Designer(s): Zero Match Type: MM (for 11 players)
Featured in: The Genius: Tempo Up

It's that time of the ORG, the first Limited Communications MainMatch!

For the duration of the MainMatch #player-lounge will be disabled.


In this game each player starts with 20 coins.

Players may spend their garnets to gain coins equal to the episode the garnet will decay.


In each round, points will be auctioned off in buckets.

Players may bid on any number of auctions, but must bid at least once each round.

All bids are lost once made.


For each bucket the amount of coins will be split based on every bid.


If there is only a single bid for a bucket, that person will gain all the points in the bucket.

It is revealed who won the bucket in this case.


If there are multiple bids, we discard the lowest bid amount made.

This can be a single player, or tied between multiple players.

Afterwards we split the total points in the bucket to all the other players who made a bid.

Each player earns points equal to:

Floor⌊ ([Total points in the bucket] x ([Your bid coins] / [Total bid coins not discarded])) x10 ⌋ / 10

It will be announced how many players bid on this bucket in this case.


Players will not be told their points during the MainMatch


In Round 1, Six buckets containing 17 points will be Auctioned.

In Round 2, Seven buckets containing 20 points will be Auctioned.

In Round 3, Eight buckets containing 24 points will be Auctioned.

Every bucket in a round will be unique.

Buckets will be revealed 1 hour after the start deadline.

Bucket may also have garnets listed next to them.

Players will earn garnets in the same fashion as points.

At the end of the MainMatch, players garnets total are rounded down to the nearest total.

Players then receive that many garnets.
