Event Description

Game Versions

All heats, the Semi-Final, and the Final will use the Base game only.

All games will use the Light Speed Variant. Be sure you are familiar with this variant before beginning play.

Number of Players

Most games will be played with 4 players, with 5-player games as needed to fill out the tables. Players should seat themselves randomly at the table.

HEATS

There will be three preliminary heats, followed by the semi-final and final.

Elimination Rounds
  1. If more than 35 players have participated, the 16 players with the best record will advance to the semi-final, which will consist of four 4-player games. Winners of each semi-final table will advance to the final game.
  2. If 20-34 players have participated, the 12 players with the best record will advance to the semi-final, which will consist of three 4-player games. Winners of each semi-final table will advance to the final game. The best 2nd place amongst the tables will also advance.
  3. If less than 20 players have participated, the 8 players with the best record will advance to the semi-final, which will consist of two 4-player games. First and second places from each table will advance to the final game.

Tie Breakers

At the end of the game, the player with the most victory points wins. If more than one player is tied for first, play another round.

If players are still tied, the following tiebreakers should be used:

  1. Least Colony cards purchased
  2. Highest income
  3. During a heat, if players are still tied, both players will receive the placement. In the semi-final, both of the tied winners may advance if we can accommodate them, but the final game will not contain more than 5 players. Consult the GM.
  4. In the Final game, players will continue to play rounds until there is a clear winner.
