💯 Scoring System
- 👉 Draw streaks: If a player has consecutive draws in an arena, only the first draw will result in a point; or draws lasting more than 30 moves. The draw streak can only be broken by a win, not by a loss or a draw.
👉 Participants will be continuously paired with best match opponents game-after-game for 1 hour, each game's maximum time limit is 3 minutes.
👉 A win has a base score of 2 points, a draw 1 point, and a loss is worth no points.
👉 If you win two games consecutively you will start a double point streak, represented by a flame icon🔥.
👉 Drawing the game within the first 10 moves will earn neither player any points.
👉 The following games will continue to be worth double points until you fail to win a game. That is, a win will be worth 4 points, a draw 2 points and a loss will still not award any points. Ex: two wins followed by a draw will be worth 6 points: 2 + 2 + (2 × 1)
👉 The player(s) with the most points at the end of 1 hour will be the winner. In the case of a tie, the tournament performance is the tiebreak.
👉 Beresker is allowed
