How Quoridor Tournaments Work

  • A new tournament every 8 hours. They start at 00:00, 08:00 and 16:00 UTC, and this page shows each start in your own time zone. Two are open at once, one for 8 players and one for 16.
  • Sign up with a display name. There are no accounts. You can sign up until the start and withdraw before it. A tournament that has not filled all its places when it starts is cancelled, and you can sign up for the next one.
  • A knockout bracket. The pairings are drawn by lot at the start. Win your match to go on; lose and you are out. An 8-player tournament has three rounds and a 16-player tournament has four, ending with the final.
  • Normal games of Quoridor. Every match uses the classic rules, with 32 seconds per move and 5 minutes per player for the whole game. There is no rematch, so every match has a winner.
  • Be there at the start. Keep this page open and it takes you to each match as soon as it is ready; on other pages of the site a note appears instead. A player who has not opened their match within 3 minutes forfeits it, and leaving a game in progress forfeits it too.
  • Names are public. Everyone can see the display names, the bracket and the results of a tournament while it is listed, which is until 24 hours after it ends.
