The Tournament has begun! Good luck to everyone!

Here is the initial bracket, with randomly determined positioning
Rules / Directions
1. The player listed on the top of the pair should send the challenge, please make it for 14 days just so we make sure things end via play not time (although we certainly hope things can go quicker). This may necessitate sending a friend request first. I have listed people by their forum name in the bracket, but you can find their Gamecenter ID in the list below if they are not already in your friend list.
2. Players are free to select whichever race/deck they want and to change them between rounds.
3. Report results here and I will add them into the bracket, please report all results in bold so that they will be easier for me to spot.
4. I will PM people when their next match-up is set (and try to keep this thread updated).
5. Trash talking/discussion/analysis of ongoing matches here is encouraged!
I think that covers the bases for now, but if I am leaving anything out please remind me. If there are any questions, or anything is unclear, ask!

I'm in too.
5000brians/fivebrians
As long as I don't have to play Pacman I'm in ;-).
Hereafter / Thenafter
Should we pick races initially?
I'm in. Name is raptordinance.
One idea from official tournaments is a 4x4 or 5x5 tournament. Depending on how many rounds it will go, each player picks that many factions and chooses before the tournament starts what order they will play them in.
I'm in too.
I am in! Dysplastic.
One caveat is that I'm going on a camping trip between 15 and 22 September with absolutely no internet access, so won't be able to play any games. Apart from that I'll play as much as I can

Can I play in your stead? :-P. I'm in Alberta, we are practically neighbors!
I would join, but the wife is about to embark on a 3 week long work trip to Asia, taking the iPad with her, so I'll wait for the next one, rather than stall the event for 3 weeks or have to concede.

I'm sure the rest of the tournament participants would be absolutely thrilled with this arrangement
I'll jump in!
athros / athros
I'm in. thanks for the reminder.
correct!
I've never participated in any kind of gaming tournament, so sign me up! (I'm sure I'll be out in the first few rounds anyway )
Gamecentre name is my usual online nickname: Trachalio
I would be delighted to provide someone with a stepping stone to the second round. Sign me up! Gamercenter ID Is BoudreauxOO.
I wonder what happens if I change my Gamecenter ID? Do I lose all my friends? Does it automatically change my ID in their Gamecenter friends list?
Sounds awesome!
ForcefulCheese / fcheese
Ah hell, I played the tutorial last night, so my victory is assured!
n3croyeti is my Game Center ID.
Count me in! hubbinsd/hubbinsd
Is the assumption that we will play these games async? Or should we organize a time that we'll commit to play? I'm ok with either, but dedicated playtime can be hard to come by.

Almost all the games I've played with GWJers have been asynchronous. There were some occasional real-time games, but they were all happy accidents.
Please add me for the tournament ... robthomasson / rob thomasson.

I changed my Game Center ID and ... no you don't lose your friends and ... yes your friends see your new ID. So that's good then.
Well I finished the tutorial last night so I figure I'm good to go for a tournament. R5Chris is my game center ID.
Please add me for the tournament ... robthomasson / rob thomasson.

Congrats on winning the other SW btw

Thx. I got the luck I needed to boost my natural skill level. Meanwhile, congrats also to you for blasting through to the semis of the NH tourney over there at Pocket Tactics. Could be a tough match to get to the final though ...

So tough folks over there? I just started to play NH competitively last month.

My comment was based on seeing that you have to play TheDukester - or somebody that can beat him. TheDukester is an all round akilful player (SW excepted) who touts NH as his speciality. That said - best of luck to you!
