows people to sign up with less than 100 ELO :)

Hey all! ๐Ÿ™‚

First of all, thank you for your great interest in this tournament! I didn't expect so many participants.

Due to the high number of participants, the game committee has decided to make some adjustments to the ranking points:
