Tournament Points, Victory Point Differential, Total Victory Points

At the end of each Encounter, players tally up the VP that they earned that round. The player that earned more VP than his or her opponent wins the game (and the opponent loses the game).
In case of the same VP count, the game is a Draw.

Tournament Points [TP]:
* A Win awards 3 TP to the winner
* A Draw awards 1 TP to each player
* A Loss awards 0 TP to the defeated player

Victory Point Differential [DIFF]:
Note the difference between the players VP at the end of the Encounter. The player with the higher score scores DIFF equal to the positive amount of that difference, while the player that had the lower score receives DIFF equal to the negative amount of that difference.

Victory Points [VP]: This is the amount of points each player earned.

Pairings and Scoring Format

The first round pairings are random. After the first round, the TO pairs up players based on their TP scores. Players will always play other players with similar TP scores. After round one, players with higher TP should be paired off against one another, while players with lower TP should be paired off against one another. This continues for the established number of rounds.


Determining a Winner (TP/DIFF/VP)

At the end of the tournament, all of the players will be ranked in descending order from highest TP to lowest TP. The player with the highest TP is the winner. In case of any ties in the TP, the DIFF becomes the first tie-breaker. The player with the higher DIFF wins the tie. If this is also tied, VP is the final tie-breaker, wherein the player with the higher VP wins the tie.
