EliteMelds Tournament FAQs
Got questions about formats, rewards, or rankings? Below we break down the most asked tournament queries — in-depth, strategic, and player-approved.
How are tournament prize pools calculated?
Tournament prize pools are dynamic — the more participants that enter, the larger the total prize pool becomes. Each tournament displays its minimum pool, payout structure (Tier-1, Tier-2, Tier-3), and bonus rewards. You can also earn bonus XP for reaching quarter-finals and beyond.
How long do tournaments last?
Duration varies by format. Blitz tournaments may last under 30 minutes, while weekend ladders can stretch over hours. However, each round is timed (45–60 seconds per turn), ensuring smooth pacing. Players are automatically moved to the next round bracket once all games in a round are completed.
How are opponents selected in a tournament?
EliteMelds uses a hybrid bracket system that pairs players based on entry order and skill rating. In early rounds, opponents are randomized to ensure fairness. From Round 2 onwards, your recent win/loss record influences your pairings — favoring more balanced, competitive matchups.
What happens if a player disconnects during a match?
If a player disconnects for more than 30 seconds, the game proceeds with an auto-fold or forced discard. Reconnection is possible without losing progress — but multiple disconnections may result in disqualification, especially in mid-to-late stages of the tournament. We recommend playing on a stable WiFi network for a smooth experience.
