Tournament

Tournament

General[]

Every month, the top 100 Fleets compete in a Tournament. Each week is its own phase, totaling 4 phases. The final phase being where things get serious. What you win Fleet wise hinges on the number of Stars you collect. Defeat your division enemies and rack up as many Stars as you can. The top 50 players also win prizes based on the amount of Trophies they have.

Tournament Phases[]

Each week during a Tournament is its own phase, totaling 4 phases each month. Phase 1 and 2 are break periods while 3 and 4 are the battle phases, determining placement and reward. Actually only phase 4 is important, as the other phases are merely labels without any impact on the gameplay.

Week 1 – Pre-Season[]

This is a break period. Have a biscuit and chill, nothing is happening right now.

Week 2 – Drafting[]

Organize your Fleets and get some last-minute preparations down and about. Enjoy a coffee or some tea while you're at it.

Week 3 – Qualifying[]

Time to get to work; the Tournament has begun! By the end of week 3, the top 100 Fleets will be placed into 4 divisions based on the amount of Trophies they have. Inactive members (>2w offline) do not contribute their Trophies (slackers!).

Division A (Top 1-8 Fleets)
Division B (Top 9-20 Fleets)
Division C (Top 21-50 Fleets)
Division D (Top 51-100 Fleets)

Week 4 – Finals[]

Finish that biscuit and get ready! Finals is what it has all been leading up to. What's the target? Well, that would be the other Fleets in your Division. Defeat their members and earn as many Stars as possible. Losses won't cost you Stars and won't give your enemy stars, either.

If you leave your Fleet during finals (Rude!), the Stars gained for that Fleet will stay with them and will not carry over to another Fleet. Any Stars gained after that is fair game though. If you join a Fleet during finals, you won't be able to battle for stars for 2 days (technically until the 2nd next Daily Reset). Leaving/joining during Finals will also net you a severe prize reduction and the inability to claim the 1st place Division A prize.

Finals Matchmaking[]

Tournament battles are separate from the usual PvP Battles. During the Finals, there will be a button at the bottom of the Galaxy Map screen named Tournament Battle with 6 little stars next to them. If you are member of a fleet that is competing the Finals, hit that button and then hit the Battle button to search for tournament battles. The pool of available targets will get filtered by the following rules:

Only ships of fleets in our fleet's division will be available for Tournament Battles
You may attack any player in your fleet's division for a tournament battle only once per Finals
You may attack any other fleet in your fleet's division for a tournament only once per day
You may attack a player that is currently online
After a ship has been hit, it won't show in the target pool for 2 hours (tournament immunity)
There are no other restrictions, e.g. by level, Trophies , power level etc.

Getting Stars[]

You're cruising in space and blasting Star targets, nice! Obviously, to get the Stars, you have to defeat the enemy. Losing will not cost you Stars, but you won't gain any either. A successful defense won't get you any stars either. Tournament battles can't be revenged.

You can attempt up to 6 Tournament Battles on each day of the Tournament for a total of 42 battles. If you retreat from a battle or lose it, an attempt is lost and no stars will be gained for that attempt. So choose your targets wisely. The number of available attempts on a given day is indicated by the number of white stars next to the Tournament Battle button.

What determines the Stars people are worth, the Star Value (SV)? For this we need two formulas. Decimals are truncated for both formulas.

The first formula calculates a player's Trophy Star Value (TSV):

 $\text{Player's TSV} = \frac{\text{Player's Trophy Count}}{100}$

The second formula calculates a player's Earned Star Value (ESV). It is bases on the number of stars that player had collected until the last Daily Reset:

 $\text{Player's ESV} = \text{Stars earned until last Daily Reset} \times 0.15$

The final Star Value (SV), which an attacker earns for a successful attack, is this:

 ${\displaystyle \begin{align} \text{SV} &= Floor(Maximum(\text{TSV}, ~ \text{ESV})) \\ \\ &= Floor \left( Maximum \left( \frac{\text{Player's Trophy Count}}{100}, ~ \text{Stars earned until last Daily Reset} \times 0.15 \right) \right) \end{align}}$

Examples:

You defeat an enemy with 3999 Trophies (TSV 3.999) and 101 Stars (ESV 15.15). Because their ESV is greater than their TSV, the enemy's Star Value is their ESV, i.e. 15.15, which gets floored to 15 Stars .

You defeat an enemy with 2999 Trophies (TSV 2.999) and 10 Stars (ESV 1.5). Because their TSV is greater than their ESV, the enemy's Star Value is their TSV, i.e. 2.999, which gets floored to 2 Stars .

Fleet Division Prizes[]

	2nd	4k Starbux and 400 Doves
	3rd	3k Starbux and 300 Doves
	4th to 10th	2k Starbux and 200 Doves
	11th to 50th	1k Starbux and 100 Doves

Time to claim the reward for all that hard work. Once Stars are tallied up, Fleets receive placement based on the number of Stars achieved. The rewards are split equally across all active members at the end of the Tournament finals. If your Fleet won the elusive 1st place reward, all active members are given the prize. Members are also given pins based on their placement. New members (joined less than 1 week ago) only receive a portion of the prize (and no special item for getting 1st in division A). Inactive members (more than 2 weeks offline) will still get their share of the reward. Candidates of a fleet get no rewards.

Individual Division Prizes[]

The Top 50 players also get rewarded when Finals ends. Trophies are used instead of Stars to determine placement. But wait there's more! Once Finals ends, all players above 5,000 Trophies are dropped back to the 5k mark for a fresh start. The top 3 players are also given pins.

Season Titles[]

Points are awarded to Fleets based on their Finals placements, the Championship Score. At the end of December, the points are tallied up and the winning Fleet is given a very special prize. Members of the top 3 Fleets are also given special pins. For 2018, the season winning Fleet, ZAKI龍 were given the ZAKI龍 Blueprint and a real life Pixel Starships cap.

Dove Store[]

How To Access The Store[]

Hit the [i] next to the month name, then hit the dove.

What Are Doves?[]

Along with Starbux , Tournaments will reward a currency called Doves . These can be used in the Dove Store to buy a variety of things. Doves can also be obtained through In-App Purchases.

Store Mechanics/Notes[]

Certain items may be renamed ??? and replaced with if the player does not possess enough Doves to purchase them. Certain items are only available to players in certain divisions (Eligibility determined after finals).

Items are highlighted in green (most buy), yellow (Buy after Green), and red (Don't buy). The limit, in addition to being the purchase limit, also takes into account if the item is already owned. Owning an item will count towards its limit, and counterpart items for rooms/items will also count.

P.S : Some of the items for sale in the Dove store can also be purchased with Starbux, some players would recommend not buying said items with Doves
