Following a mishap with the SOS scoring formula at the\u00a0Teamfight Tactics\u00a0<\/em>European Qualifier Finals today, the tournament\u2019s admins have walked back day one eliminations, leaving day two to be played with all 64 starting players.<\/p>
The first of eight regional finals<\/a> began today with the TFT <\/em>European Qualifier Finals<\/a>, featuring 64 players competing for three seats at the Galaxies Championship. A total of five rounds were played today at the TFT<\/em> European Qualifier Finals to determine the 32 players that would advance to day two. The competition was intense\u2014as to be expected\u2014resulting in a number of tie-breakers heading into the later rounds.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cAny ties in points will be broken by SOS Score (total points scored by all opponents in your previous lobbies\/total games played by all opponents in your previous lobbies),\u201d the rules<\/a> state. \u201cThe SOS score will be used for each round\u2019s matchmaking and will also decide the final cut. In the event that two players have the same points and SOS score, the tie will be broken at random.\u201d<\/p>
What may have occurred, according to Elliot \u201cFluffyHS<\/a>\u201d Karlsson, is that \u201cif a competitor played against another competitor multiple times, they only got one point as opposed to points earned for each time played.\u201d And with only 64 players competing in five rounds, competitors had to face off against players more than once\u2014meaning some players possibly benefited from playing unique opponents.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>
Shortly after the meeting, an official announcement<\/a> was released regarding concern over the tie-breaker SOS scoring error by the admin Marco.<\/p>
