Online qualifiers rules and rewards
I. Selection Rules
1. During the event, squads will accumulate Apex Stones by participating in five events: [Mobius Peak], [Tribe Day Treasure Hunt], [Sacred Crucible], [Happy Toy Machine], and [Axemaster Trial]. Please note that Squads with fewer than 3 members will not be ranked.
2. Ranking updates for stage contests and the final selection will be updated for Chiefs within 1 working day after the event concludes. For detailed information, please refer to the rules for the stages and final selection below.
3. This competition is only open to players aged 18 or older. Officials will contact participants in qualification order to confirm their intent to compete. Within five business days after each round of the online qualifiers, we will notify teams that advance to the offline event via in-game mail. If none of a team's three members can attend the offline event, the team will be considered withdrawn. The competition slot and related participation benefits will then be offered to the next eligible team in the rankings. These benefits cannot be exchanged for in game items, cash, or physical rewards. If a team qualifies but cannot participate for personal reasons, please contact the organizers.
4. To confirm participation, players must sign the Informed Consent Form before continuing with the event process. They must also submit the required personal details, such as legal name, age, passport details, and email address, via in-game mail so we can arrange round trip flights, hotel stays, and other event logistics. We will use this information only for event related purposes. Players are responsible for ensuring all submitted information is true and accurate. Any losses resulting from incorrect information will be borne by the player. Players who do not sign the consent form may become ineligible to participate in the offline finals.
5. The 2026 IGG World Championship Grand Finals will be held in Singapore. Please prepare all necessary travel documents, such as your entry visa and passport, in advance. If needed, we can provide an official invitation letter to support your visa application.
6. Upon arrival at the venue, players must present the official account they used during qualification to verify their identity and eligibility. Players who do not pass verification may be disqualified from the event.

II. Squad Formation Rules
1. Creating/Joining a Squad: You can create and register a Squad on this webpage, and share the Squad for others to join. Alternatively, you can search for the name of a Squad you'd like to join and tap to join it directly.
2. Change Squad: You can freely leave/join Squads before the specified deadline. After this time, leaving a Squad will no longer be allowed. However, if you are not in a Squad, you may still join one. The specific time is subject to the page display.
3. Apex Stones belong to the individual. If you leave a Squad, your portion of Apex Stones will be deducted from the Squad's total Apex Stone count. Once you join a new Squad, your Apex Stones will be added to the new Squad's total count.
4. After each online qualifier concludes, Squads will be automatically dissolved. You can create a new Squad and invite teammates again after the next round of competition begins.

III. Stage contests and final selection rules:
1. Stage contest: February to May, selecting a total of 4 squads
The stage contest is divided into 4 rounds: each round selects 1 championship squad. Participating Squads will accumulate Apex Stones by participating in five events: [Mobius Peak], [Tribe Day Treasure Hunt], [Sacred Crucible], [Happy Toy Machine], and [Axemaster Trial].
The squad with the highest Apex Stone count in the current round is the champion of that round and earns qualification for the offline competition.

Notes:
① Members of the champion squad cannot participate in subsequent selections.
② During the stage contest, the Apex Stone count from the current round does not carry over to the next round. For example, if Squad A obtains X Apex Stones in Stage 1 but does not rank first, when participating again in Stage 2, their Apex Stone count will be reset and start anew.
③ The final rankings will be processed within 24 hours after the event concludes. The duration of the next stage contest will be notified one week before it opens. Please refer to the event page for the final times for the event.
④ After the contest concludes, we will confirm offline attendance with the squad ranked first in the stage contest via in-game mail. All three members of your squad must attend the offline competition. Failure to do so will result in your Squad's qualification being revoked and offered to the next Squad in the rankings. Revoked qualification slots will not be replaced with any in-game items or physical rewards.

2. Final Selection: June, selecting 4 squads
The final selection is expected to begin in June, when the top four squads will be chosen from all participants. After the event, squads will be ranked by the total number of Apex Stones earned by all members across the four stage contests (February-May) and the June final selection.

Notes:
① If a squad that has already been selected confirms forfeiture qualification, the competition slot and benefits will be passed down the rankings.
② After the contest concludes, we will confirm offline attendance with the top four squads in the final selection ranking via in-game mail to confirm their participation. All three members of your squad must attend the offline competition. Failure to do so will result in your Squad's qualification being revoked and offered to the next Squad in the rankings. Revoked qualification slots will not be replaced with any in-game items or physical rewards.

IV. Calculation for Obtaining Apex Stones in each Event:
(1) Mobius Peak
Apex Stone Calculation Rules:
Apex Stone count = Round a × corresponding single-floor Apex Stone count + Round b × corresponding single-floor Apex Stone count. If a Chief participates in multiple rounds of the event during this period, the round with the highest event points will be used as the basis for calculation. If there is an event spanning across months within the current month, the points will be carried over to the next month when calculating.
Calculation Rule: The Event's corresponding floors are exchanged for a fixed quantity of Apex Stone. Calculation rules: A fixed amount of Apex Stones is exchangeable for each round completed, and the total sum will be calculated accordingly. For example, if you reach round 32 in a Mobius event, the number of Apex Stones earned will be calculated as follows: 19*0 + 10*15 + 3*20 = 210;
Number of Apex Stones obtainable per round:
0 ≤ x < 20: 0
20 ≤ x < 30: 15
30 ≤ x < 40: 20
40 ≤ x < 50: 25
50 ≤ x < 60: 40
60 ≤ x < 80: 45
80 ≤ x < 100: 50
100 and above: 55
(2) Tribe Day Treasure Hunt
Apex Stone Calculation Rules:
Apex Stone count = Points × corresponding points bracket weightage.
Calculation Rules: Number of Apex Stones = Event Points x Weightage. For example, if you earn 150 points, the number of Apex Stones earned will be: 150 x 4 = 600. If you earn 450 points, the number of Apex Stones earned will be: 450 x 5 = 2,250
Weightage corresponding to each point interval:
0 ≤ x < 30: 3
30 ≤ x < 60: 3
60 ≤ x < 100: 3
100 ≤ x < 150: 4
150 ≤ x < 200: 4
200 ≤ x < 400: 4
400 ≤ x < 700: 5
700 ≤ x < 1000: 5
1000 ≤ x < 2000: 6
2000 and above: 6
(3) Sacred Crucible
You can obtain Apex Stones through Leagues in the in-game Sacred Crucible. We will calculate the Apex Stones based on the highest League you have achieved during the stage contests or final selection.
Number of Apex Stones obtainable per league
Iron: 300
Bronze: 400
Silver: 500
Gold: 750
Diamond: 1000
Fearless Warrior：1500
God of War: 2500
(4) Happy Toy Machine
Apex Stone Calculation Rules:
Apex Stone quantity = Claw Machine Points / 15. For example, if you obtain 36,000 Points in the Happy Toy Machine, the number of Apex Stones you can obtain is 2,400 (rounded up).
(5) Axemaster Trial
Apex Stone Calculation Rules:
Apex Stone quantity = Axemaster Points × 2. For example, if you obtain 4,300 Axemaster Points, Apex Stone quantity = 4,300 * 2 = 8,600
