GaF Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Re: RedKings Eurokings 2008 Rules: Team Competition: There are 16 teams, representing Group 1: Czech Republic, Portugal, Turkey and Switzerland Group 2: Poland, Austria, Germany and Croatia Group 3: France, The Netherlands, Italy and Romania Group 4: Russia, Spain, Greece and Sweden. EuroKings 2008 consists of 3 group stage tournaments; quarterfinals; semifinals and a final. In the goup stage tournaments the teams that gather the most points in each of the groups will get 3 points to the group table, the teams that gather the second most points will get 2 points. The teams that gather the third most of points will get 1 point and the teams who finish 4th wont get any points. After the group stage tournaments, the points are calculated and the top 2 teams of each group will go into the quarterfinals where they play head to head against another qualified team. Points for players that determine the group stage points: In every tournament, top- 100 players get points in reverse order + bonus points for the top 5 players. Example: 1. Player A 100 points + 5 bonus points = 105 points 2. Player B 99 points + 4 bonus points = 103 points 3. Player C 98 points + 3 bonus points = 101 points 4. Player D 97 points + 2 bonus points = 99 points 5. Player E 96 points + 1 bonus point = 97 points .. ... 99. Player XY 2 points = 2 points 100. Player XX 1 point = 1 point In the quarterfinals, semifinals and the final, only the top 10 players will gather points to their team. The one who gathers the most points will advance to the next stage. Individual Competition: Every player represents their respective teams, but also themselves. The individual competition consists of ALL 6 TOURNAMENTS, so even if your team does not qualify after the group stages, you are still fighting in the individual competition for the TOP POINTS SCORER. The points are given the same way as in the team competition with the exception that the best player for each team in the group stage tournaments will get an additional 5 points for the individual competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveO Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Re: RedKings Eurokings 2008 Looks a decent value league that and the point system definitely favours Tag players. Many thanks to our EuroLeague friend Ncardeira. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PGremlin Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Re: RedKings Eurokings 2008 Oops, I was to fast. I already selected the Netherlands since I am Dutch.

GaF Posted May 28, 2008 Author Share Posted May 28, 2008 Re: RedKings Eurokings 2008 Sorry Gremlin - am going to be decisive and stick with Switzerland - I think it will be a less well represented team than Holland and give us more of a PL exclusive team.....

PGremlin Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Re: RedKings Eurokings 2008 Got a reply from support :( Thank you for your e-mail. Once you have chosen a Team you are not able to change it. This is explained in the Terms and Conditions for the EuroKings League. I am sorry but you will have to go with Netherlands. Hmmm... don't like the thought of competing against PL :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samba_SamPa Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Re: RedKings Eurokings 2008 Registered as the Swiss also. One question Gaf, I didnt read the rules until after I registered, lol, but it stipulates only top 10 scores count for the last 3 tourneys, but it doesn't say anything regarding that for the first 3. Could be a worry if all scores are counted in the first 3 if there's '00s of people registered as the bigger countries, and only 50 PLers and a dozen Swiss registered as Switzerland? Too late now, hehe, just thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
