Format

Players have two hours to beat as many bots as they can on our Play Computer page. Players get points based on the number of different bots they have beaten at the end of the event and via extra challenges (beating the engine does NOT count as beating a bot). The extra challenges are presented in the form of a bingo card. If players manage to get bingos (full horizontal, vertical, or diagonal lines), they earn 5 bonus points per bingo. All games must be played in challenge mode.

Bingo Card

Challenges And Proof

Each completed challenge awards a different amount of points depending on its difficulty on a scale of one to three:

• Easy challenges (green background in the bingo grid) give one point.
• Normal challenges (yellow background in the bingo grid) give two points.
• Hard challenges (red background in the bingo grid) give three points.

Proof of completion must be sent for each successful challenge, with any proof working as long as it's clear. Examples of clear proof include:

• Screenshots.
• Clips.
• VODs with timestamps.

The challenges and the bingo grid will be sent to the participants via email and Discord an hour before the event starts and will also be listed in this article.
