Tournaments in Yahtzee with Buddies

There are several different types of tournaments in Yahtzee with Buddies. Each has their own benefits that may appeal to you based on how many bonus rolls and how many players you will be competing again:  Here are the main tournaments

Fastplay Bronze: The cost to play a fastplay tournament is two (2) bonus rolls. Only 15 players are competing in the tournament. You are one of them but will be shuffled around depending on how long it takes you to move. This is why you see the "average score" to change after each turn you take. If you win, you get 13 bonus rolls and depending on the season 5 snowflakes.

Fasplay Silver: The entry fee is eight (8) bonus rolls. The win will get you 60 bonus rolls and 20 snowflakes.

Fastplay Gold: The final fastplay costs 15 bonus rolls. Winning this level gets 120 bonus rolls and 40 snowflakes.

*Note that you get a free scratcher after each tournament so that you get a chance to get more bonus rolls.  The top three finishers get a winner's prize.  Winning at least one time in any of the fastplay gets you a Fastplay winner icon based on what tournament you won.

The next type of tournament is the Daily Tournament is free (everyone and their mama) to enter one time.  You can enter more than once but then it costs an additional 20 bonus rolls.  Special offers are tied (sometimes) to winning a daily tournament. A custom dice may be offered (at this time, it was the snowman custom dice).  

The reward for winning is 100 - 200 bonus rolls and or XP.

There is the outright , winner's circle (top 10) and then the honorable mention (top 200).  The scores to get winners circle are very high (500+).  The winning score is usually 600+ and if something is offered as a prize other than bonus rolls (rare custom dice), then 700+.  Three or four yahtzees are required and many bonus rolls.

The grand daddy tournament is the premium tournament. This tournament offers as a prize between 1000 bonus to 1,800 bonus rolls and maybe a set of custom dice.  Price to enter: 30-100 bonus rolls. Beginners usually don't enter because they don't have enough bonus rolls to enter. There is usually a frenzy towards the end with high scores changing by the second.  All the motivated players playing their final scores hoping for that grand prize.

Each tournament lasts for 24 hours and ends about 8:45 p.m. pacific time.  The final move must be played within that time or whatever score you have will be your score for that tournament.  The results are final in about 10 minutes after it closes.  Once closed, an award waiting period is next.  About an hour before you can actually claim your prize if any.
