Beach Cup

Title
The Participants compete on four beaches for a qualifying spot to the pool finals. The best participants will be crowned as pool champions.

Participation
Participation is open to all players. Participants outside Europe should be prepared to play at European times. Registration is open to registered players of WBIF Germany after logging in to MY WBIF - TOURNEY REGISTRATION until 16.05.2021. Unless otherwise described, the RULES of WBIF Germany apply.

Location
Pairings will be played in doubt at Backgammon Studio Heroes, Server 1. Participants without an account at Heroes are requested to register there before registering for the tourney.

Mode for the Beach Cup
There will be 4 tourneys drawn in a single KO system. The tourneys are independent of each other. As a rule, you therefore have different players in each tourney. All matches are played to 7 points with the Heroes clock setting standard (10 seconds per move plus 2 minutes per match point). The winners of each tourney qualify for the Pool finals. Each player can only qualify once for the finals.
(Special cases: 1st case: If a player wins 2 tourneys, he automatically becomes 2nd in one tourney, the losing finalist qualifies. The ranking of the tourneys is in alphabetical order: Amrum, Borkum, Rügen, Sylt. 2nd case: If both finalists are already qualified, they share 2nd place. The losing semi-finalists then play for qualification.)

Mode for the Pool finals
The final with 4 qualified participants will be played in the mode Round Robin. All matches will be played to 9 match points with the Heroes clock setting standard (10 seconds per move plus 2 minutes per match point). In case of equal number of wins, the tiebreaker will be the direct comparison. If this does not resolve all ties, the respective participants will be set against each other again.

Timetable
The tourney will start immediately after the registration deadline. A minimum of 2 weeks of play will be allowed for each round. The duration of the tourney will depend on the number of rounds required.
