Number of Players
All games will be 4 player games when possible, with 3 player games used as needed. The semi-finals (if needed) will be 4 boards of 4 player games, with a 4 player final.

Tournament Rules
We will be using only the E deck and there will be a "draft" of Occupation cards and Minor Improvement cards. The Occupation cards will be first. You cannot look at the Minor Improvements until the Occupation cards are drafted.

The card-drafting mechanism will work as follows. Deal all players 7 Occupations. Every player will keep 1 Occupation card and pass 6 cards to the player on your left. Then keep 1 card and pass 5 cards and so on, until everyone has 7 cards again. Then repeat the process with the Minor Improvements Card.

Tie Breakers
In the event of a tie for a position in an individual game, the following tiebr eakers shall be applied (in order, until the tie is broken):
1) most points from improvements
2) most bonus points from cards
3) most unused resources
4) most animals at the end of the game
5) die roll
Time Limit
Rounds will be scheduled for 3 hours, including the draft. Time limits will be strictly enforced. Warnings will be given at 2 1/2 hours and 2 3/4 hours.
