Title: New One Day Cup on February 16!
Post by: zxcvbn2 on January 30, 2013, 11:47:42 am
After a long break from posting in the forum, I've decided (after disappointedly missing the DS.com Championships) to make my own tournament! With Blackjack! And Hookers! And Overused Memes!

But seriously, how about another One Day Cup? Same set up as last time, here's a copy-paste of the rules, with changes in bold:

 
Quote
Pool play, with players split up into seeded pools of 3-6 players. After all players check in at the appropriate time that day (15 minutes early, please), I'll release the pools and the schedule. Players will play each other member of their pool in a best-of-five match. After pool play, either the winner or the top two (decided the day of the tournament) in each pool will move on to single-elimination best-of-seven quarterfinals.

Some other rules:
Unless otherwise agreed to:
Point tracker: ON (By popular demand. ed.)
Veto mode: OFF
Same starting hands: OFF

Tiebreaker rules:
1. Head to Head
2. Least individual games lost between tied opponents
3. Least individual games lost between all opponents
4. Coin flip

If you'd like to join the tournament, just make a comment saying "In" or something like that and I'll add you. Any questions or comments on any of the format and rules are encouraged.  I think that's it. If anything seems missing, let me know. Otherwise, see you in a couple weeks! :)

Tournament will start at 10:00 AM Eastern US (GMT -5)

Good luck!

You might want to redo the title.  I thought for the longest time that 2/16 meant 2/16 spots filled, not "The tournament is on February 16"

I mean, I still plan on doing this, even if we only have enough for one pool of round robin play. Hopefully some there will be some last-minute signups.

For me it really depends. I'd like to join, but can only sign-up in last-minute.

So right now, barring any last-minute entries or dropouts, we are at 4-6 players. So that means, if nothing changes, everyone will play each other, with the top two playing a best-of-seven for the tournament.

I'll see you guys in the Secret Chamber tomorrow! :)

Nice games.

Just some comments on the various games.
1. Not sure what I was thinking with the Noble Brigands, and that made the difference.
2. I had an early chance at a Forge and I bought Gold instead.  I think that was a mistake.  Also, not going for MBs was big I think.
3. I was pleased with how the Harvest-Tribute-Salvager thing worked out.  Way better than I thought.
4. A close game that came down to the last buy.  His Courtyard Venture for the win.
