Fill the pot

Kept in the league wallet for this tournament alone. · open to everyone until the tournament ends

Tied places share their percentages. When the tournament has ended and an admin has checked it, each share goes to the player’s own Lightning address from their Nostr profile. No address yet? The share waits until they add one.

Fill the pot

Zaps add on top, on the sponsors’ wall. Without Nostr: part of the pot, no wall.

Premiere! Das ist das erste Blockli-Turnier auf TWENTY ONE esports und damit deine Chance, dich als erster Blockli-Champion in die Geschichte einzutragen. Oder besser gesagt: in die Blockli-Chain. 😉 Blockli ist digitales Quoridor. Bring deine Figur als Erster auf die gegenüberliegende Seite und stell deinem Gegner Mauern (Blöcke) in den Weg. Du darfst ihm den Weg so lang machen, wie du willst, aber nie ganz versperren. Die Regeln sind in zwei Minuten gelernt, Neulinge sind ausdrücklich willkommen: https://esports.einundzwanzig.space/rules#blockli

Questions

How does Two Stage work?

First small groups where everyone plays everyone, then the best of each group play a knockout bracket to the final. Good for: 8 or more players or teams who want both: several games each and a real final.

What if someone does not show up?

Games run here with a clock, like every game on the site.

How are seeds set?

By Elo at sign-up close, equal Elo by earlier sign-up.

How is the prize pool paid out?

When the tournament has ended, an admin checks it and closes the pool. The pool is split by place as shown; tied places share their percentages and a team’s share is split equally among its roster. Each player’s share goes to the Lightning address in their Nostr profile, and the league publishes every payment on Nostr with its proof.

For the nerds: the proof on Nostr

The league signs the tournament as a calendar event and, when it has a solo pool, the draw. Anyone can re-check them with these ids.
