Final Standings Variants

BASELINE – Rankings are determined by tournament points, then

Assassin Scoring – Rankings are determined by tournament

points, then number of assassination victories, then control
points, and finally by strength of schedule.

Control Point Scoring – Rankings are determined by tournament

points, then control points, then army points destroyed, and
finally by strength of schedule.

Destruction Scoring – Rankings are determined by total number

of enemy army points destroyed or removed from play, then on
control points, then on strength of schedule.

Finals Tables – When creating match-ups for the final round of

the event, the EO pairs the current top four players on two “finals
tables.” The first finals table matches the current first-ranked
player against the current second-ranked player. The second
finals table matches the current third-ranked player against the
current fourth-ranked player. The winner of the first finals table
wins the event, and the other player wins second place. The
winner of the second finals table wins third place. Standings
beyond third place are calculated using strength of schedule,
followed by control points in the case of a tie.
