Tournament Rules
- We will play the 3-4 player game of Catan (formerly known as Settlers of Catan). No expansions will be used.
- For the most part, games will be conducted according to the official Catan rules as linked here. A few house rules will be used (e.g., re-roll 7s for the first two turns) and these will be reviewed with all players prior to the tournament.
- The tournament will consist of four rounds. Everyone will participate in all four rounds (i.e., no one is eliminated early).
- For the first three rounds, players will be assigned a table and compete against different opponents each round. Games in the first three rounds will be limited to 60 minutes.
- After the first three rounds, players will be ranked based on their results. For the final game, players will be assigned tables according to their ranking. The top four players will play on Table 1 in the A-final, players ranked 5-8 will play on Table 2 in the B-final, players ranked 9-12 will play on Table 3 in the C-final etc.. There is no time limit for the final round games.
- Tournament prizes will be awarded after the final round, culminating in the ALL HAIL LORD OF CATAN ceremony for the winner of the A-final.
