How to score leaderboard points
Participate in pre-season league tournaments
Join scheduled league tournaments designed to test a novel round robin format. Each of these tournaments will be hosted on our web-based Events Hub and will require a code to enter. Join our Discord and follow us on twitter to get these codes and more info. Your total score in each event will count towards your total leaderboard score.
Earn XP
Once we have enough players, you can start unlocking and levelling up all the players characters in the game’s Contender Mode. Each XP you earn in Contender Mode will count towards the leaderboard. Learn more about Contender Mode and how to play.
Stream games
Spread awareness of the game and help yourself in the process. Earn points from streams where you play either Contender Mode games or participate in league events. You will earn 0.5 point per view and can earn a maximum of 500 leaderboard points total across all sessions from streaming. If you are a streamer with significant following please contact us regarding paid creator partnerships.
Collect your points by e-mailing proof of views (link to twitch clip for example) to stream@aftermathplay.com along with your Hands of Victory username.
League Q&A
Please participate in this league in good faith. We’re a small studio with limited resources trying to invest in players and content creators rather than paying Facebook. We will 100% mess things up along the way.
SO WHAT'S THE FIRST RULE?
First rule is that all rules can be tweaked AT ANY TIME. We’re doing this to test things and make the game better. Issues with balancing, exploits or rules that were dumb from start will be fixed and come into effect on the fly.
WHAT'S THE LEAGUE EVENT FORMAT?
Each Pre-season league tournament uses a Round Robin format. Each player plays 3 rounds. Each round consists of playing 4-player St & Go and each Sit & Go is scored. In the event of odd participation numbers, the last game will be filled up by top scorers after the first 3 rounds. All points earned will count towards the overall league leaderboard.
HOW DO I PARTICIPATE?
First signup for the league on our Event Hub.
Then download the game from Appstore or Google Play. Follow links or search for Skill Poker: Hands of Victory. Then follow these instructions.
WHEN IS THE FIRST LEAGUE EVENT?
The first league event codes will be distributed as soon as enough players have joined our Discord. Once we get going you will find the league schedule by logging into the Event Hub. We will announce events on Discord and on Twitter. Grind Mode is open 24/7 but we estimate that it will take a bit longer for those games to kick off.
