Tournament Rules:

• The tournament is a single-player game.
• Every player is assigned red tokens.
• 9 tokens of different colours will be placed at random cells.
• Every player gets a limited time (12 seconds) to play a move.
• Every player gets a fixed number (18) of moves.
• How points are calculated:
• 1 point for each cell moved by the player's token.
• Points increase as per the number of cells climbed up a ladder & upon cutting a token.
• Points will be subtracted equivalent to the number of points a token fell by upon reaching the head of a snake. For example, if a token has reached 65 points & falls to the 5th cell, the player’s score will reduce by 60 points.
• Points for reaching home are multiplied by the current score:
• 1st token reaches home = 2X points
• 2nd token reaches home = 3X points
• 3rd token reaches home = 4X points

Example: A player’s total score is 80 & their first token’s score individually is 60. The player rolls a 5 and the first reaches home.

Their token’s score will be:

60 + 5 = 65

65 x 2 = 130

Their total score will now be 80 + 130 = 210

• A player will get an extra turn/move on rolling a 6, cutting a token, or if a token reaches home.
• If a player misses 3 moves or leaves mid-game, the points they have accrued till then will count towards the scoreboard.
• The player with the highest points wins the biggest share of the prize pool.
• Some tournaments allow multiple entries.
