As multiple games will be played at once this tournament is open to premium members only.
This tournament will be loosely based on the Clipper Round the World yacht race.
At the start of each leg of the race the 36 participants will be randomly split into 6 groups of 6. For each game you win your yacht will catch the ocean breezes needed to reach the finish line first! Bonuses are also up for grabs: the quicker each game is won the stronger the wind will blow and the further your yacht will go!

At the start of each leg you will be sent invites to 3 games. The results of games 1 and 2 will be taken into account ahead of the result of game 3. If more games are needed to decide the winner of the leg these will be sent a game at a time.
Invites must be accepted within 48 hours or you risk being replaced by a reserve.
