RULES
& FAQ
Everything competitors and viewers need to know about participation, scoring, event rulings, and watching The Complex Olympics.
SCORING
Each round awards points by placement. The total number of participating players is the maximum score: with 20 players, first receives 20 points, second receives 19, and twentieth receives 1.
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. News posts and official Discord announcements are the authoritative sources for changes.
WHERE TO WATCH
The official broadcast link will appear on the event homepage when available. Live standings and results will update throughout August 29–30, 2026.
