The top 25% of all players who participate in each tournament instance will receive Tournament Reward points, rather than just the top 8 players.

Q: Who gets tournament reward points?

A: In 1v1, you receive 1 tournament reward point for each win in the tournament. The top 16 players are rewarded with additional points depending on how they placed. In GvG, your guild is rewarded 3 points for each win. The top 8 guilds are rewarded additional points depending on how they placed.
I have collected some data on this and it is not consistent with what is stated above.

From GvG:
Place / Number of guilds/ (win loss draw) / reward points gained /top ..%
8 / 19 / ( 1 3 0 ) / 3 / 42%
6 / 16 / ( 2 2 0 ) / 6 / 38%
11 / 25 / ( 2 2 0 ) / 6+13 / 44% <-- something wrong
7 / 32 / ( 3 2 0 ) / 9+15 / 22%

From HvH:
Place / Number of people / (win loss draw) / reward points gained /top ..%
12 / 64 / ( 4 2 0 ) / 4+18 / 19%
7 / 58 / ( 4 1 1 ) / 4+18 / 12%
9 / 54 / ( 4 2 0 ) / 4+17 / 17%
10 / 62 ( 4 2 0 ) / 4+18 / 16%
23 / 61 ( 3 3 0 ) / 3+12 / 38% <-- something wrong
5 / 58 / ( 5 1 0 ) / 5+18 / 9%

In both HvH and GvG tournament it happened that we got additional reward points when we were not in the top 25% of all players who participated.

I wondered if it had to do with the total number of guilds. In the GvG data, where we became the top 44% a total of 51 guilds participated divided over 2 pages. But when I calculated the points for all 51 guilds as one we still would have ended up somewhere around top 44%.

Also is it not clear what amount of reward points you get for a draw.
