King of the Hill: Tier Matches

WIP - Lightning Shiver

In this fierce and brutal arena, only the elite will emerge victorious, crowned with the glory of King of the Hill! Are you up for the challenge?

## Schedule

1. Each round consists of two matches. The first, the Group Match, places 9 Alliances of the same tier in a battle zone, divided into groups of three.

2. The next match, the Qualifying Match, is organized based on the results of the Group Match. The three top finishers from the same battle zone form one group, the next three form a second group, and the last three form a third group.

3. After the Qualifying Match is complete, tiers are determined based on performance.

4. A season consists of three rounds of matches, with the tier at the end of the season being the final tier.

5. States that host tiered matches play one match every two weeks, identical to regular matches. See below for details:

* Week 1: Round 1, Group Match.
* Week 3: Round 1, Qualifying Match.
* Week 5: Round 2, Group Match.
* Week 7: Round 2, Qualifying Match.
* Week 9: Round 3, Group Match.
* Week 11: Round 3, Qualifying Match.

6. The stages of both the Group Match and Qualifying Match remain unchanged too:

* Monday & Tuesday: Preview Stage.
* Wednesday & Thursday: Registration Stage.
* Friday & Saturday: Matching Stage.
* Sunday: Battle stage.

*Each match lasts one hour.*

7. Only Legion 1 of the top 20 Alliances in Power, are eligible for tiered matches. If Legion 2 is registered, it competes in regular matches.

8. In states where seasons rotate every 10 weeks, the third round only includes a Group Match, with Rewards and tiers calculated as the upper bracket’s Qualifying Match.

## Rank Rules

1. For the first season of King of the Hill tiered matches, initial tiers are determined based on Alliance Power.

2. Subsequent rounds pair Alliances of the same tier. If there aren’t enough in a particular tier, replacements are randomly selected from the tier one star below and given one star directly.

3. After each round, tier promotion bonuses are granted based on an Alliance’s past performance. The better the track record, the more bonus stars are granted.

4. An Alliance’s tier carries over from season to season.

* Gen 12 and under
* Gen 13+

## Reward Rules

1. After the Qualifying Match of each round, Rewards are distributed according to pre-match tiers and match results. Only those who participated in the Qualifying Match are eligible for these Rewards.

2. At the end of each season, Rewards are determined by the final tier. Seasonal Rewards are granted to the entire Alliance, but members must have participated in at least one match during the season to be eligible.
