pajada created the tournament on 2023-12-27
World Championship 2024
Record-breaking 1120 players signed for World Championship 2024
. To allow all players to compete me and CGE decided to add extra stage - 384 players which weren't in top 1000 of Glicko or their experience level in the app was not good enough will compete in 96 groups of 4 players where top 3 players advance and the 4th player is eliminated. Other 736 players are advancing without playing in the stage 1.
To speed up the tournament to able to finish it in 2024 we also shortened the delay when 3-player games (7 days) and 2-player games (14 days) are started. My expectation is that each stage should now take 35-40 days to finish.
Good luck, have fun and lead the best civilizations!
Sorry, I am new to this. How do I join the tournament? Its it too late?
Hi, I am regretfully starting to realise I don't have the time for so many games. What would be the best way for me to withdraw from the tournament?
Did this start? I am not sure how to join the game if it did. Can someone help?
We decided to not protect players who ran out of time and instead improve the quality of the tournaments for the others. New rule about time outs has been added:
Time outs:
If a player has ran out of time in all games from a previous batch then all games from the future batches where he or she should play will be deleted.
This rule try to improve a quality of the tournament for other players to keep the number of games where AI is involved on a minimum.
I got 2 notifications now that the tourney has started, but I still don’t see any games in my game list. Am I missing something?
Hey pajada,
One of my games is bugged (Group 91, Game 8). We're bidding on colonies and the game status just says "Check the game". The player whose turn it is had entered a bid, however the other player (Cromlech) and myself are unable to enter our bids. I get the spinning globe then the arrows disappear but the hourglass remains and if I minimise the colony window it tells me I still need to make a bid. I've tried restarting the game and playing on different computers but since this is happening to Cromlech too I'm sure the issue isn't on my end. I've sent a support request through so hopefully they can resolve it, but what will we do if it won't allow us to continue?
All sorted! CGE responded very quickly!
Snucka I think as many others you got automatically qualified for stage 2.
Can I drop out of the tournament? I really don’t want to continue and I don’t want the next round group I would be in to be impacted.
I need to check the glicko rating - where would I find the rating. Most importantly which games does the rating include?
sjgardner3 yes, you can - this message in chat is sufficient.
Gr33ny Glicko rating - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10mrIwZNchMz7FMYgddUnniqm82VCYFJJPZJqEDP75F0/edit#gid=181615551
information about tournaments counted is in that document too
Would it be possible to have fewer simultaneous games in the future stages of the tournament? Having 5 tournament games going at the same time with the same opponents was very confusing.
Perhaps it could be limited to 3 simulatenous games, one 4p, one 3p, and one 2p? That would be more manageable, and 4p, 3p, and 2p games are paced differently enough that it would be easier to keep them distinct in players' minds (or at least mine, haha).

Hi, what happens to sjgardner3’s spot in the next round? I’m guessing someone will take their spot, as they finished in 3rd place in their group. Will the spot go to the 4th place player in that group regardless of number of points, will the best 4th place finisher get it, or are there other rules? I’m currently tied for the best 4th place finish (group 36) with 12 points, so I’m still holding out hope that I may qualify for the second round. If you go by points gathered, how do you separate between me and the other guy who had 12 points (group 75). I tied the 3rd place finisher in my group, and got 4th place because of a tie-breaker. The other 4th place finisher with 12 points were three points out of 3rd place in their group. I also won two games to that person’s one. Of course some 4th place finisher in the few groups that haven’t finished playing yet may score more than our 12 points.
