# Qualifications The second day will be the beginning of the qualifaction matches. During these matches teams will participate in scheduled games to earn ranking points to move up in the rankings, as the top 8 teams will be allowed to be alliance captains for playoffs. Ranking Points: * There are 2 ranking points given for winning a match. * There is 1 ranking point given to each team for a tie. * There are 0 ranking points given for losing a match. * There additional ranking points available based on the game, such as number of pieces scored. This will often take 2 days, as the second day will have the last few qualification matches, and then alliance selection will occur. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
