Maps in December
Since Pangea is a fresh addition to the Map pool, it will not be played in this month's Polysseum. Instead, we will play on Lakes Archipelago, Drylands and Continents.

Season Finals change
Earlier, we announced that we are merging December into the Fall season, so we will host Fall Season finals a month later with the best players from September, October, November and December.

• The main one is the game update. We can Season finals to be diverse map-vice. Since the new update introduced changes on maps with water, there is a very short period from the update to the Season finals for the players to adapt to the changes.
  
• Secondly, having 4 players qualified from each month (16 in total) will allow us to have more common tournament formats.
  

Tournament capacity
We are continuing with tournament splitting. It might sound confusing, so bear with me.

• There will be a maximum of 16 players per tournament.
  
• But a maximum of 3 tournaments will be created daily, which means, if there are enough players on a waiting list, Challengermode will create up to 3 tournaments with 16 players in each, accommodating up to 48 players.
  
• The minimum number of players on a waiting list required to create an additional tournament is 10. For example, if we have 16 checked-in players and 8 are on a waiting list, it will not create an additional tournament.
  
• Players will be distributed evenly based on their check-in time. So if 16 players confirm participation and 10 are on a waiting list, it will create 2 tournaments with 13 players in each.
  
• All of this means that if you are on a waiting list, don't go too far from your device because you might have a tournament to play.
