"WINGED" CHAMPIONSHIP RULES

COMPOSITION AND EVALUATION OF GAME PARTICIPANTS

Announcing games

Before each round, a list prepared by the computer is published, in which the participants of the championship are ranked by tables. From this list, players can find out the table number at which they will be playing the next game and go find the appropriate table.

All participants play three rounds.

First round:

The players are arranged at the tables in a random order determined by the computer. 3-4 players play at each table.

The starting order is determined by the players with the help of a draw - before the field is prepared, the players draw one card from the bird pile without looking, the player whose drawn bird has the largest wingspan. Already several players share the first place, they repeat this process until there is one winner. This player will be the first. After the draw, the drawn birds are put back into the bird cage.

Second and third round:

Players at the table are ranked by blasting the results of previous games. The first player is determined by random selection.

ATTENTION!

Due to the very tight schedule of the championship, the time for each round is strictly limited to one and a half hours. After an hour has been played, the game will have a turn time limit of 1 minute. If the game lasts for an hour and a half, the table is given another five minutes to finish the game. Once 1 hour and 35 minutes have been played, the game stops, allowing the current turn to be completed. Such a situation is not beneficial for any participant, as overall rating and ranking points are lost.

Important!

It should be remembered that all three rounds of the main tournament are of equal importance.

After three rounds, the four best players will reach the final, where they will compete for the title of "Winged" Latvian champion. The player who wins the final game will become the Champion. In case of equal points, the higher place is taken by the player who was ranked higher.

Player ranking

Players are ranked by three criteria (in order of importance):

• Obtained final position (1st place - 5 points, 2nd place - 3 points, 3rd place - 2 points, 4th place - 1 point.)
• Number of games won.
• Proportionate number of points scored at the table. In a 3-player game, scores are recalculated proportionally as if it were a 4-player game.

WHAT TO NOTE

• Don't drag on! Respect the time of other players too!

• When you finish the game, record the results in the questionnaire and declare the game over! The winner takes the game questionnaire to the organizer's table. Players arrange the components of the game so that it is convenient to start playing a new round.

• Players are responsible for following the rules. If the players made a mistake that was not immediately caught and the players were already doing other things, then this situation is no longer relevant and the game continues. However, players must be honest and follow all the rules! In case of repeated mistakes, the player may be punished with disqualification.

• Physically influencing opponents before, after or during the game is, of course, completely unacceptable and will mean disqualification of the participant.

• If you have come to sympathize or are a participant of the championship who has already finished his game, then it is forbidden to make audible comments and give advice to the players while watching the game of another table. Interference in the game from the outside (even with a seemingly harmless retort) can affect the outcome of the game and is therefore not allowed! Depending on the "degree of harm" involved, a participant who makes such interference may receive from a warning to disqualification (head judge's decision).

• All games are played with the Latvian version of the base game "Winged". Communication during the game takes place in Latvian, but all game participants can also agree on another language.
