Tournaments

An admin will start the tournament after 32 players register.

Tap the 'Join Tournament' button on this page. You need to be signed in to join. The tournament needs a power-of-2 number of players (32, 64, etc.) to form the bracket. If the bracket is already full, you'll be added to a waiting list until enough players join to expand it.

Tournaments require push notifications so you know when it's your turn. Since each player has only 24 hours to move, missing a notification could mean getting eliminated. The app ensures you receive timely alerts for your matches.

You'll receive a push notification when your match is ready. Make sure notifications are enabled. You can also check the tournament page or your active games list.

Tournaments need a number of players that fits the bracket (32, 64, etc.). If all spots are taken, you'll join a waiting list. This works both before and during an active tournament. When enough new players sign up to fill the next bracket size (e.g. 32 to 64), everyone on the waitlist joins the tournament and new first round matches are created. You can check your position on the tournament page.

Yes. You can leave anytime before the tournament starts. If the tournament is already active and you're on the waitlist, you can still leave the waitlist. However, once you're a confirmed participant with matches in progress, you cannot leave.

Each player has 24 hours to make their move. If a player doesn't move within 24 hours, they will be automatically resigned from the match. This keeps tournaments progressing while allowing flexible scheduling.

Tournaments use single elimination. If you lose, you're out. The winner advances to the next round until a champion is decided in the final.

Tournaments use the default game rules. 3 tiles in hand. Base game tileset of 72 tiles. No expansions.

The player who went second advances. Since the second player places one fewer tile due to turn order, they win tied games. This keeps things fair and tournaments moving.
