Rules Team Rulings - 05-SEPT-2013

---

As always, changes contained herein do not go into effect for sanctioned tournaments for 30 days. (So these become active on October 5th, 2013 .)

Continental Championships Changes

• Dropped: The "25%/33%/50% participants qualify" rule no longer applies.
• Added: "A player with at least 1 Game Win at a Continental Championship Qualifier qualifies."
• Added: "The winner of any Continental Championship Qualifier qualifies."
• Added: "For the Australian Championships, a player with at least 0.5 Victory Point per preliminary round played + 0.5 Victory Point qualifies."
• Added: "To reward the judges who put so much time and effort into running these events, the judges for Regional continental qualifiers automatically qualify if they don't play in their event."

The Archon

• The Archon 1.5b has been finialized. It will be available in the Download page.

(Please note we're still running validity checks against the upload module. Till October 5th, please continue to use the Archon available in the Download page.)

The Archon 1.5b should be compatible with OpenOffice and LibreOffice suites.

What about National Championship organizers?
Any changes to reward them?

Will the Asian and South American Continentals still remain open events after this change?

Just to clarify Pascal...

That ruling does mean that:

0.5VP/round + 0.5VP at a Qualifier Tournament results in Qualification for Australian Qualifier Tournaments? or just for the purposes of Qualifying to the AUSNZ Championship?

Will a list of all the players that qualified be automatically fed by the submission of the Archons?
Or will a volunteer have to build the list by hand like me and Jeff on the previous years? I volunteered for 2014.

If so, I propose to be mandatory for each organizer post the link to the result page of his Tournament in the TWD post.

Soon we'll need a Data Warehouse with Business Intelligence reports.
