The Global Challenge Tournament returns in 2022!
What is this?
The Global Challenge is a Round Robin tournament unfolding over the first six weeks of the UGWC calendar year. Ten entrants will participate in the event, which is first come, first serve, and is open to new members of UGWC as well. The winner of the event will receive the first of four keys to be awarded during the year that grant the winner access to the Keeper of the Keys event in November.
The ten entrants will be split into two blocks, and each participant will face the other four members of their block one time. Scoring possibilities are expanded from last year and are listed below. At Infinity on February 15, the participants of each block will be ranked and will face off against the same ranked opponent from the opposite block. Ties are broken by head to head performance. While all five match-ups will have a prize on the line, the top ranked competitor in each block will compete for the Global Challenge Key.
