THE GAME- The game consists of two stages - the rolling stage and the submission stage.
- During the rolling stage, every player has two minutes to roll their dices in a private channel, without other participants knowing what they rolled.
- During the submission stage, every player has five minutes to submit ONE of their previously rolled scores by copy&pasting the entire chatline including timestamp into their private channel.
- All submitted scores are ranked by high to low and to win RP your entry needs to be within highest 1st-7th.
NOTE: This is not a traditional ranking structure. You actually don't want the highest score, or the lowest. 4th highest score wins the most prize points.
- To win the 8th place you need to submit the lowest score.
Round ranking
- 1st: 2 RP
- 2nd: 3 RP & 1% of PP
- 3rd: 1 RP
- 4th: 7 RP & 5% of PP
- 5th: 1 RP
- 6th: 4 RP & 1% of PP

RULES- Only "/roll 5d42" is a valid roll during this tournament.
- The submitted roll must be visible to the host in your channel (within 100 chatlines).
- Hosts cannot scroll through every channel to check if your submitted roll is valid, but we will check occasionally - cheating will result in disqualification and voiding of all previous winnings!
- The timer for rolling/submission stage starts with the hosts announcement in the games-channel and ends after exactly 2/5 minutes (chat timestamps!) - no further "closing" needed.
- In the event of a tie for a round ranking, the winner (better rank regarding RP) will be determined by the earliest timestamp on their roll.
- In the event of a tie for the grand prize, the winner will be determined by who has the higher total of all submitted rolls.
