I wait until the last min to join tournament and I get put in a shard where 1st has 6k points? How is that possible? Tell us how you form shards because this is bull... sorry for the double post, not sure how that happened. And yes I see how it could be taken that way, poor wording due to aggravation. Only thing worse than having a job is not having a job

Maybe they have a detection mechanism that detects if you are just trying to enter at the end to get 1st. Great strategy.

lol, your "strategy" didn't work did it? xD

My strategy works for tournaments - I don't care about tournaments, don't try to do well so Im not bothered where I finish.

I wanna know how tiers are formed

When a mommy tier loves a daddy tier very much ...

Do we have any sense that there is a player limit to shards? Like do they actually fill or are they simply based on some initial criteria and never actually fill?

That's exactly what I mean... how are these shards formed?

Your OP sounded like you were intentionally waiting until the last min to join. So i assumed you gambled and lost and were a bit unhappy with the outcome.
To be fair, can't expect to have a serious chance in a 24h tournament when you only join in the last min.

No, I knew I'd be behind for sure but was not expecting a shard that was formed at the start. Turns out I'm in same shard as guildy & he joined at the start. I just wanna know how these are formed... are they preset, as it seems they are, or is it some other system?

I was always under the impression it was regionally based. Some of my guildies started and ended their tournaments 6 hours before mine even opened. I live in California... i hope this doesnt mean i play against everyone in the Southwest of the United States on a single server..
