The Herdegrize tournament will be held on October 1 and 2, from 12 noon to 6 p.m. (Paris time).
The Grandapan tournament will be held on October 1 and 2, from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. (Paris time).
The referee team will be made up of organizers, moderators, and community helpers. Referees will look like owls in the game, so they'll be easy to identify.
By signing up for the tournament, all participants agree to comply with the following rules.
![]()
If a player fails to appear for a match, their team will lose by forfeit.
A second such absence will cause the team to be disqualified from the tournament.
The tournament will take place in the dedicated PvP area (Hall of the Valiant), available within the Kolossium. Matches will be selected through an Arena Draft stage between the captains of each team.
Access to these arenas will be through the Kolossium, at [-13,-29] in the room at the right.
Arenas
Arena Drafts
Before each match, there will be a strategic arena draft stage in which the captains will take turns excluding an arena of their choice.
The captain who goes first in this process will be the captain of the first team listed for each matchup. For example, in a matchup of "Team A vs. Team B", the captain of Team A will be the first to pick an arena to exclude from consideration.
Each team will exclude 4 arenas, taking turns excluding one arena at a time. The last remaining arena will be where the match is played.
The Swiss rounds system was chosen for the qualification tournaments because it meets two essential constraints by allowing the tournament to be held in a single weekend without having to limit the number of participants.
Each player will play in the same number of matches, and the matching criteria in use will result in a logical and fairly reliable ranking.
The Swiss rounds concept
The basic concept of a Swiss rounds tournament is that each player is matched up against an opponent who, thus far, has performed as well (or poorly) as themselves.
The first round is determined by a random drawing. Subsequent rounds are determined by a random drawing amongst the participants with the most similar results possible. For example, the second round will match teams with 1 victory against each other and match those with 1 loss against each other, etc.
The winners receive one point, and the losers receive no points.
After the last round, the players are ranked by their score; if two teams have the same score, they can be further distinguished by the sum of their opponents' scores (OWP for the stats nerds out there).
If there is a tie on OWP as well, and if the teams have already played against each other in the tournament, then the team that won that match is ranked higher. Otherwise, a tiebreaker match is played.
Rounds
The number of rounds needed to establish the ranking will depend on the number of participants.
There will be up to 4 rounds held on Saturday, and up to 4 rounds held on Sunday.
Tournaments produce winners, which of course means prizes! Ankama will give out the following prizes to the best players.
