Hello everyone,
Stage 1 has been started - everyone (except 208 players in Qualified group) should be playing two 4-player games. These games have been started automatically.
In two weeks you can expect three 3-player games automatically started and another two week after that three 2-player games.
Good luck and have fun!

CardinalBadger tell your friends to write me an e-mail to pajada@gmail.com and in case some players will not show in the tournament (they will be replaced by AI bot in 2 days) I will replace them by your friends.

I’m in the middle of two games. But looks like it’s frozen. Just says “connecting” but never connects. Tried reinstalling to no avail. It says it’s my turn. Servers down?

Crowther I got the same issue, game have been stuck on Connecting all weekend. Now when I'm able to connect my time has run out (group 161 game 11). Is there any way to recover from this? @pajada

Hi! I only have one 3P game whereas most people seem to have three. Anyone know why that might be? I’m in group 204

pajada Hi! I only had one 3P game added. Any idea why that might be? Thanks!

lukejones82 Most likely this:

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.

Aruta ah I see thanks! Do you happen to know if that will impact our points/standings?

Are the servers done for everyone? The whole day I couldn't connect. But in the meanwhile I see new games were created.

it works for me, and worked yesterday too.

But I see more inaccessibility comments, and know that my phone downloaded an update a few days ago - maybe check fir update just to be sure?

@Bull3

...or it's the other way around - I downloaded next update right now and can't connect.

@mpajada, something seems to be wrong eith Android update, fix is needed!

Zero_1627 Thanks! I am playing on my macbook from Steam. Everything is up to date.

Zero_1627 I got an update on Steam yesterday, but it didn't work before that either.

Can't connect to servers at the moment. Anyone else have the same issue?

there is in-game info about problem, and everyone got 24h extra time.

I can play fine from PC, but not Android - cannot say about Mac or iDevice.

How is "best 2nd" calculated? The "stage standings" section seems to only apply to determining the ranking within a group, but not for determining who is the better 2nd across groups.

Zero_1627 Thanks for the info. Do you have more details? I saw a notification in game in the 'news' section, but even that doesn't load

Bull3
there are no more details - information that there is a problem, that extra time was given, problem is being worked upon, and apologies.

actually there is detailed algorithm described in tournament header.

Your tiebreaker score is calculated as average percentage of winning scores You achieved.
So 2nd player who scored, on average, 90% points will be graded higher than 2nd player who scored 80% points.

Look in tournament description - I think it's good, has examples and describes additional details if You are interested (in description above I skipped small print for clarity, but if You want to actually calculate Your score - or other player's - You will need it).

Still cannot connect to the server from the app. Are we going to get extra time?
