Tournament

Tournaments allow players to battle against each other in a competitive environment in order to get pansuns, titles and various other items.

Requirements

In order to join a tournament a player needs to fulfill two requirements:

• Having a valid competitive squad.
• Finished all 10 placement matches.

Joining a Tournament

After navigating to the "Tournaments" section in the menu the player will see three entries where they will be able to see when each tournaments will be held. The tournaments are held each week at specific times and are as follows:

• Sunday, 1 am UTC
• Sunday, 9 am UTC
• Sunday, 5 pm UTC

By clicking on the "Subscribe" button the player will receive a notification 30 minutes before the tournament begins. Subscribing only sends a notification and is not related to the registration process. Once the starting time is reached the player will be able to join the tournament using the "join" button in the same tournament menu. Only players which join the tournament are able to see the tournament brackets.

Tournament Leagues

Each tournament consists of 16 players (minimum 13) and players will be grouped together in four different leagues according to their current TMR value. The leagues are as follows:

League Name	League Emblem	League TMR Range	League Name	League Emblem	League TMR Range
Bronze		0-799	Silver		800-1199
Gold		1200-1499	Diamond		1500+

If 13 out of 16 players in the same league join a tournament, the remaining 3 players will be selected depending on how close their TMR is to the league range. If there are less than 13 players in a certain league TMR range, they will be assigned to the next lower league. Since the tournaments will be conducted with 16 players there is a possibility that some players are unable to participate. The affected players will be informed through a notification. Multiple tournaments for the same league are possible at the same time. In that case the average TMR of each bracket within the same leagues will be grouped together.

Tournament Procedure

The tournaments will be held in the single elimination format. This means that after each round the number of participants will be halved. Each player has to win five rounds in a row to win the tournament. The first four rounds will be held as a single match. The final fifth round will be played as a "best of 3" meaning the player who reaches 2 wins first will win the fifth round and the tournament. After losing the tournament, players are still able to spectate the tournament in which they participated.

Restrictions

Team configurations cannot be changed during the tournament but the player is able to select a different team for each match. Also the turn timers are lower comparing to a regular competitive match. The following table shows all differences:

Type	Competitive Timer	Tournament Timer
Pick and Ban turn	20 Seconds	20 seconds
Pick and Ban reserve	40 seconds	40 seconds
Match turn	40 seconds	30 seconds
Match reserve	120 seconds	90 seconds

Rewards

Players will receive different rewards based on their performance.

Pansun

The amount of pansuns the player receives is based on the number of rounds a player wins as well as the league of the player. The following table shows all possible pansun rewards:

Victories	Bronze	Silver	Gold	Diamond
0	0	0	0	0
1	1,300	3,250	5,525	8,580
2	2,800	7,000	11,900	18,480
3	4,500	11,250	19,125	29,700
4	6,400	16,000	27,200	42,240
5	8,500	21,250	36,125	56,100

Math:

The following formula applies:

Pansun Reward = $LeagueConstant*nVictories*(1.2+{\tfrac {nVictories}{10}})$

LeagueConstant:

• Tournament 0+ = 1000
• Tournament 800+ = 2500
• Tournament 1200+ = 4250
• Tournament 1500+ = 6600

Items

Only the top 4 players of a tournament receives item rewards. The winner of the tournament will receive more items than the remaining 3 players. The following items can be acquired from tournaments:

• Egg technique courses
• Pheromones
• WishYouWell Coins
• Telomere Hacks
• Telomere Hotfixes
• The winner of a Silver, Gold or Diamond Tournament will also receive a guaranteed Telomere Hotfix: Trait Swap.
• Placing second in a Gold or Diamond Tournament will also award a Telomere Hotfix: Trait Swap.

Titles and Medals

By winning a tournament the player receives an exclusive title. This title is different each month and contains the league symbol and the year/month in which the player won the tournament.

The winner will also receive a tournament medal according to the league they won. Medals can be viewed on the player's profile.

League Name	League Medal	League Name	League Medal
Bronze		Silver
Gold		Diamond

Update History

• Patch 1.4
  • They will now consist on 16 people, with a minimum of 13, instead of requiring 32 players with a minimum of 25.
  • The Kudo and achievement/trophy associated to taking part in an in-game tournament will now pop-up if the tournament you sign up for falls through because of lack of players, so players on the lower ranks can now be more at ease.
• Patch 1.0.2
  • The winners of the Diamond, Gold and Silver tournaments will now also receive 1 Telomere Hotfix: Trait Swap.
  • The players that end up in second place in a Diamond or Gold tournaments will now also receive 1 Telomere Hotfix: Trait Swap.
• Early Access 0.7.5
  • We’ve changed the minimum number of players for a Tournament to 21.
  • Before, the system would try to pack as many players as possible in a tournament until it was filled entirely, even if it meant that 10 other players would not get a tournament at all. Now, it will take into account the number of participants and split them so it can create as many tournaments per league as possible.
  • 👥We’ve revisited and improved the current Tournament rewards so they’re more consistent:
  • We’ve improved and upped the rewards for winning a Tournament.
  • We’ve also added rewards for the top 4 players of each Tournament. These don’t affect the current Pansun rewards nor the rewards for winning; these only add to them.
