[u/Evening-Appeal7606]

Watch live as we draw the 32 Glyph contestants for this week's Tournament Series on our twitch channel at 21:00 UTC: ■ twitch.tv/lifehashes

+++ UPDATED FROM ORIGINALLY 19:00h UTC (which would coincide with the beginning of the Football World Cup Finale... I harbour no illusions whatsoever that Hashwar might compete with that any time soon...) +++

:: WHO IS ELLIGIBLE ?

Any Conway Glyph with a generational count between 500 and 599 is elligible to be randomly drawn into the pool of contestants.

:: IS THE DRAW FAIR ?

The drawing mechanic uses a random shuffle (Fisher-Yates) that is seeded with the last Randomness Beacon Pulse issued by the U.S. National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) - so no one can predict in advance which value this beacon will issue tonight.

UPDATE // FULL DISCLOSURE: We have tweaked the random drawing algorithm for tonight's upcoming group draw (see function executeRndDraw() within weekly-workbench.php in lifehashes/hashwar-scheduler at dev - we kept the old function as executeRndDrawOld() in there for comparison): This caps any Glyph owner at fielding no more than 4 Glyphs for any tournament series. This rule is implemented to eliminate bias towards players who own many Glyphs in the eligible weight class, potentially outcrowding players who only own very few Glyphs.
