final
-1 group of 2 players
-winner is the winner of the tournament

In each group there will be 1 game on the home settings of all players in that group. Winner of each game gets 4 points, runner-up gets 2 points and 3rd placed team gets 1 point.
As soon as all remaining games in a round have reached round 30, I will give a 5 round notice to all remaining games. If the games are still not finished by then, I will split the remaining points equally over the players that are still in the game. If the points can't be split equally, then the players that have the most territories at the start of their turn in the round specified will get 1 point more then the other players.
When players have the same amount of points after all group games there will be a play-off game on World 2.1, Flat Rate, Unlimited (Chained for 2-player games).

2 player homegames of players with Unlimited as home setting will be played with Chained fortifying.
