BPA Thurn & Taxis PBEM 2020 Tournament
This is the home page for the 2020 Boardgame Players Association “Play By Email” tournament for Thurn & Taxis. It is open only to members of the Boardgame Players Association (BPA). It you attend the World Boardgaming Championship (WBC), and are up to date on your registration fees, then you are already a member. If not, you can purchase a “PBEM Membership” for $10 from this website: www.boardgamers.org. This tournament will award laurels and contribute to the annual Caesar award, all of which is tracked through that same website.
To register for the tournament, email Jay Spencer at jay.spencer@ymail.com with your Yucata user name. Be sure to use the email account you use for your BPA membership!
GM: Jay Spencer
Assistant: Chris Wildes
Format
Games will be 4-player games whenever possible, using the free website Yucata.
Points:
- 1st place finish: 1000 points plus (your score/second place score)
- 2nd place finish: 100 points plus (your score/winning score)
- 3rd place finish: 10 points plus (your score/winning score)
Advancement to the next stage will be based on the following criteria:
- Most points in current stage
- Total raw score in all games in current stage
Heat Stage: Everyone who joins the event will play in 4 asynchronous games, which will launch simultaneously. Players will be paired randomly within the constraint that we will do our best to avoid putting people into multiple games together.
Quarterfinal Stage: If there are more than 64 entrants, then the Quarterfinal Stage will consist of 50% (rounded down) of the number of entrants. If there are 64 or fewer entrants, then the Heat Stage will be followed directly by the Semifinal Stage.
Players will be placed in 4 simultaneous asynchronous games. The top four qualifiers will be seeded based on the results from the Heat Stage as much as possible. In addition, we will avoid giving anyone repeat opponents if possible.
Semifinal Stage: The Semifinal Stage will consist of 50% (rounded down) of the number of quarterfinalists. If there is no Quarterfinal Stage, then the Semifinal Stage will consist of 50% (rounded down) of the number of entrants.
Players will be placed in 4 simultaneous asynchronous games. The top four qualifiers will be seeded based on the results from the previous stage as much as possible. In addition, we will avoid giving anyone repeat opponents if possible.
Final Stage: One single game will be played with the top four qualifiers. The next two qualifiers will place 5th and 6th for laurel purposes.
Pace of Play: Games are asynchronous, but the expectation is that you will check your games approximately daily or more frequently. Life happens and delays will occur, but be aware that the Yucata site removes any game in which a turn has not been taken in 30 days. Please do not sign up if you think you will not be able to keep up.
Platform
Games will be played exclusively on yucata.de.
Schedule
Registration Opened: September 2020

Last Season Results
Rob Murray won Season 18 becoming the first back-to-back winner since Chris Wildes accomplished the same feat in Seasons 11 & 12. Even with the win, the inactive king, Kyle Smith, is still so far ahead in lifetime standings that nobody can mathematically catch him for several seasons. Sky Roy rejoins Division 1 once again in Season 19, but the big story is that Steve and Deb LeWinter will become the second husband/wife duo to compete against each other in Division 1 in the league’s history – the first, of course, being Kyle and Hilary Smith.

In each season, you will play in 4 simultaneous games and each other member of your league will be in exactly two of them. Do well and you’ll get promoted to a tougher division. Do badly and you’ll drop to an easier one. Full details about our format and scoring system (which is the same for all our online leagues) are here: rules page.

In a season, each player plays in 4 games and each other member of your Group will be in 2 games against you. Winning a game is worth 10 points, 2nd is 6, 3rd place gets you 3 points, and 4th nets 1.

This system is run by the Meeple League, but has a separate domain name because it isn’t part of our WordPress system. We are developing it on our own. The reason we are doing sign ups with it now is to make sure players are credited for participation in all Meeple League events. Mis-typed and slight variations in names causes many problems with our previous sign up and score reporting system. Having your own identity for use in all events saves a lot of sifting through data.Season 15 Standings

Our Egizia tournaments use the online implementation at www.yucata.de. We use the original version of the game with the following two variants:
- Game without Nile card “Draw + 2 sphinx cards”
- Game without Sphinx card “For each 10 p. you scored take 1 p. more”
Players are sorted into leagues of 7 players based on previous results. In a season, each player plays in 4 games. Each other member of your league will be in 2 games against you. See scoring rules below.
Divisions are based on previous Season results. New players enter at the bottom level for their first season.
One note on the Yucata implementation: Both the “You can place a ship on a full building site” and the “You can build first wherever you have a ship” must be activated during the Nile (boat placement) phase. They cannot be activated after the building phase begins. This is different from how they are often played in person.

Michael Swinson won the inaugural season, finishing atop an extremely close Division 1 in which top 4 finishers were each separated by one point apiece. Joining this highly competitive division will be Division 2 winners Rob Murray and Rob Kircher. In the third Division, Scott Burns, Greg Crowe, and Glenn Massey were victorious and will move up for the next season.

