RULES
& FAQ
Everything competitors and viewers need to know about participation, scoring, event rulings, and watching The Complex Olympics.
SCORING
Each round starts with N − P, where N is the number of players actually listed in that round. Multiply that value by 0.54 and round to the nearest whole point, then add a podium bonus: 3 points for first, 2 for second, and 1 for third.
A player’s score is the sum of their points across every round. A team’s totals are the sum of its competing players’ scores.
TIES
Ties are separated by the tied team or player’s strongest individual round placement, followed by their next-best placement. If a tie remains, event staff may use an announced competitive tiebreaker.
SUBSTITUTIONS
Substitutions require organizer approval and should be reported before the affected game. Completed results remain with the player who earned them; approved substitute results count toward the same team total.
DISCONNECTS
Players should reconnect immediately and notify event staff. A round may be restarted for a server-wide issue or a problem affecting a substantial part of the field. Individual connection issues are reviewed by organizers and do not automatically trigger a restart.
SCHEDULE CHANGES
Start times, game order, and breaks may change for technical or production needs. Times display in each visitor’s local timezone. The schedule page and official Discord announcements are the authoritative sources for changes.

QUICK ANSWERS
How are placement points calculated?
Let N be the number of participating players and P be a player’s placement. The scoring base is N − P, using the number of players actually listed in that round. That number is multiplied by 0.54 and rounded, then the podium bonus is added.
