| Anniversary Tournament Events |
| Each category of the tournament has a number of games planned throughout the duration of the tournament. These games will test various aspects of your knowledge and skill in Imperian, while others will just be for goofy fun with a touch of randomness. |
| There are two types of games for scoring purposes: Primary Scoring and Secondary Scoring. For games that use the Primary Scoring method, the top 10 participants will receive tournament points ranging from 50 points to first to 5 points to tenth. For games that use the Secondary Scoring method, the top 5 participants will receive tournament points ranging from 25 points to first to 5 points to third. In addition, the first place finisher in every game gets an opportunity to participate in some sneak-peak testing of the new Defiler profession. |

|
| All players who make an effort to participate in a game will receive 1 point. If there are fewer than 10 players in a Primary game or 5 players in a Secondary game, the participating players will divide the sum of the total prize points. In the case of a tie, the tied players earn an equally divided sum of the prizes for the tied positions. |
| Some games are divided into A and B variants. You can only participate in either the A or B variant on the same character. You can participate in multiple variants on different characters, except in the Body category games. You cannot participate in the same game with multiple characters, as you might end up competing against yourself, and that would be multiplaying. To participate in the Body category, you must register one and only one character with which you will be able to participate in all of the Body games. |
