Qualifying Round: December 9, 2016 – January 6, 2017
Elimination Round: starts January 9, 2017

Qualifying Round

  1. Anyone who has purchased the game and/or the expansion can join the tournament by playing Ranked Multiplayer mode on PC, Mac, iOS, or Android.
  2. Player must host or join a ranked multiplayer game with any setting or number of players. If there are several Ranked MP matches open, you will matched at random and you cannot select who you are playing against.
  3. The game uses an Elo ranking system. By default, players have 1000 rank points. After every match, the winning player takes points from the losing one. The difference between the ratings of the winner and loser determines the total number of points gained or lost after a game. Players with higher points will rank higher in the leaderboard.
  4. A minimum of 10 ranked games must be played in order to qualify.
  5. The leaderboard will be reset before the start of the tournament. At the end of the qualifying rounds, the top 16 players in the leaderboard will move on to the next phase: the elimination tournament.

  • Disable VP Win: Off
  • Quick Battle Scene: Off

Scheduling Matches:

  • You and your opponent will have one week to schedule and complete your best of three match. Since we have players from different time zones, please plan to be available at least a few days per week at odd hours so that everyone can play their games without any problems.
  • For everyone’s convenience, you can arrange matches using the Discord server #tournament channel (https://discord.gg/010B25KKhFcUalCDH). If your Challonge handle is different than your Callasia or Discord username, please edit your name for this event only so that players can find each other easily with no issues.
  • If you are unable to contact your opponent within the first two days of your match being posted, please report to @legendsofcallasia on Discord so we can help find them.
  • If a player does not respond within four (4) days then they will forfeit their current match.
  • If players cannot accommodate each other’s schedules and no time can be arranged where they can play then the match will be randomly awarded by the contest administrators.

Streaming / Reporting Results:

  • Everyone is encouraged to stream and highlight their games on Twitch so others can watch (and for review purposes in case of any issues)
  • If you are unable/unwilling to stream, feel free to ask on Discord so a moderator or streamer can spectate. If no one is available, please upload a screenshot of the result screens showing both players’ names and scores.
  • Post and tag @legendsofcallasia on Discord with links to the videos/screenshots.

Bugs and Technical Issues:

  • Report bugs to the dev team via Discord (#bug-reports channel) or email (legends@boomzap.com)
  • If the bug or glitch decided the outcome of a game, then the game should be replayed.
  • If it was something minor that had little or no bearing on the game then play should continue.
  • If you and your opponent are unable to reach a consensus on whether the bug or glitch was game deciding, contact the dev team to reach a fair decision for both players.
  • In case any exploits are discovered, additional rules may be applied to prevent any abuse.
