Title: Standard tournament
Post by: Taysby on August 03, 2013, 11:13:51 PM
Standard tournament.

You will be playing best 2 out of 3.  I will be assigning ordering and starting the games on wall games.  You can Skype your games if you want.

There will be 4 rounds.  The first round will be randomized matches, and subsequent matches, you will be paired up randomly against people at your same record.  If after 4 rounds there is a tie, there will be one tie breaker round.

PRIZE POOL.  3 people need to report what they are putting in.
1st. Foil {glissa, the traitor}.  {temporal extortion}. {grave Titan}. {path to exile}. {nicol bolas planeswalker}. {Gideon, champion of justice}. {hellkite tyrant}. {life from the loam}
2nd. {life from the loam}.  {geralf's messenger}. {savageborn hydra}. {lightning helix}. {deadbridge chant}. {isochron scepter}. {fathom Mage}
3rd. 2 {flicker wisp}. {augur of bolas}. {tidebinder Mage}. {rise of the dark realms}. {scourge of balkas}. {sylvan primordial}

Crackalaka is ot puting anything in because he lives in England and it would not be economical to send 3 envelopes to the U.S. so he will not receive any prizes

SCORING.  More points is good.  If you win 2-0 you get two points.  If you win 2-1 you get 1.8 points to represent you lost one.  If you lose 1-2 you get one point.  If you lose 0-2 you get 0 points.  If you get a bye or your opponent drops, you get 1.9 points to represent you didn't play someone.  The bye then gets assigned, then 1st get paired against 2nd. etc

Competitors
1. Taysby
2. Mlerner
3. Crackalaka
4. Slenderbro. DROPPED. His prizes will be taken out.  He didn't play any games, which is why his prizes will be taken out.  If anyone else drops, their prizes will be left in.
5. Mattao19
6. Millionlittleee
7. Agrus Kos
8. Austinist

Standings
Round one
Mattao vs taysby. 1-2
Millionlittlee vs austinist. 2-0
Mlerner vs crackalaka. 0-2
Agrus kos 2-0

1st Millionlittlee

Round two
Taysby. BY. 2-0
Crackalaka vs millionlittlee. 0-2 (he said it was his fault and wanted million to have the win, so I obliged)
Mlerner vs austinist. 0-2
Agrus kos vs mattao.  2-1

Standings
1st  Millionlittlee  3.9
2nd Agrus Kos    3.7
2nd Taysby         3.7
4th  Crackalaka   2
4th  Mattao          2
4th  Austinist        2
7th  Mlerner         0


The bye was assigned randomly using a d6.  Once you get a bye, you don't get another.

Ok. Gives me options. Boros? Or selesnya? Or maybe Izzet. Oh I know, how about Rakdos. No no no, most played deck right now is Jund, better throw one of those together.

Agrus Kos Vs Taysby
Crackalaka Vs Mattao
Austinist Vs Mlerner

Im not going to make threads this time.  Just do it yourself.
Yeah. We were paired together last round.  I don't know if that's just how the cookie crumbles and we have to play each other, or what. It's just that I don't know if it will mess up the tourney for us to play each other twice.
