Salmon Run tournaments using Tournament Manager are held using Regular Jobs and Big Runs. Participants compete for the top score during the tournament, which is calculated using the number of Golden Eggs collected and scales acquired during each shift.
The scores for each shift are calculated using the following formula.
Score = Golden Eggs collected + Scale points
Points for acquired scales are counted as follows.
In the event of a tie, rankings will be determined in the following order.
Most Golden Eggs collected > Most Power Eggs collected > Overall speed > Entry number
There are three ways the total score may be calculated. The director sets one of these when creating the tournament.
Compete for the top total score by participating in the number of shifts specified by the tournament director.
All shifts, both wins and losses, are included in the calculation.
The total score will be calculated from all shifts you participated in within the time limit.
Only cleared shifts will be included in the calculation. However, shifts can still be considered cleared even if players fail to defeat a King Salmonid.
Under top score, players will compete for the highest total among Golden Eggs collected and scale points acquired during shifts that were completed during the time limit.
When creating a tournament, the director can set how many of the top scores will be included in the total separately for both number of Golden Eggs collected and scale points acquired.
Only cleared shifts will be included in the calculation. However, shifts can be considered cleared even if players fail to defeat a King Salmonid.
If you're defeated in a shift, you'll lose some points based on the wave in which you lost.
Example: If set to calculate the top two shifts for number of Golden Eggs collected and single top shift for scale points.
For the shift results shown below (labeled A-E), the total score would be calculated as 140 + 123 + 23 - 30 - 5 = 251p.
Shifts B and D are included in the calculation for Golden Eggs collected, and shift E is included for scale points.
In Salmon Run tournaments using Tournament Manager, players are split into divisions based on team size and must compete for the highest team score in their division.
There are four divisions—Solo, Pair, Trio, and Team—and the director selects which divisions will be held. It is possible to hold multiple divisions simultaneously in a single tournament. Divisions with fewer than two teams entered will be canceled.
If You Enter in the Solo, Pair, or Trio Divisions
In Salmon Run tournaments, players compete for the top score by completing shifts within a set time limit. The tournament director selects one of the following for the tournament schedule.
Note: There is a 15-minute interval between preliminary and final rounds to allow for calculation.
For schedules that include preliminaries, two rounds will be held—preliminaries and finals.
In the finals round, participants will be split into several groups based on the results of the preliminaries and compete for rankings within the same group. The tournament director can set how many teams will be in each group.
Tournament results will be published 10 minutes after the round ends.
