Tuty agreed, all high quality games. Looking forward to the next tournament!
International Championship
Weidenbaum Ya I now agree totally, after going camping for three days in the woods and worrying about timing out.

Sorry, I just unintentionally invited again all players from previous season, even these who already declined my invitation.
I've sent BUG report to CGE.
Once again sorry for an inconvenience.

I am new to tournaments, and thank you for your detailed description of this one. I am unfamiliar with this format, so is this more of a regular season than a championship with a single winner? For instance, you helpfully stated that we play "four 4-player games and three 3-player games (7 total games) over approximately 2 months." This is what I would call the "regular season." But afterwards, what happens besides promotion, staying still and relegation? Is there a championship at the end based on final league standings? I don't believe so but just wanted to double check. Thank you!
Crazybastard77 just promotion and relegation based on your final position (like the Premier League). No final championship.

This will be my first Tournament. Do I get placed in wood league and have to win my way up, or is there some sort of placement matches? I might be more skilled than wood league players and the matches could end up being very one sided.
CleanerCode I carefully seed new players based on their in app level and win percentage. There is a chance you will start in Bronze.

Hello pajada, thanks for organising this! I participated in the last season but I didn't get no notification. On CGE Online I only had the app notification on, I turned the e-mail notification on as well now. Will I get a notification for the next season or do I have to keep a look out for it? Thanks again!
berpdreyfuss you should get also the email notification now (but sometimes it goes to spam...). To be sure you can visit directly the tournament page https://account.czechgames.com/tournaments/detail/21 between November 13 and 26 when sign up for the next season will be open.
pajada Great, I will do that, thanks!

@pajada I guess that seats are randomly assigned, is that correct? Have you considered, and is it technically possible, to assign seats in a more structured way? Since everyone plays four 4p-games, it is possible that everyone has 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th seat all exactly once . Similar for the three 3p-games.
weisswurst Yes, seats are randomly assigned because CGE tournament mode doesn't allow to seed players on exact seats in a game. I can ask CGE developers if this is possible and if they are willing to implement it.

pajada Hello, something very weird just happened in one of my tournament games.
I played an event card and the event I triggered was Rebellion. I had an unhappy person (change of age) so i lost two actions and so did one other player. I played my turn and hit end turn. A couple of hours later I have gone back into the game to do some thinking and now it is saying that the action I triggered was Scientific Breakthrough, not Rebellion! The player that lost two action points no longer has lost them (and are yet to take their turn) but I still had to play my turn with less action points. But now I have more science which was not available to me during the turn!
I post this as a bug report rather than to complain about my match, and have reported it to CGE as a bug report.

pajada Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place but I thought to ask here.
I'm playing in Wood 18 and one of us got timed out in Turn 17, his turn then played by the AI.
At round 18 I declare a War Over Culture, I'm the 1st player (76 military) the AI player goes 3rd (19 military)
at the start of the AI turn they did resigned, the War Over Culture got out of the game and I scored 7 culture.
Is this the way it should be?
If there is some info that I have missed I will understand, it will be my mistake,
is only that if I knew (or if the AI player was out of the choices when I declared the war)
I would have taken my war somewhere else... (frustrated face 
)
Any player (human or AI) can resign as their political action. They can't do it if Age IV already started. Everyone who declared War against that player will receive 7 culture (even for War over Territory or Technology), all pacts with this player are cancelled, future civil decks are adjusted and card row starts moving faster.
This is all part of the rules exactly how Vlaada designed it.

pajada Right, indeed the rulebook is clear about it.
The think that got me confused is that the player got timed out,
AI played round 17 and it got Resigned at Round 18.
I got the impression that the AI will continue the game.
Anyway is not a serious turn off the game is still close,
I'll try my best! Thanks for your answer!
