HomerJr you are automatically advancing to Stage 2 of the tournament which will start around second half of February.

pajada I had joined the tournament but I didn’t know how to join the group or game. Guess I am timed out now! Maybe I’ll try again next year! Thanks

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).

monsieurt unfortunately it is not possible time-wise - with a current timeline one stage lasts around 40 days and we need to finish the whole tournament in 2024. Players are really different in their speed. Some are able to finish 3-player game in a week, some needs more than month for it.

Oyvind the best 4th place finish will take the spot. There are also some groups where two players ran out of time so your chances to advance are quite high.

Hi @pajada ,
When checking stats, I just missclicked on Leave the Tournament (was in a seed group for round 2). Please include me back
Thanks!

Will you hold off starting the 2nd round until the game works on Android 14? If not, then there might be a lot of timeouts

Hi @pajada I also unfortunately misclicked on "Leave Tournament" (was Group 1 round 2). Can you include me back? Sorry and thanks!

Namian Error fixed. Huzzah for the devs

Are the games been started autoamtically or do we have to start IT manually withing the group members?

The same question, it's my first tournament. I see my group , how I can join to the group game and play? checked forum and FAQ, didn't find the answer..

Hello! In my games there was a player who timed out who now seems to be back in? If there was a error for the player it would be better to restart the games as thinking we woluld be playing against a bot makes an impact in the decisions we took.
