Ascension (iOS) Gaming League (New Tourney starting Jan 14, 2013!)

I'm overloaded today with work (around 11pm here and taking a break to post this)

The definitive Gamer with a Job

Sounds great to me, I'm in.

I'm in as well.

Definitely in, and thanks for running this again!

The deck rotation sounds good, although agreed that we're all going to need some BIG FLASHING REMINDERS of which deck goes with which round.

I have to be in this time; I'm statistically due for a win (3rd first tourney, 2nd last tourney... the pattern is clear, and stats don't lie).

Okay I signed up this time as I'm actually around!

I'll leave signup open until the end of the weekend and we'll start on Monday.

Addressing concern on the alternating decks, I will emphasize the round's deck when I post the new round announcement as I have in the past.

That sounds awesome! Thanks for organizing this again, bigred.

Do you want me to sit out this time, Chumpy?

Hopefully I'm not too late, if not I'm in

Just make sure you add yourself to te sign up sheet and you're in!

19 people signed up currently. Great turnout so far!

I am a little burnt out on the random matches - you guys who I've had ongoing rematches with, that's why I didn't renew the invites after our latest games. I am still up for the tournament but taking a break otherwise until probably the next expansion.

Big red, just went to sign up but noticed you have 20. If that makes it awesome in terms of pairing up, I'll sit this one out (currently finding it hard to motivate on 'any' game TBH).

If you find the tourney needs 'an odd seed', or you get an 11th hour signup, then count me in...

Signup if you want to play. I'll worry about the rest!

Ok, I'm in.

Don't worry, we're 22 now

Almost missed the signup since I was on holiday with crappy Internet, would have been soooo pissed!

Can I sign up still? I'll go on the Google doc and fill in my info. My GC ID is ironcub14 as well. Hey Pacman! Haha

I'm going to close sign up sometime tonight but until I've removed the sign up sheet please continue to sign up!

In under the wire, hopefully! Glad I didn't miss out! (I sometimes only check in here every few days, and haven't been online at all the last few nights, with the final Wheel of Time novel having just been released.)

So if we can get one more signed up in the next hour that would be great. We have an odd number.

Since I was the last one in, I'll volunteer to drop out if we don't get another sign-up. (I thought I was #24 in, but now I see that row 1 of the spreadsheet is a header row, and the player list starts on row 2.)

Don't leave, we'll figure something out.

Signup is officially closed

I'll setup the tournament in chollange later today. Good luck to everyone!

It would be ill advised to beat me in this tournament!

A few notes:

Chollange has updated it's user interface since we last used it so please familiarize yourself with it. Scores no longer need to be reported. Simply choose the winner after your best of 3 match. Please do not choose a winner until someone has won two of the three games.

Since we have 24 people, the minimum amount of rounds is 5. Therefore, we need to decide on a round 5 deck. I'm open to a CoTG, RoTF, and SoS super deck but I fear some players may hate this. I'm open to suggestions.

Also, since we have 24 people, the top 50% (12) will qualify for the playoffs. The top 4 players will earn a round 1 bye in the playoffs.

Please post any questions and I will answer them. Good luck to all!

Also, please post when you send your challenge for my status tracking.

And we're off! GC invite off to demonbox/farktopia. (I would get matched in the first round with the guy who just gifted me a Rayman Jungle Run code, so I'll have to feel all guilty if I win. )

Just to be sure I've got it straight: each round we play 2 or 3 games (enough to determine best of 3) with the current opponent, using the appropriate deck. It looks like there's no reporting of numeric scores this time, so challenging player just records who won the best-of-3 for the round?

Also, "no ties" means that we accept the game's handling of tied scores (i.e., second player wins)?

Seems pretty straightforward, but want to avoid any surprises later.

Yep, all games this round use the CoTG deck. Use the in-game tiebreaker in the event of a tie. First player to win two games wins the match which is reported by choosing the winner. No need for scores. Winner gets 3 points in the standings, loser gets 0.
