EDIT: Updated stage standings to correct a calculation error in the standings spreadsheet that was causing duels against Misty to be resolved incorrectly.


NOTE: Two minor rule changes had to be made to adjust for the first Regular stage's results.

First, the stage scoring needed to change in order to make the spread wide enough to avoid arbitrary splits between the groups. Now, instead of the number of Green Nobles collected also determining the stage ranking, the stage ranking is determined by the number of Stage Points collected. Stage Points are gained and lost in the same way as Green Nobles, but do not reset to 0 if they go into the negative. The Terms of Dueling has been updated to reflect this.

Second, a tiebreaker rule was added. If two or more duelists are tied on Stage Points, whoever gained more Silver Nobles is ranked higher. If the duelists are also tied on Silver Nobles, whoever's Point Difference Per Duel is higher is ranked higher.

For those concerned about future rule changes, the Tour will only change rules after the first stage of each type, and only if not doing so would significantly undermine fair and consistent adjudication of the Tour.
