[2023] Polysseum - Vengir November

Polysseum is The Battle of Polytopia competitive tournament series open for everyone to train their skill and fight for the win!

Changes coming this November Map changes
Based on the community feedback, we are returning to the Small Map. Starting with Small Drylands, then moving to Small Lakes the second week and finishing the series with Small Drylands again.

Increased tournament capacity
Since the map is bigger this month and a 32-player tournament on Small Map would take longer than a few hours, we are introducing tournament splitting. It might sound confusing, so bear with me.

• There will be a maximum of 16 players per tournament.
  
• But a maximum of 3 tournaments will be created daily, which means, if there are enough players on a waiting list, Challengermode will create up to 3 tournaments with 16 players in each, accommodating up to 48 players.
  
• The minimum number of players on a waiting list required to create an additional tournament is 10. For example, if we have 16 checked-in players and 8 are on a waiting list, it will not create an additional tournament.
  
• Players will be distributed evenly based on their check-in time. So if 16 players confirm participation and 10 are on a waiting list, it will create 2 tournaments with 13 players in each.
  
• All of this means that if you are on a waiting list, don't go too far from your device, because you might have a tournament to play.

Minor leaderboard scoring changes

• 1st-4th places are keeping the scores as they are.
  
• From now on, 5-16th places will be awarded only a symbolic amount of points, which means auto-wins or no opponent matches won't make a huge difference in the leaderboard.
  
• Scores in November leaderboard: 1st - 250pt, 2nd - 200pt, 3-4th - 175pt, 5-8th - 20pt, 9-16th - 10pt.

Prize pool changes
Since there will be more tournaments hosted per month, we are decreasing the prize pool a bit, from €10 to €7.

• 1st place - €3
  
• 2nd place - €2
  
• 3rd-4th place - €1 each