The implementation of Egizia on Yucata.de has a few interactions that are different from how the game is often played in person. I have listed some of the notable differences and reminders below and I recommend reading the full game rules on the site here: https://www.yucata.de/en/Rules/Egizia
- Both the “You can place a ship on a full building site” and the “You can build first wherever you have a ship” must be activated during the Nile (boat placement) phase. They cannot be activated after the building phase begins.
- The “You can place a ship on a full building site” card can only be applied to one building site. You must have already placed a speculative boat at this location.
- The “You can sell up to 10 stones” and “Add 6 stone” cards must be activated on your turn. They can be activated during the Nile phase or the Building phase. However, you will not be prompted to activate these cards in between phases, or at the end of the game.
- The two once-per-round crew upgrade permanent cards can be used during the Building phase (after feeding), but only if you have a ship at a building location. If you do not have a ship at a building location, you will not be prompted to use these cards. If you have only speculative ships, you will only be given an opportunity to use these cards if one of those speculations succeeds.
- No cards may be used during final scoring. All cards must be used, if desired, on your turn. Therefore if your last build is speculative and that speculation fails to allow you to build, then you will not be given an opportunity to use these cards. This is primarily relevant to the “You can sell up to 10 stones”, “Add 6 stone”, and “Field Upgrade” cards.

If not, you can purchase a “PBEM Membership” for $10 from this website: www.boardgamers.org. This tournament will award laurels and contribute to the annual Caesar award, all of which is tracked through that same website.
GM: Randy Buehler
Format
Games will be 4-player games whenever possible, using the app that launched in 2017 for iOS, Android, and Steam. You must own the app in order to participate in the tournament, and you must also own the New Leaders and Wonders expansion. Games will use “Random Mix” for the card set, “Rules: Digital” (which, yes, is slightly different from the tabletop version of the game but the massive quality of life gains are worth it), and “Default Asynch” timing (which means you have 24 hours to make a move once it is your turn, plus a time extension bank that refills whenever a new age begins … if you run out of time you will be dropped from the game and replaced by a bot).
Heat Stage: Everyone who joins the event will play in 3 asynch games, which will launch simultaneously. They will be paired randomly within the constraint that we will do our best to avoid putting people into multiple games together. If you win any of your games, you advance to the semifinal.
(Quarterfinal Stage: If more than 50 people enter the event then single winners from the heat stage will be entered into two quarterfinal matches each. Winning either earns advancement to the semifinals along with the double winners from the heat stage.)
Semifinal Stage: You will be placed in 4 simultaneous asynch games. They will be seeded based on the results from the Heat Stage as much as possible (details will depend on the number of semifinalists who qualify). In addition, we will avoid giving anyone repeat opponents if possible.
You will be awarded 10 points for winning a game, 6 for finishing 2nd, 3 for 3rd, and 1 for 4th. The top 7 point-earners will advance to the finals, with heat performance serving as the first tiebreaker and percentage of winner’s score in the semifinals as the second tiebreaker (and from the heats as the 3rd tiebreaker).
(This stage will be eliminated if there are 7 or fewer heat winners.)
Final Stage: You will be placed into 4 simultaneous games. Each of the other finalists will be in 2 of them. We use the same scale of points for each finish position as in the semifinals and the final standings go by these points. (Ties in the overall standings will be broken by semifinal points, then heat points, then % of winner’s scores in the finals, then semis, then heats.)
Note on Ties: We will not use the in-game tiebreakers for finish positions. In the heats, anyone tied for 1st gets credit for a win. In the semis and finals the points for tied positions will be divided evenly among the tied players.
Pace of Play: You are expected to check your games and take your turns (at least) once per day. It’s OK to have an occasional break of a couple of days, but we expect most games to finish in less than two months. Games that haven’t finished in 2 months are likely to be adjudicated, and the adjudication will include demoting slow players to lower finish positions.
Platform
Games will be played exclusively on the (awesome) app from Czech Games.

How Points are Awarded for Meeple League Featured Game Tournaments
How Do You Get Meeple League Points?
by Rob Kircher
New for 2020 – Revised points for tournaments. After looking at the results of the past 3 years, we have decided to make a small adjustments to how many points are awarded.
To determine player standings across events for each of the Meeple League’s featured games every year, points are awarded based on how well the players do. Here I will explain how the points are determined.
First by just playing in one game of a tournament you will get your first point. Next, if you win any game during the tournament you will get 3 more points. If your tournament has a semi or quarterfinal, just for playing in those rounds you will earn additional points. Lastly, if you get to play at the final table you will get more points for the place you finish in. Now, the number of points for playing in the quarter/semi/finals of a tournament will depend on the total number of different players entered into the tournament.
For example, let’s say that you play in a 37 player Ticket to Ride tournament and you finish 3rd overall and the tournament includes a semifinal round which you win. You would get 5 points for playing in the semi, plus 18 for finishing 3rd overall. Your total for the event would be 27. The other 4 points are coming from entering and winning a game during the tournament.
Meeple League Point Awards 2020
| Finish or | Number of Different Players | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Achievement | 8 - 16 | 17 - 32 | 33 - 64 | 65+ |
| 1st Overall | 15 | 25 | 30 | 35 |
| 2nd Overall | 10 | 18 | 24 | 30 |
| 3rd Overall | 7 | 14 | 18 | 22 |
| 4th Overall | 6 | 12 | 15 | 18 |
| 5th Overall* | 5 | 10 | 12 | 14 |
| 6th Overall* | 4 | 8 | 9 | 10 |
| In Semi Final | 0 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
| In Quarter Final | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 |
| Win any game | 3 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| Play a game | 1 | 1 | 1 | 1 |
* Only awarded if 5th and/or 6th player in final game.
Standings Tie-Breakers
First tie-breaker is number of events where the players made the final table.
The second tie-breaker is how many people each player placed above in tournaments where they made the final table. That would be calculated as the sum of each tournament size minus the finish at the final table. For example, finishing second in a 32-player tournament adds 30 to that total.
Points before 2020
Through 2019, live play points were distributed differently as shown below:
