Tournament Information:
Proposed Tournament
Match format:
Deck: COTG, RoTF, and SoS varying between rounds
Format: Best of 3
Timer: 3 Days
Match Tie-Breaker: In game (player with second turn)
Tournament Format:
Qualification Round: 4 matches in Swiss Tournament format (similar to previous tournament). Essentially, you will play a best of 3 match and then based on your results you will be paired the following round against someone with similar standings. Winners move to the top and losers fall to the bottom. A player will be awarded 3 points for winning a match and 0 for losing a match. There are no ties. There will also be no byes this tournament.
Round 1 Deck: CoTG
Round 2 Deck: SoS
Round 3 Deck: CoTG + RoTF
Round 4 Deck: SoS + RoTF
Playoff Round: Depending on the number of players signing up, the top 20-40% will qualify for a single elimination playoff with the same match format above (best of 3, etc, etc). I will ask for feedback on deck selection and decks for each playoff round will be determined.
What do people think? I'm overloaded today with work (around 11pm here and taking a break to post this) but will update OP and thread title tomorrow assuming everyone is ok with this.

I signed up. I'm still not too clear on the format though. Are you going to assign matchups, or do we just start playing other people on the list?
Unless we're playing for prizes there's probably no need to take screenshots for results verification. Word of mouth by both parties should be enough.
Just for clarification, and understanding that in the future we'll handle all commincation with opponents via PM:
I seem to be assigned to play Chumpy first. We have an ongoing game that's just barely started. We should finish this game, and PM to confirm that our next game will be the first one for this league, yes?
And are we using 7-day clocks? I think the game allows 3 and 7, but because it's a chess-style clock, neither exactly approximates one week. Fine with me, in any case. Bit of a rules lawyer/neurotic clarifier. Thankfully the game regulates its own play once we actually start.
I must added myself to the spreadsheet, too late for the first games I guess
Maybe write 7-day timer in the OP, then, in case there's someone else in the world as anal as me? (Pray not! )
Safari will lie to you. It will lie to you, and you'll be lucky to only double-post.
Me and the Troll, ready to roll!

The original post clearly explains how to start a match with an available player (and how to find an available player). Are you Justin F? Can you add your forum name and gamecenter id instead of your real name?
Also, I edited the sheet to show a red cell if you have an opponent, and a green cell if you're ready to play (your current opponent cell is empty)! For those of you going on vacation, just make sure your current opponent cell has something (anything) typed into it and you don't have to worry about getting preseason requests.
Yeah, I seem to forget how to read sometimes. I'll PM my opponent.
Blast!! Good game Athros. I knew there might be a problem when it said Completed on my game list when I there were still 8 stars on the board when I passed the turn.
On to game #2!!
ok, added myself to the spreadsheet as sirjoekcb's opponent (he had no ongoing game). PM sent.
Awesome, excited to hear the results.
It'll probably take a while since there's a 12 hour time zone difference between me and the M0nk3y Pr1nc3.
Honestly, I thought you had it in the bag with some of the cards you pulled. The last turn I was just trying to yank the last little bit out of the honor pool to try and keep you from destroying me.
I wish Ascension had a "Save this replay" feature. I would really like to be able to look the game back over, and see it played out again.
It was a great game TheWalt! On to the next!
i just signed up if anyone is looking for a game
Just thought I'd chime in that while I'm not participating at the moment it's due only to my time differences with just about everyone making it unlikely games will finish before my imminent "vacation". I'll be looking forward to a gwj tourney at some point.
K. Let's see how this goes.
I'm in.
I'd agree that a tournament is a good trial format with a season later on perhaps once we see how many people stick around.
I think I'd prefer Periodic tournaments to leagues; I think they're easier for folks to commit to since they are so finite. The breaks between them would make people fresher and more enthusiastic for the next one.
Opponents have been assigned! Start reaching out to your opponent via PM!
There was an odd number of people so whoever signs up next can follow the game initiation process and play me!
Next time please allow at least 24 hours before assigning opponents. For those of us who work and can't come to the forum that's a little bit of a crazy short window.
I'd suggest that any time one plans an event, one announce how long the signup window is. We will have this stuff down cold by the time we do the first GWJ tourney!
I'm still a little confused. I don't see you on the preseason sheet. There's two tabs on the spreadsheet link. Players provides information on who has the game and what decks. The preseason sheet is where you can signup and start playing people.
Yep, 3G connection gave out while editing. Sorry for mucking up the formatting, by the way, I didn't get any formatting controls on iOS.
Great game TheWalt! You smashed me pretty hard. I regret banishing the card in the middle, allowing you to snag personal wormhole and Everbloom!
Great game!
