<snicker> Something tells me they might not go for that, (just a hunch), but I'll broach the subject and see what they say!

BBH will need to edit the topic but we're going to be playing at Dueling Grounds: 1193 Bloor St West, Toronto (corner of Bloor St W and Brock St).

Entry fee is $10, payable in person or through Paypal.

Prize structure is:
With about 12 people:
First place: Ra's Al Ghul Holo Character
Second place: Set of Assault On Onslaught Missions

With about 16 people:
First place: Ra's Al Ghul Holo Character
Second place: Set of Assault On Onslaught Missions and Events
Third place: TBD

With 20+ people:
Same as Third place but with a Fourth place prize, also TBD.

Same format that BBH posted, so 4 rounds of Swiss with the top 8 going into the knockout round. Don't know about knockout round seeding yet, be it randomized or 1-8/2-7/3-6/4-5.

based on the "last tournament" results can we pick teams this time? For those who played in Decipher's LotR system this was a popular way for players who didn't get to go to the major events to participate and cheer on their favorites in the tournament. Each online participant was alloted a certian number of "points" to spend (say 25).  Players participating in the tourament were worth a pre-set number of points 0-25. (0 for non ranked players who were unlisted up to 20 points for the reigning world champ).  You were required to have at least two people on your team but not more than 4 (or some similar limitation). Each time your team mate won/advanced they gained you points. the online participant with the most points won!

At this point this may be a bit complicated (as one tournament may not be enough to "rank" the players that previously participated) but I think it would allow a more diverse selection of players being chosen across the board and even if one gets knocked out another player on your team could go advance enough to make up for it in points.

What do you think?

That's BBH's realm. He's doing the offline winner pool.

EDIT:
Included with the entry gift (thanks to Bios):


Not a legit card, but a print out on photo paper and you can use one in your decks. One printout per person. Exclusive to the OP meetup in August!

Bump!

There's only 25 days left until the tournament, please contact me to let me know you're coming!

3rd and 4th place prizes will be a choice of Adam Warlock Promo cards. 3rd place winner choose which promo card they want (and possibly/likely additional cards), 4th place gets the remaining toy.

Allowable Proxies: MARVELS and any officially released card. All proxies must be a reasonable facsimile of the actual card with clear and legible text.

Does this mean that proxies are allowed now?

I don't have to spend 40$ on an A-Next?   

Correct, all proxies are allowed provided you follow the above (or ask me to make one for you).

Bump. Updated the information, BBH, please update the first post with the info.

I should be there for sure, I just have to figure out how I'm getting up there.

can i make a suggestion for playoff seeding?

winner of 1-8 plays the winner of 4-5

winner of 2-7 plays winner of 3-6

alternatively, you could have the top seed play the lowest seed to advance to each round.

Seeding an elimination tournament is always the tricky part.. the seeding was all BBH's idea. I wanted to do re-seeding for the round-of-4.
