Webmaster bigWham additionally approved two Tribal contests for this tournament, for Advanced and Primitive Tribes each =D>

For Tribe players, this tournament counts twice, individually and for the Tribe contest. There will be two separate Tribe contests, for Advanced Tribes and for Primitive Tribes, each of them will be awarded Tribe medals to all participating players from the winning Tribe. Reference time for particular Tribe membership is at the beginning of the tournament, when TO will make public list of participating players per each Tribe (List of Tribe players can be found in this link: viewtopic.php?f=90&t=233122#p5148245)

Tribe scoring rules:
Playing in Play-in Round of the tournament: 0 points
Playing in Round 1 of the tournament: +1 point per every playing player.
Advancing to every next round: +1 point per every player that advances.
Maximum points that a player can earn is 9 because there are 9 rounds.
At the end, all collected points per all Tribe members are divided by total number of players which participated from that Tribe, with minimum of 7 players. Tribes who have less than 7 players in the tournament are also eligible to participate but their total points get divided by 7.

It will start in another 1-2 weeks, likely after the CC Olympics because the CC Olympics are now main CC event.

I believe the tribe scoring should either only include the players who make it through the play-ins or give one point to every player who participated (or none, same thing). It feels a bit unfair that lower ranked players who get eliminated after one round of play-ins would adversely affect their tribe score more than higher ranked players who didn't get through the play-ins but who also were eliminated on their first round. Especially since lower ranked-players are already disfavored by the seeding which matchs them against higher ranked opponents.

I agree. I changed the Tribe scoring rules in the OP slightly, per your suggestion:
Tribe scoring rules:
At the start of the tournament every player starts with 0 points and advancing to every next round gains him/her +1 point. Maximum points that a player can earn is 9 because there are 9 main rounds, but for some players theoretical maximum is 10 because they will start from play-in round. However, these players who start from the play-in round will have harder draw than other players from round 1 onwards because the draw is seeded.
At the end, all collected points per all Tribe members are divided by total number of players which participated from that Tribe, with minimum of 7 players. Tribes who have less than 7 players in the tournament are also eligible to participate but their total points get divided by 7.[/b]
