Full Win vs Modified Win

By Starbane, in Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

It would seem that 2 full wins and 2 modified wins will get you a spot in day 2 of worlds.

Where can I find the definitions of full and modified wins?

What are the tiebreakers?

Full win = 5 points.

Modified win = 3 points.

You get a full win if you win the game by stronghold/dishonor/honor.

If nobody won when time is called there is two possibilities :

1) the draw phase isn't over yet : you count your tiebreaker points (see below). If a player has 5 more points than his opponent, he get a full win. If not finish the round.

2) you're already past the draw phase : finish the round.

At the end of the round, count the tiebreaker points. If a player has 5 more points, he's got a full win. If not, whoever got the most points got a modified win.

Tiebreaker points :

+ 2 points / opponent's broken provinces.

+2 points if most honor.

+1 point if favour.

Thank you very much for the reply. If I may ask, where did you find this information.

That's how people who participated in the honored London event described it to me. I don't think ffg made an official announcement tho.

Thanks again. That system seems very FFG and believable to me. Hopefully FFG publishes something soon. With worlds less than a month off it seems kind of important.

where is worlds?

Roseville, MN. At FFG's headquarters.

I find it rather ironic that Fu Leng would have the audacity to come onto this forum and post a question regarding the location of a L5R gathering of Clans.... actually, I'm getting chills up and down my spine right now as I think about it.

:D

Yep I crawled right out of the Festering Pit to get on this forum! :)

Is it 2 points for each broken province or 2 points for having more broken than your opponent?

It's 2 points for each province that you have broken.

2 points for each busted province.

Modified wins without modified losses create perverse incentives, as you get more SoS if your opponent gets a full win than if they get a modified win, but you don't get a higher score for preventing that full win. Unless you've been paired down*, your opponent getting 2 more tournament points won't affect your standing, so conceding is more advantageous than sticking it to the end and still losing. If stalling is a problem, just go win or loss.

* In that case, your opponent could catch up with you (or even overtake you) with the extra points.
