Preliminary Rounds
- Participants play freely at least six games in their Class room
during the Preliminary Rounds. Participants are not allowed to play with
the same person twice.
- The top 64 players from the Main Class and the top 16 players, selected from the Ranked Classes can proceed to the Final Rounds.
*Selection into the Final Rounds is based on ranking, see below. In
addition, ranking comparison is decided within each of the three
regional groups (Asia & Oceania, Europe & Africa, North and
South America).
*Main Class 64 players (Asia & Oceania 32, Europe & Africa 16, North and South America 16)
*A-C Class 16 players each Class (Asia & Oceania 8, Europe & Africa 4, North and South 4)
The ranking is determined by points in descending order.
- 1. Points = W / N + W * 0.02 (W = number of wins, N = number of games played)
Example: you win 3 out of 6 games, you collect 3/6 + 3 * 0.02 = 0.56 points.
Example: you win 4 out of 8 games, you collect 4/8 + 4 * 0.02 = 0.58 points. - With tied points, player with higher number of wins is ranked higher.
- With tied points and wins, player with higher number of SOS (sum of opponents’ score) is ranked higher.
- With tied points, wins, and SOS, the players are ranked equal.
