====== European Grand Prix 2026 ======


The European Grand Prix (EGP) aims to connect diplomacy players across Europe and reward those players that excel throughout the year. The EGP combines the results of diplomacy tournaments in Europe as well as the Tour of Britain and Seven Year War league to determine the winner of the EGP circuit. 

Furthermore, we encourage all organisers that are part of the EGP to take measures to improve the wellbeing of players, such as the installment of a code of conduct, the appointment of wellbeing officer that assists the Tournament Director and the application of the following hierarchy of priorities:
  * Highest: The safety of attendees (and other people we may share the space with).
  * Second: The community of Diplomacy players.
  * Third: The fairness and competitiveness of the event.

====== Linear distribution of points ======
The principle of linear distribution is the following
if 100 point are distributed between 10 players
  - 1° = 100
  - 2° = 90
  - 3° = 80
  - 4° = 70
  - 5° = 60
  - 6° = 50
  - 7° = 40
  - 8° = 30
  - 9° = 20
  - 10° = 10
