CATAN Seasons
There’s currently no active season running in the King of Catan-server. However, you can still play games and enjoy the community, as well as prepare yourself to become a Proven Competitor.
The CATAN seasons of King of Catan (also known as the “Base Game season”) typically last five weeks. You can play 4-player CATAN against other participants in the server whenever you want. You start each new season with 50 Playoff Points (PP) or a win you receive +4 PP and a loss results in -1 PP.
After these five weeks, the top players have qualified for the KoC CATAN Playoffs. Typically it looks something like this:
- #1 qualifies for the Finals
- #2 – 10 qualify for the Semi-Finals
- #11 – 22 qualify for the Quarter-Finals
The exact numbers change, to maintain the right balance between activity and skill, but the format stays the same.
The player who finishes first also directly qualifies to become a Base Game Proven Competitor.
These games can be played on CATAN Universe and on colonist.io and both count towards the same rankings. Only games hosted within the King of Catan-server count towards the rankings.
