All-Time ELO rating will be fixed on November 20, 20:00 UTC.

Players for Qualification 4 will be manually selected on November 21-22.

Starting from the top of the All-Time ranking list, players will be offered a chance to participate in Q4 of CCL 2025 in turn. If a player accepts, they are added to the list. This process continues until 8 players are selected.

Player selection criteria:

• Players who play the base version of Carcassonne (duels without expansions).

• Players who have not yet registered for the Group Stage, Q1, Q2, or Q3.

• This is the player’s primary account, the one they use in local championships and possibly for the national team. This can be verified through the captain of the team’s association.

• No more than one player from the same association.

If a player agrees to participate in Q4, they will no longer be eligible to be registered by their association for the Main Stage of CCL 2025 (in case the local championship/selection in their association is still ongoing).
