Tournament "lives":
:steampunk: Singapore: :hypnoheart: :hypnoheart: :hypnoheart:
:steampunk: Amsterdam: :hypnoheart: :hypnoheart: :hypnoheart: :hypnoheart:
* Home Rules:
(1) All "Set-up" and "Second-hand" cards are removed from the deck.
(2) Each round, every player is presented with 3 cards and chooses the 1 card that they will receive after the current move. The other two cards go into the discard pile.
TOURNAMENT LIVES:
Each player has several lives ( :hypnoheart: ) in this tournament. With every session lost, you lose one :hypnoheart:. You will earn both main and additional tournament points for winning sessions as long as you have at least one :hypnoheart:.
If you have no more :hypnoheart:, you can still continue to play (to kick out other competing players), but you will not receive any more main tournament points for your own victories – however, you will continue to accumulate additional tournament points whenever the players whom you previously conquered (before or after losing your lives), score any further victories.
TOURNAMENT POINTS:
During this tournament, regular rating points are frozen for all players. Your tournament sessions do not affect your regular rating.
For each victory, players receive points that depend on the strength of the opponents over whom they have won (while no tournament points are granted for losses). Important: your tournament points will continue to increase with the increase in the tournament score of your past opponents, over whom you prevailed. What this means is that the tournament is never over for you as long as your previously conquered opponents continue to play, and win.
TOURNAMENT CHESTS:
During all tournament sessions, instead of regular and seasonal chests, only the special limited tournament chests will drop. As always, the chests are free and do not require any other items/keys to unlock and use/trade.
PRIZE FUND:
Awarded: Top 20 players on each of the servers.
