🎮 FORMAT

64 Players max. A waiting list is available (don’t forget to check-in if you want to have the possibility to be selected as a player in case a spot become available).

Starting Time: June 3rd at 1pm CEST.

Check-in: start at 12am CEST and end at 1pm CEST.

Best of 3 Matches. Single Elimination Bracket.

1. Decks rules:

• You must use a different Arkhome (i.e. element) for your leader on each game within a Bo3 (you can keep the same SA). Example: on your game 1 you play a deck with a Water leader, it means you can’t play with a Water leader on game 2 & 3. If you choose a Fire leader on game 2, it means you can’t play with a Water or Fire leader on game 3.

• All cards allowed (rotation/training/digital/NFT).

2. Game set-up:

Each player must start at least one game within a Bo3, using the custom mode of the game-client as follow:

• Game 1: must be set up on “random” for the starting player.
• Game 2: change of 1st player, meaning that the person who played first on game 1 must play second on game 2; we advise that the player who played first on game 1 creates the game 2 and sets it up on “opponent start”.
• Game 3 (if any): must be set up on “random” for the starting player.

No affix: in the custom mode of the game-client, the game must be set up on “Classic” for both Affixes.

❓ FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

1. Check-in

• Should I check-in to enter in the tournament?

Yes, you have 1 hour (from 12 am to 1 pm CEST) to check-in before we start.

2. Matches

• How can I see the brackets and my opponent for each match?

The tab “Brackets” on this page will be updated after the tournament starts. When results are entered the brackets will be updated too (you will need to refresh the page).

• What does "BYE" and "TBD" means on the brackets?

If your opponent on the brackets is "BYE", it means you have no opponent for this round and will advance to the next round automatically. "TBD" means "to be determined": you need to wait the result of the previous round to know your opponent (and refresh your page to see it).

• What do I do when my match start?

You need to go to your match room (accessible when your match begin, and that you can find back through the bracket with your name) and validate your presence. You have 10mn to do so. If you are late you will be considerate as AFK. If you are late call a referee, depending of your delay he will decide to validate or not your presence.

• How can I communicate with my opponent?

Go to your match room (accessible when your match begin, and that you can find back through the bracket with your name), there you will be able to chat with your opponent to decide who will create the game for each match (we advise the person more confortable with the custom mode to create the first game of the Bo3). If you have difficulties you can communicate on our discord too. We will remind people of the advancement of the tournament on our discord (in the #brackets channel).

• How can I prove my victory?

During the tournament, when you win a game, you must take and put a screenshot of your victory (board + scoring) in your match room. You also need to put the result of the Bo3 on community gaming (you can find the button to enter the results in your match room). The 2 players must report the result to confirm it, 1 screenshot is enough for each game. You can call a referee if you need help.

• If there is a draw, who wins?

A draw is counted as a draw (0 point for each player). You need to continue your Bo3 until the end of the 3 games. Then, if there is still a draw on results (meaning the score is 1-1 with 1 draw or 0-0 with 3 draws), you will do a 4th game to determinate the winner: if there is again a draw, the player with the highest remaining time at the end of this game will win. For this 4th game, you will need again to change the Arkhome (i.e. element) of your leader.

• Dispute:

If there is a dispute on the set up or the result of a game, call a referee in your match room (there is a button to call one), or on our discord (tag [ARK] Shin7 or [ARK] Azphel or [ARK] Drunky). The referee will hear you out and decide. His decision is final. For the top 4 matches, the 3 referees will decide together.

• How can I check the set up of a game my opponent created?

At the start of a game, you can display on the right panel the logs of the actions played. The first logs are about the creation of the game. You will be able to see if your opponent did choose the right set up for the custom mode (starting player "random", etc.).

• Penalties:

1. For game 2 or 3, if a player use a deck with the same Arkhome (i.e. element) for his leader as a previous game , his opponent is entitled to claim the win for this game.

• To claim this win, he MUST report it (with a screenshot) to a referee before the beginning of the turn 9 of the game, otherwise the result of the game will count as valid.
• Instead of claiming the win (before turn 9), he can agree to rematch.
• The player who make the mistake have the right to a rematch if he realizes it right away and report it (with a screenshot) to a referee in his match room before he plays any card.

2. For game 2, if the player who creates the game makes a mistake when setting up the first player, the match MUST be replayed if one of the players report it (with a screenshot) and ask for a rematch before the beginning of turn 9. Otherwise the result of the game will be considered valid.

3. In any case when there is a rematch, the 2 players MUST keep the same deck.

3. Stream

• Individual stream:

You are free to stream your matches, but we ask you to put a 10mn delay to avoid being stream hacked (it would be your responsibility).

• Top 8:

We will ask the participants of one Bo3 of the top 8 to share their screen to allow us to stream their Bo3. The stream will have a 10mn delay.

• Top 4:

All people who enter this tournament agree to have their matches streamed for the top 4 (semi-finals & final) and to share their screen to allow us to cast theses matches. The stream will have a 10mn delay.

4. Prize

• When will I get my cash prize?

Tournament prizes should be paid out in the next 3 weeks after the tournament ends. We will provide a list of the winners and their prize on our discord.

• How will I get my cash prize?

1. On our discord, [ARK] Shin7 or [ARK] Marco will ask you to confirm your game pseudo: the rewards in prana will be send directly to you by the CTA team in the form of a redeem code to enter in your game client.

2. The prize in USDC will be directly paid on your wallet on Community gaming (it will be USDC on the Polygon network). There might be a small variation (some cents) on what you get due to the technical set up of the smart contract used by Community Gaming (for example if you won 10 USDC, you could get 10.02 or 9.99). You will be able to send these USDC from your Community Gaming wallet to any wallet you want (remember they will be on the Polygon network!).
