Brackets
,no edit summary
{{Infobox portals}}A '''Bracket ''' is a block of players whose scores are competing against each other in a [[PvP ]] event. It divides players into, effectively, separate [[events]], each with their own [[Rewards]] tiers. The player blocks are of a size that matches the Rewards structure, and Rewards are the main reason it is necessary.
Event Brackets usually have 3000 brackets are generally sized at no larger than 3,000 players in them, and sometimes smaller.
When the last bracket is full and another player joins the event, a new bracket is formed with that player in it. Any player joining the event after that is placed into the new bracket. Sometimes a new Bracket bracket is formed very close to the end of an event. In this case it is possible to get high Ranking Rewards without playing the entire event, sometimes without even playing a single fight in the event. This is usually referred to as "Bracket Sniping" and carries significant risk, as it is extremely difficult to meet Progression Rewards , and it is very requires luck based if you to get into the top of a new Bracket or rather than the bottom of an old Bracket. Sniping became popular, and had its greatest utility, in the [[Quick Battle]] event, where the rewards were great, but many battles would be required to gain rewards, without sniping. {{Game concepts}}[[Category:Game mechanics]]
