The first round is either drawn at random or seeded according to some prior order, such as rating or last year's performance. Players who win receive 3 points, those who draw receive 1 point and players that lose receive no points. Win, lose, or draw, all players proceed to the next round where winners are pitted against winners, losers are pitted against losers, and so on. In subsequent rounds, players face opponents with the same (or almost the same) score. No player is paired up against the same opponent twice however.

Bump for this awesome comp

I've always been curious what it's like to take part in a tournament. Don't know if I should bother entering, as I'm really struggling to get out of bronze league, so I would probably just be wasting everyone's time.

Will definitely try to watch it though.

Only 2.4 K prize money? DoGaming's prizes are a lot better.. sure you're paid in Hardware instead of cash, but the total prize value is a lot higher.

Perhaps if we had decent prizes, the e-sports events will be a lot larger and become something of note. But it seems like if it's not rugby, soccer or cricket, there's no chance of taking your sport up professionally. sigh.

Well considering the fact that Polarfluke is a monthly event, compared to Dogaming's Once a year event.
I would think the prizes are fairly decent, for what they are, and who their from.
