Harmonies Copa Universalis Tournaments
Posted: 21 September 2026, 19:18
There are 4 main variants of Harmonies (A side vs. B side, spirits yes/no). Wouldn't it be nice to have a tournament series that includes all 4 variants and to crown the ultimate Harmonies champion? Yes! We are going to have it. I created a series of 4 tournaments starting 19th October, you can find all information below. I gave it the humble name Copa Universalis - Mega Masters. Only Good+ players can join.
(Note: The usual Spiritless Spectacle program will probably continue with a Winter League later this year.)

Mega Masters IV (B Side, no spirits, 9th Nov) - https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=605533
You can join any number of them.
Tournament Rules:
Each tournament consists of 16 round-robin groups with up to 6 players, the best 3 in each group go to the KO stage.
1st places: Skip KO round 1 and start in KO round 2.
2nd to 3rd places: Start in KO round 1.
Copa Universalis Score
For each tournament, your tournament score is the sum of group points and KO points.
- Group points are the final group stage scores (2 x wins + ties)
- KO points - every win or bye in a KO round scores one point
-> The maximum tournament score is 16 = 5x2 + 6x1.
Main ranking
For each individual person, the best three tournament scores are added up, the worst one of the four gets nullified. If you join only three tournaments, your worst one is automatically the one you skipped. The maximum score is 48. Everyone who joins at least three tournaments appears in this ranking.
Honest ranking
All four tournament scores are added up, the maximum score is 64. All players who join all four tournaments appear in this ranking.
Tiebreakers
Ties in both rankings are resolved by:
(1) Average number of KO wins/byes in the tournaments you started
(2) Average cumulated game score differences in group stages in the tournaments you started
(NOTE: Even if a tournament is not counted in the main ranking, it is still counted in the tiebreaker. It's simply much easier to handle this way.)
I wanted to increase accesibility, hence you do not need to join all 4 tournaments to participate. I think both rankings have their merits and prestige. The overall rankings are created and updated by me - I will create a Google sheet and share it. Have fun and good luck!
