Tenders
22 August 2011 edition
- Every player who conforms to the requirements of the League of the conducted tender and whose company is full-functional, not blocked, not a bankrupt and not likely to become one can participate in tenders. In addition, on non-subscription realms in order to win VIRTs the registered participants of tendering have to have the Management qualification equal to or higher than 10 not considering awarded bonuses;
Game characters by any manner controlled by the same participant (clones) cannot participate in tenders;
- Each tender is played among players of a certain League. When determining the League of a player we take into account his/her qualification in the skill which corresponds with the specialization of the tender (without considering awarded bonuses) . If the League of the player does not match the League of the tender, he/she is not allowed to participate and cannot take the prize. The availability of the tender for participation is checked both at the time of registration, and at the time of summing up. At the time of registration when checking the availability of the tender the current level of player’s relevant skill is taken into account. When summarizing the results the level of the relevant skill is taken into account directly before counting of tender rankings. We divide players into Leagues according to the following scheme:
- players with the level of a corresponding skill less than 15 are the players of the Amateur league;
- players with the level of a corresponding skill from 16 to 30 are the players of the Professional league;
- players with the level of a corresponding skill from 31 are the players of the Super-professional league.
Tenders differ from each other in the type of the prize (game currency, points, VIRTs, additional progress in the growth of qualification), the size of the prize and the number of prize places. In addition, tenders can be one day long (a winner is determined according to the results of one update before the day of summing up) and three days long (a winner is determined according to the results of three updates before the day of summing up);
Date of the tendering is 7 updates from the date when a tender has been generated. Tenders are posted for a public display, so that everybody could see which missions are available, their value and the date of their availability;
In order to participate in tendering one has to register. The ranking is calculated for all companies, not only for registered ones. If an unregistered participant or a participant from another League wins a tender, the prize is returned to the budget;
The final ranking is posted only once - during the tendering. No listings of registered participants will be published;
You can win in several tenders at once. In one tender one player can receive only one prize. In case of winning of several prize places a player receives the bigger prize, and the rest of the prize fund does not go to anyone;
In all nominations in case of equality of the competition ranking the winner is the player with more VIRTs on the account (excluding potential winnings). In case of equality in this index, the amount of assets is the determinating factor. In case of equality in this index also, the winner is determined randomly;
