| Preliminary Rounds |
Participants play freely at least six games in their Class room during the Preliminary Rounds. （Participants are not allowed to play with the same person twice.） The ranking is determined by points in descending order. The top eight players from each class proceed to the Final Rounds. 1. Points = W / N + W * 0.02 (W = number of wins, N = number of games played.) 2. With tied points, the player with the higher number of wins is ranked higher. 3. With tied points and wins, the player with the higher SOS (sum of opponents' scores) is ranked higher. 4. With tied points, wins and SOS, the players are ranked equal. Click here for details |
