Pentamind
is the contest of the most universal players.
There is no need to register for it because every participant of the other tournaments enters Pentamind automatically if the following conditions are met.- If you wish to score in Pentamind, you must participate in at least three tournaments that count in Pentamind (see below).
- Some events (beginners', simultaneous games, Pentamind itself...) do not count in Pentamind. For details see the rules of each event.
- Events with less than 8 participants are not counted either.
- At least one of the tournaments counted in your Pentamind score must be big. Event rules tell you whether the event is big. Apart from that, a tournament cannot be big if there are less than 16 participants.
- A player gets counted in his Pentamind score maximally two tournaments in one game. For the purpose of Pentamind, several different but related games are sometimes treated as one game. For instance, all tournaments in Checkers / Draughts / Dama are considered events of one game. Even if a player participates in five such tournaments, only his two best results are included in Pentamind.
- Should a player retire from a tournament before having completed at least half of the games, the result of this tournament will not be included in the player's Pentamind score.
- During the festival you can participate in as many tournaments as you like. Naturally, your chances to win a Pentamind medal are higher with every new tournament you enter. Your five best results will be included in your final Pentamind score.
- The number of Pentamind points a player gets for a particular tournament depends on the rank of the player in the tournament (n) and the number of participants (p). The points are calculated as 100(p - n)/(p - 1).
- The player with the most points is the winner of Pentamind.
The following 34 tournaments will be included (provided they meet the minimum attendance condition) in Pentamind this year. For each of them the name of the game is also given, as well as whether it is counted as a big tournament.
