Format<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Hearthstone Battlegrounds (Solos)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 8 players per lobby<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Group stage\/qualifiers are played Friday\u2013Saturday<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The final is played on Sunday<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Players will play multiple lobbies during the event and collect points based on placement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Each lobby takes about 30 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tournament Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    The format adapts to the number of participants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    With larger participant numbers (32 players)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    The tournament can be played in a classic knockout format with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Quarter-final<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Semifinal<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Finale<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      With a smaller number of participants<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      Instead, a points-based format is used where:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • All participants play multiple lobbies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Lobby groups are rotated between rounds<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Players will face various opponents during the event<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The top-ranked players will go through to the final<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        For an odd number, lobbies can be played with a non-full number of players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Lobby management<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Before each lobby, one player is appointed as \u201ccaptain\u201d and is responsible for inviting the other participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        The players share BattleTags with each other and find their opponents via Discord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        It is optional to join the voice channel during gameplay, but the format encourages social interaction between participants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Scoring system<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Points are awarded based on final placings in each lobby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Location<\/strong><\/td>Points<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
        1st<\/td>10<\/td><\/tr>
        2nd<\/td>8<\/td><\/tr>
        3rd<\/td>6<\/td><\/tr>
        4th<\/td>5<\/td><\/tr>
        5th<\/td>4<\/td><\/tr>
        6th<\/td>3<\/td><\/tr>
        7th<\/td>2<\/td><\/tr>
        8th<\/td>1<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        If multiple players are eliminated at the same time, the points are divided between the placings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Example:
        If two players are eliminated simultaneously in 4th and 5th place, both receive 4.5 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In the event of equal total points, the ranking is decided first by the most top placings (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.), and thereafter by head-to-head results in matches where players have played against each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Rules and fair play<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The tournament is intended as an amateur tournament with prize money and a focus on a fun and social competitive experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Tools such as the Hearthstone Deck Tracker and Firestone are permitted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Ghosting and coaching during matches are not permitted, even though the format is fundamentally based on fair play and a sense of community rather than strict administration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        If players disconnect, they may reconnect if possible, but if turns are missed or reconnection is not possible, players will not be compensated retrospectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Prize pool<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
          \n
        • 5000 SEK<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
