There are multiple types of Tournaments available:

Jackpot

Swiss

When playing in a Jackpot Tournament players are matched against all players actively participating in the tournament. The game attempts to match players up against others with a similar Jackpot ELO (separate from the regular ELO).

Players can play as many or as few matches as desired. Playing more matches has the chance to raise you Jackpot ELO and move up the ranks. Once reaching the top ELO (above or around 300) players can stop and wait to see who catches up to them and then battle again to remain on top.

It should be noted that Top Tier decks and minimal card counts (Decks with 59 cards) are usually what are encountered here. These types of decks are very focused to perform well and contain top level cards and are very focused in how they are played. This is where the top players come to compete.

Players acquire XP and some gold while dueling, but a portion of the gold goes into the overall Jackpot. The Jackpot prize is a portion of the overall gold that has been accumulating from all players throughout the tournament. The more people playing the higher the jackpot dividends at the end. Only the top tier receives any Gold when the Tournament ends.

There are achievements for winning a Jackpot Tournament or getting a win streak in a Tournament. The prizes awarded are cards or a box of cards.

When playing a Swiss Tournament players are placed into a group of 8 and everyone plays three games (rounds) to determine the winner. The deck selected at the beginning of the tournament is is locked in for all three games. After each win 'points' are awarded; with any loss 'breakpoints' are awarded. Breakpoints help determine ranking placement in case of ties. Each game is timed, 7:00 minutes total, if the time runs out it counts as a loss for that player.

Prizes awarded are as follows:

The random chance award is given to a player who played all three rounds of the Swiss Tournament. One player who finishes all three games has a chance to win this award. If a player quits before finishing all three games they are eliminated from this chance opportunity.
