Rules

Tournament Structure:

• Players choose from a set list of maps (1 and 0 peace time maps can not be choosen before semifinals) each with assigned rules, the position is chosen by the person who did not choose the map.
• Each player plays two games against every other player—one on their chosen map and one on their opponents. ( double round-robin format)
• Each map can only be selected once during the entire match of 2 players (their 4 games)
• If a game exceeds 60 days after the peace period, it is considered a draw. The game ends when a lord dies.
• Players accumulate points, and the top 4 advance to the semifinals and finals.
• Semifinals and finals follow the same rules but have a separate scoring table. Players compete in 4 games instead of 2. Player with the highest score in points wins the tournament. If players participated in games in the previous stage, those games are already included in this stage.
