Friendly tournaments

Friendly tournaments are held in real time mode among teams in which managers are currently present in chat. There is a fee for participation in these tournaments which depends on the Level Rating of the participating team (except the “Between Countries” tournament where the registration fee is the same and doesn’t depend on the team’s Level Rating). Only Administration-appointed Administrators can organize such tournaments. These Administrators are fully responsible for organizing the tournament, paying out bonuses to the winners, and also for resolving all disputes and misunderstandings in regards to the tournament.
There can be three types of friendly tournaments:
1.Tournament with one group
2.Tournament with two groups where the winner in each of the groups play in a playoff final
3.Tournament “Between Countries” where points gained in each group are summarized and the whole group of teams (country) wins. In such tournaments the registration fee doesn’t depend on the Level Rating of the team.

Also, tournaments are divided by the size of the registration fee and accordingly by the size of the bonuses:
1.In “small scale” tournaments registration fee and bonuses are multiplied by 1
2.In “mid scale” tournaments registration fee and bonuses are multiplied by 2
3.In “large scale” tournaments registration fee and bonuses are multiplied by 4

The tournament are created for the teams of certain Level Ratings except the tournament “Between countries” where teams of all Level Ratings can play.

To participate in a friendly tournament newbies have to play at least 50 games.

4.

If the player does not find a replacement player, the player replacing him is not paying a fee.
5. In friendly tournaments between countries an Administrator has the right to not replace departing players and assign a technical loss only in the case that the technical loss wouldn’t change positions in the tournament.
