1. With less then 8 players at the start of the season the following rules will be in effect.

2. Players will be able to join the season while it will be lasting.

3. Only the registered players who signed up to the season can attend the competition. The complete list can be found on official KF forums. That is where new players must sign-in as well.

4. Players cannot play more than 2 official games against each other until all will play at least 2 official games against each other or a total of 10 official games is reported. This is done in order to boost up initial activity to create base for further ranking.

5. An official leaguegame against the same player cannot be played more than once within 24 hours.

6. The season will last 4 months. Matches will be played at 3 victories in regular plase, at 5 victories in playoffs semifinals and at 10 victories in season final.

7. A maximum of 50 games per season is allowed, a max of 5 games against 1 opponent is allowed, a player who has played at least 2 matches and has a negative head-to-head against certain player can refuse to play more games against that player within a season.

8. The order of games is decisive, whenever a maximum of 30 games is reached, so if some players will not reach their maximums with certain players, but the maximum of 30 official leaguegames overall is reached, the ranking determins playoff stage participants.

9. Once 10 official games are played or all registered players will play 2 games against each other the "11)" will come in effect.

3-0 = 100 points
3-1 = 80 points
3-2 = 60 points
2-3 = 20 points
1-3 = 10 points
0-3 = 0 points

The ranking list will be based on match wins as main criteria, round ratio as 2nd criteria and overall points (global = [basic + performance] + bonus points*) as last criteria.

11. While there's a possibility of players joining while the season is lasting, the following bonus points* will be applied if the described situation occurs:

If a player ranked 4 to 6 places below the player he is playing wins, he will be added 25% to the 100, 80 or 60 points depending on a match score

13. Overall points difference synced with results of final matches of the season at the end will decide about the moneyprizes for the best 3 players of the season.

14. There won't be additional points for final match scores as it is directly included in a money prize formula.

15. Special equasion called "money prize formula" is prepared and will calculate the prizes.

16. To simplify it, there are prize bases for 1st, 2nd and 3rd places that are 50, 30 and 10 Euros, but the better you perform, there is a chance to increase these values.
