Palatinus' OverPower Forum

I'm having trouble getting the house rules document from the blog to properly print.  It wants to print the sidebar with the mini versions of the pages, and only does page 1, and not even all of it.  Any suggestions?

Just FYI, the August Tournament will not feature BBH's (BigBadHarve) house rules. Those will only be used when BBH hosts (or something like that).

Here's a PDF of it: http://overpower.ca/uploads/tournament_guide_final.pdf

I'm sure BBH might've updated it, I last received his rules for the April meetup.

well, the reason i suggested it, is because assuming the 4 top seeds advance, 1 would play 2, and 3 would play 4.

usually, tournaments are seeded so you always have the possibility of a 1vs2 final

True, I guess nothing is really set in stone, BBH chose those seedings though.

I'm more than willing to go with [1v8]v[4v5] and [2v7]v[3x6].

I've seen it done all manner of ways. But set it how you like, it's your show Jack. We even had this chat, that high vs high is the standard, but I thought it might be interesting to shake it up.

Bottom line is that everyone knows going in what the format will be.

See you guys on Saturday!

WOO!

Then it is decided, I'll make the announcement to everyone before we start games.

And there's also 3rd and 4th place pairings too to determine the winner of the Adam Warlock promos if we manage to get 16+.

Thanks to Jack and Sean (and all others helping) for putting the tourney/meetup on.

It was fun getting to see these cards played again and the high level of interest people still have for it.

One thing that needs a figuring out is to decide the tie-break format to seed the top-8 if there's people with the same record in 9th place and beyond. That was one issue that came up and we'll work on that for the next tournament.

We'll also stop the practice of preventing playing partners from playing each other during the swiss rounds. We are only going to unmatch pairs of playing partners in the first round (which is random), but for the 2nd to 4th+ swiss rounds, we will match players up by the records to seed them into the elimination rounds.
