SAGA WORLD CUP 2023 - Information and Rules

Description:

After 4 years, the second SAGA World Cup will take place in November 2023 in the beautiful city of Münster (Germany).

It is a team tournament where one team of 4 players per nation will compete against another team in 5 rounds each.

We have room for a total of 16 teams (64 players).

The ticket is valid for the entire team of 4 players and includes entry to the tournament on both days.

Until 30 June 2023, there will only be one entry per nation, as we want to have as international a field of participants as possible. After 30 June, we will release the remaining starting places for additional teams from one nation (maximum 3 in total).

Important: Please indicate which nation the ticket is for in the “comments” field when you check out. We reserve the right to withdraw tickets in individual cases.

A team must consist of 4 players from one nation. The only exception is if a team cannot find a fourth player. In this case, a maximum of 1 mercenary of another nationality may be added to the team.

Should one or more players for a team drop out at short notice, we will provide a number of substitutes so that the team can play.

Discord: For further communication we will also provide a SAGA World Cup 2023 Discord Channel. [url=][/url]https://discord.gg/qTky3pbc[url=][/url].

Each team has a fixed pool of terrain (composition will be published in advance) with which they must make do for all 4 pairings.

Starting player/bidding: The starting player is determined as follows. Each player chooses a number between 0-6, face down. The player with the higher number determines the start player and his opponent receives victory points equal to this number, which are included in the calculation of the winner at the end of the game. In the event of a draw, the winner is chosen by dice and his opponent still receives the victory points.
