TOURNAMENT ZERO RULEBOOK:
The Tournament is divided into Four Skirmish Rounds, each functioning as a separate mini-tournament. Players can sign up to participate in any Skirmish, aiming to become a Skirmish Winner by defeating other contestants in games set in Aggro Combat format.
After all four Skirmish Rounds, the tournament culminates in an Endgame Round, where all Skirmish Winners face off to determine the ultimate Tournament Zero Champion.
Tournament Zero will be hosted on Tabletopia. It can be accessed via the contestants’ preferred web browser.
