Each player should play one match per week.

Both players agree the date and time of the match within the week.

If no date has been agreed upon by Friday 23:59 UTC then both players need to contact admins (carcassonne.gg@gmail.com) and provide details of the efforts made to organise the match

The final position in the group will be determined in the following order:

1. Number of Matches won

2. The difference between won and lost Games

3. Number of Games won

4. Points 1-3, but only in confrontations between players who have equality

5. The difference in points scored in confrontations between players who have equality

6. Random draw

Players are expected to play their own games without advice or coaching from others, and the use of tile-counting or memory aids (e.g. apps, spreadsheets, or pen and paper) is strictly forbidden. Players are also responsible for avoiding potential unrequested aid

In case of a tie within one game, the player who started second wins

If a player runs out of time, they automatically lose the current game, but not the entire match
