EVENT GUIDELINES
JBR's Diplomatic Weekend
EVENT OVERVIEW
JBR’s Diplomatic Weekend is a weekend long event on the 26th-27th September 2020. The event will consist of 4 Diplomacy qualifiers on the Saturday followed by a final on the Sunday. Players will sign up to one of the qualifiers. From each qualifier, the winner will receive an automatic invitation to the final. The other places in the final will be filled by the players that have done the most snipes of TCs or Kings. If any of these players are not available, there will be a poll on stream to choose players that have provided excitement through the qualifiers to invite to the final.
​
There are 32 places available for the qualifiers and these will be filled on a first come, first served basis. Sign ups are free. Sign ups close on Friday 25th September at 23:59 GMT.
PRIZEPOOL
There will be an initial prizepool of $120 for the event.
​
The winner of each qualifier will receive $10. On top of this, the player that performs the most snipes will also receive $10. This can be the same player.
​
In the final, the winner will receive $30 and the most snipes prize will be $10.
Additionally, half of all subscriptions, donations and bits received between 20th September and the end of the event will be added to the prizepool in the same ratio as originally laid out.
GENERAL RULES
