Are there a place where we can read the rules of autoturnaments in full detail?
I firmly believe that the answer is negative, while I would very much like it to be affirmative...
I don't know how to make a classification... There are Standard, Classic, Masters... Elimination sometimes goes after first round, sometimes after second round, sometimes after third round... Sometimes is half of players eliminated, sometimes third, sometimes quarter...
Tournaments with multiplayer games
I am currently playing some tournaments with 4 players games and some with 6 players games. In all of them, I am assuming, various places bring various number of points and after the round (or series of rounds) a certain number of players with least points is getting eliminated.
But guessing this isn't enough. I need to know in detail. How can I get the information needed?
Tournaments with two players games
That should be easy, but it isn't. My favorite type of tourney is Map Masters.
After first two rounds, half of players with most wins qualify for the third round (if two or more players have the same number of wins, decides the number of moves spent).
But listen a specific example (a bit of whining
):- In the first round I had a computer issue. For several moves, I combined two unqualified sitters with my playing on the phone (where I could easily make a fatal misclick). So I played only elementary moves. I somehow managed to win 2:1, but both my victories were too long, so everyone who has the same number of wins easily beats me...
- In the second round I am getting the most dangerous opponent and he gets the first move in all games. And he drops a continent bonus in one game!
Somehow I won one game and just barely, passed to next round
- The third round brings score reset, but are the points reset before or after the games?
I won 2:1, what I thought was quarterfinal match. But was it?
Eight players who were eliminated before third round have status 'eliminated'. Remaining eight players have status 'active', even those players who have lost "the quarterfinal match".
Three players are definitely above me, three players are definitely below me. If the eighth player loses 0:3, I am in definitely in the semifinals. If he loses only 1:2, he might play instead of me...
If the third round is quarterfinal, why are the losers still active?
If, after three rounds, a number of wins decides, why am I (with 5/9) above a player who has 6/6?
What is going on? How can I get the answers?
