Continental: only players from specific continent can join. They also must be high enough in continental ranking to participate.

Worldwide: the most important of all tournaments. Only players with highest ranking places are able to join.

How "Regional" tournaments are chosen for me?

Game checks your IP during registration. With your and other peoples IPs we can choose tournament that is closest to your city.

 

Sometimes you can play in tournament which is far away from your location. That's because there were no close tournaments available.

I've gained ranking points. How are they counted?

Ranking points are counted individually for each closed tournament. It is a simple equation:

 

TotalPoints = TournamentImportance * PointsPerPlace


TournamentImportance - factor which depends on tournament type

PointsPerPlace - constant number of points for particular place

 

Importance for different tournament types:

Regional - 1

Continental - 10

Worldwide - 50

 

Points for each place:

1 - 25 points

2 - 18 points

3 - 15 points

4 - 12 points

5 - 10 points

6 - 8 points

7 - 6 points

8 - 4 points

9 - 2 points

10 - 1 point

11 or higher - 0 points

I've just registered. Can i compete with players who joined earlier than me?

Yes, because old tournaments are not counted into current rank. You must win tournaments and soon you can be first on ranks!

I've won stars. What are they for?

You can use stars to buy upgrades. There are three upgrade types avaiable:

 

Bow upgrade - reduces shaking, making aiming easier

Strength upgrade - decreases growth of shaking during long aiming, making it easier

Arrow update - decreases wind impact, making aiming easier

 

I've played in tournament, but I haven't gained any points or stars. Why?

You gain ranking points and stars only if tournament ends and ranks update takes place.

How often does ranks update take place?

Ranks are updated every half an hour.

I've played in all tournaments and there are no more available. What now?

New continental/world tournaments will be automatically created when current end.

 

You can always play in regional tournaments.

When does the tournament end?

Regional tournaments end when number of players reaches its minimum number

 

Continental tournaments end when enough people plays in it (depends on overal number of active players) or tournament length passes its maximum time

 

World tournaments end when enough people plays in it (depends on overal number of active players) or tournament length passes its maximum time

How does wind affect my shooting?

Wind can change direction of arrow's flight.

 

It can modify it in any direction (left/right/up/down). The amount of change depends on wind speed and your arrows level.

 

In-game wind indicator shows current direction and strength of wind.

How does fatigue affect my shooting?

The more tired you are, the harder aiming becomes.

 

With high fatigue level bow shakes become very strong, so try to shoot just after aiming.

 

You can reduce fatigue rise speed by upgradeing your strength.

 

In-game fatigue indicator shows you current level of tiredness.

Why am I loosing ranking points?

Current rank is based on current tournaments. Old tournaments are deleted and so are ranking points connected to them. Post end deletion interval is based on tournament type and is varying from 3 to 9 days (regional / world).

 

To stay with high rank you have to participate in new tournaments.
