ROUND 1
In round one all 32 players will play 3 games each with the others in their group and each win will earn a player 1 point.
If there are ties in scoring (and also in order to designate group winners and group runner ups) then tie breakers will be decided based on the following rule: the player who won his/her winning games (in his group) in the least number of rounds will be the winner of a tie.
Example: Let's say Players 1 and 2 both have 2 points each (2 wins and 1 loss)
Player one won his two games in the following way: game 1 LOSS (does not count towards total rounds), game 2 won in round 8, game 3 won in round 3 - (total rounds taken to win game= 8+3=11)
Player two won his games in the following way: game 1 won in round 5, game 2 won in round 5, game 3 LOSS (does not count towards total rounds) - (total rounds taken to win game= 5+5= 10)
In the above example player two will be the winner of the group as he/she has the lower number of total rounds taken to win game, and player one will be the group runner-up
Addendum - June 29th: In case that both the total number of wins and rounds taken to win games are tied then for the purposes of a tie breaker and to assess group standings then the total number of troops in the won games for each player will be added and the player with more total troops in his/her won games will win the tie breaker.
The match ups for round 1 will be identical to the official matchups of the World Cup - there will be a total 48 games before group winners and runner-ups are decided:
