Weekly Matches
The IsoDom: Challenge threads will be updated every week with match-ups, current point totals and the weekly theme. Each match will consist of seven games under the following restrictions:
1) Point counter encouraged
2) Exactly 6 cards, chosen at random, in each game must belong to the current week's expansion, using the excellent option to filter cards in Isotropic
3) First player position in first game shall be chosen randomly, losing player plays first afterward. In event of a tie, random. We will use the honor system to enforce this; to ensure a random placement make sure to exit and restart Isotropic before the first game and after subsequent ties.
4)The tournament will be scored as follows: each win will be worth 2 Tournament Points, each tie 1, each loss 0.
5) Players report the outcomes of each match, including scores of each game and optional commentary to the weekly tournament thread.
6) After seven weeks, the player in each group with the most Tournament Points will advance to the Bracket Championship. In the case of a tie between two players, a First to Four Wins match will be held to determine who advances. In the unlikely event that more than two players have a share in the lead, a Multiplayer First to Three Wins match will be held to determine who advances.
Bracket Championship:
The top four finishers, one from each group, will play a five game match to determine the winner of each bracket. These will be four player games scored 3-2-1-0. In the case of a tie in Match Points between two players who have the lead after five games, those two players will hold a two player match (first player to win four games), to determine the winner. In the unlikely case of a tie in Match Points between more than two players who have the lead after five games, those players will hold a multiplayer match (first player to win three games), to determine the winner.
IsoDom: Challenge Championship Final:
The winner of both brackets will play a first to five match to determine who is named IsoDom: Challenge Champion.
Drop-Outs:
Any Drop-outs will be treated as <i>unpersons</i>: none of their games will count, and any unplayed games will be replaced with a bye.
