At some point it becomes viable to have a two-section (open/reserve) tournament. Even if space wasn't an issue it would allow for lower levels to play games in a competition environment without having to get crushed every time. The system is commonly done in chess, scrabble, etc.

Good point, an A tournament and B tournament is pretty common in big chess tournaments I believe. It would kinda suck to have 56 registrants and only 28 of them got to play?

Currently level 30? so probably in the B tourney.  MMM, if you would need help running a B bracket, I'd be willing to help out.

As a side note, I am only level 16 fluctuating on isotropic and well that may be because i rarely play games on there except when these tourneys come up and sometimes against my girlfriend when its a hassle to set up the actual game.

Now that said I still think that the A/B division would probably put me in B league, but if its all the same I personally would prefer to be in the A league as I would rather get smashed against someone far better than have an close match against someone closer to my skill. You learn more about how to play the game at a high level when you play against someone much better than you. I have found this to be true of all games, board or video. When you play against someone better than you it forces you to adapt.

Thusly I am opposed to the A/B division. I am not opposed to divisions if they help more people play, I just think that skill division is terrible.

I don't want to be a party pooper, so let me first thank MMM for all the effort he's gone to in running these tournaments.

Having said that, are you *sure* that you want total score to be a tiebreaker, with the encouragement of running up the score? Not only does that give huge swings solely based on what Kingdom cards you play with, but it also creates the potential for insanely long games. Anyone playing a board with any sort of Village, Goons, and Watchtower is going to have to sit through running out the Copper, Silver, and Gold piles.

The problem is, good players prefer playing other good players rather than smashing newbies, too. Everyone wants to play against the strong players.

I also want to chime in to say that I'm against the score tiebreaker; it stops people from resigning, it encourages running up the score, and it even promotes collusion :/

OP Edit:


The final match will take place between the winners of each division, chosen with the following criteria:

1) Highest Tournament Point total
2) In the case of a tie, a best of seven match will be held to decide who will advance.
