Battle FFA and tournaments guide

Battle FFA

Link your WG account before playing

Battle FFA is built around your World of Tanks account. Before registering, you need to link your WG account from the Battle FFA page. As long as you are participating in at least one active tournament, changing account or region stays locked.

Reading a Battle FFA tournament

Each tournament card shows the useful registration info up front: mode, coefficient grid, credit pool, player limit, minimum battles, optional battle cap, rating range and tournament dates.

• Upcoming: visible but not yet in active resolution.
• Active: registration, refresh and leaderboard tracking are available depending on the context.
• Closed: tournament finished, final ranking available in read-only mode.

How the score is calculated

Battle FFA does not use your absolute WoT score. When you register, the game stores a starting snapshot of your stats for the selected mode. The tournament score then becomes the progression between the current state and that starting snapshot, weighted by the tournament's coefficient grid.

If a tournament defines a maximum number of counted battles, the raw progression is reweighted to that limit instead of being displayed with every battle counted at full value. In practice, the visible score, the leaderboard order and the credit estimate all use this final weighted score rather than the uncapped raw delta.

• The Coefficients button shows which stats really matter for the tournament.
• The minimum number of battles must be reached for the score to qualify.
• Some tournaments can also cap the number of battles that are effectively counted in the final score.
• Minimum or maximum rating can block access before registration.

Manual refresh and global refresh

During an active tournament, you can refresh your own stats if the tournament delay allows it. Battle FFA also displays an estimated global refresh at the next top of the hour, together with the last successful global refresh when one exists.

• Manual refresh only affects your own entry.
• If you try too early, the tournament blocks you until the next allowed window.
• Active tournaments also show a global refresh panel to help you read the leaderboard rhythm.

Leaderboard, effective pool and rewards

The leaderboard is sorted by final score, with your own row highlighted in the tournament view. When several players share the same final score, the one who used fewer battles stays ahead, then a stable order is kept. The credit pool shown on screen can be proportional to the actual fill rate of the tournament up to the configured player limit.

• Max pool is the full theoretical envelope.
• Current pool is the effective amount computed from the number of entries that are taken into account.
• Final credit distribution happens at closure according to the ranking.
• An estimated credit amount can be visible during the tournament to help you understand your current position.
• The displayed score and the credit estimate follow the same final weighted ranking logic.

Choosing a mode

Battle FFA can use several WoT modes, currently random, bastion, onslaught, other, frontline and training. Each mode can have its own coefficient grid, so two tournaments do not necessarily reward the same kind of progression. The onslaught, other (event / fun), Frontline and Training modes are only captured by the Battle-Conquest mod (see the Battle-Conquest mod page). Frontline and Training default to Random coefficients, customizable in a grid. Training has no plausibility limits on statistics or battle frequency; technical capacity, dates, account identity and duplicate checks still apply, along with the tournament battle minimum and weighting cap.

Multi-phase tournaments

A multi-phase tournament runs over several days: an open qualifier followed by a single-elimination bracket. Unlike a Battle FFA, it is not just a leaderboard — you have to win matchups to move on.

The four phases

1. Registration — you sign up on the tournament page. Nothing is measured yet: you can withdraw until qualifying starts.
2. Qualifying — an ordinary Battle FFA, open to every entrant, with its own credit pool. The best ones enter the bracket; the others keep their qualifying winnings.
3. Bracket — single elimination. Each round pits you against one opponent; the loser is out. A third-place match settles the podium.
4. Closing — the final ranking is frozen, then rewards are granted according to your place.

How a match is played

A match is not a game you join: both opponents play on their own side in World of Tanks, during the same time window. Whoever progresses the most wins.

• The window is what counts — only battles played between the start and the end of the match count. Your starting stats are frozen when it begins.
• On a tie — the better score wins; on equal scores, whoever got there in fewer battles; then the better qualifying rank.
• Do not miss your slot — a player who does not reach the minimum number of battles loses by forfeit. Your dashboard announces every match: keep an eye on it.

Rewards

They depend on your final place and are announced before the tournament. Credits, Prime days and inventory items arrive automatically; World of Tanks prizes are delivered by hand by an administrator. Each tournament's standings stay available after closing.
