Crazy Christmas, Ruprecht

Title
According to legend, Santa's assistant Knecht Ruprecht punishes the bad children during the Christmas season. In his honour, we therefore try to lose our games in this tournament.

Participation
Participation is open to all. Participants outside Europe should be able to play at European times. Registration is possible for registered players of WBIF Germany after login in the area MY WBIF - SIGN IN FOR TOURNEY until 13.11.2022. Unless otherwise described, the RULES of WBIF Germany apply.

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

Mode
All games are played to 1 point in the Triple-KO tournament. Deviating from the rules, the player who sportingly loses the match wins! Non-sporting defeats due to rule violations (non-appearance, ...) or premature abandonment lead to elimination from the tournament!

The time limit is 3 minutes plus 15 seconds per move. If a player loses due to timeout, the other player wins the Ruprecht match and gets the victory. If necessary, send me a screenshot of the final score with the clock running out. I will then correct the result at the WBIF-website.

Schedule
The tourney will start immediatly after registration deadline. Rounds 1 to 3, which are played at the same time, will have 3 weeks of playing time, and subsequent rounds will have 2 week of playing time.

Questions
Please send questions about the tourney by email to Peter, tourney management WBIF Germany.
