<\/span>3. Tournament formula<\/b><\/div>
\n<\/span>3.1. Tournament formula: qualification and main part.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.1.1. Qualification: Playoffs (excluding a final or third-place match) with the number of stages depending on the number of candidates. All stages are played in best-of-three series (the parties colors change after each game in the series). If a game in a series is tied, that game is replayed until the first win, according to the settings specified in paragraph 3.3.1.2 (the parties colors remain the same as in the tied game). Regardless of the number of replays, a win in one of them counts as a win in the series.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.1.2. Main part: Round-robin tournament. Two rounds: the first is full (all participants), the second is partial (players who finished in the top four places in the first round). Points scored in the first and second rounds, if a player participated in both, are added together. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and 0 points for a loss. To determine placement in the event of a tie, the results of head-to-head matches are first taken into account, then the number of wins. In the event of a tie based on additional criteria, rematches are held according to the settings specified in paragraph 3.3.2.2.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.1.3. The player who scores the most points at the end of the tournament becomes the winner and receives priority rights to participate in the 2025 Championship Match.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.2. Rules of the game: <\/span>SSDC<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.4.1. Upon completion of registration, the four candidates with the highest scores will be selected from all submitted applications, namely (in descending order of importance): sports title, SSDC rating in the \"classic dots\" category (without distinction between the rating list and archive). In the event of a tie, preference will be given to the first submitted application (candidates without an SSDC rating are ranked similarly). These four candidates advance directly to the main part, while the remaining candidates proceed to the qualification.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.4.2. Candidates who have reached the qualifying stage are ranked similarly, after which the eight with the highest scores are selected (the remaining applications are eliminated). A numbered list is then compiled, with the participant with the highest scores assigned number one.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.4.2.1. If the number of selection participants is not a power of two, then it is supplemented to the nearest ascending number that is such a power by empty positions (the resulting number determines the initial stage of qualification).<\/span><\/p>\n

3.4.2.2. In a numbered list, empty positions are placed after all candidates.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.4.3. Pairings of players at all stages of the qualification are determined identically: the first player on the numbered list plays the last player, the second player plays the second-to-last player, and so on. If a player is assigned to an empty position, they advance to the next stage without a draw. After each stage, eliminated players are removed from the numbered list; the relative positions of the remaining players remain unchanged and are used for the draw for the next stage.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3.4.4. Two finalists from the qualification will advance to the main part.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.5. If seven or fewer applications are submitted during registration, no qualification round will be held. In this case, the six candidates with the highest seedings will advance directly to the main part.<\/span><\/p>\n

3.5.1. If the number of applications for participation in the tournament is less than four, the tournament will be cancelled, and the current absolute champion in sports dots will retain his title without a match.

4.5.1.4. If the replay stipulated by paragraph 4.5.1 of these Regulations cannot be held in Application, the arbitrator has the right to transfer it to Application 2. The date, time, nicknames, and procedure will be determined individually, taking into account the players' opinions.

4.5.2.2. If both players fail to notify the referee in advance of their absence, a replay is only possible with their explicit, mutual consent. The date and time of the replay are determined in a similar manner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

4.6. In the event of a disconnection, the game time reserve of a player who has left the App continues to be used up. Once the reserve is exhausted, such a player is automatically assigned a loss. The opponent may pause the game and wait as long as they deem necessary, but not longer than the start of the next tour (stage).<\/span><\/p>\n

4.7. Including a pause during a game is not prohibited, but requires mutual consent from both players. The number of such pauses, as well as their duration, are determined independently by the players, but within the planned timeframe of the tour (stage). However, all responsibility for any consequences rests with them.
