Bans

Before the start of each series players must ban their opponent’s decks and notify each other about this choice. We recommend using this tool: https://teamaretuza.com/ban/ to perform this action and simultaneously receive the results. In this tournament we ban leaders, not factions.
Therefore, after the bans will be made, players will remain with:

● 2 decks available to them for any match during Group stage;
● 3 decks available to them for any match during Single Elimination stage.

It’s not required to report bans and picks in every match to the organizer but all players are encouraged to save screenshots and/or record videos to present those later in case of any disagreements with the opponent during the tournament.

Communication:

All eligible players need to join GWENT Prime Discord server: https://discord.gg/vjVXb7w. Discord will be used as the main communication tool for a duration of the tournament, however in order to communicate with their opponents players can use private messages on Discord or GOG.

Reporting results:

Players are responsible for updating the tournament page with the results of any finished series. Possible results include the following scores: 2-0, 0-2, 2-1, 1-2, 1-1 and 0-0.
In case of disputes between participants, screenshots of game results are always required when contacting Tournament Organizer (#results channel on Discord).

Bugs and disconnects:

In case of permanent disconnect from a game of GWENT for any reason, the disconnected players will automatically lose that game.
His/her opponent needs to report this issue to the #results channel on the Discord tournament server and provide a screenshot of the game’s end screen.
In case if both players are affected by the same technical issue (disconnect) and the game can’t be completed, this game result counts as a technical draw (both players will receive 1 point as per regular draw).
Participants who just started, played up to 4 rounds and suddenly disconnected, can come back and restart the game. If you picked a wrong deck and you acknowledged it up to 4 rounds, you can restart the game.

Round length

All players should make reasonable efforts to finish their matches within 60 minutes limit. In case if both players are present online and successfully contacted each other, but for any reason didn’t start their first game after 15 min since the beginning of any round - they obliged to notify tournament Organizer on Discord about this situation. Tournament Organizer at his sole discretion can add additional time for players to finish their game or to stop any match that will be unfinished after 60 minutes since the beginning of any round. Players are advised to pay attention to Discord notifications and provide timely updates by the Tournament Organizer requests at all time.

Firstly, participants will compete by playing games in a Group stage format over the course of 5 rounds. After the 5th round 15 best players (3 from each group) + 1 player with the most points/games will advance to the next stage.
