Playing MonoBlack
Less than a week to go!
I have sendt a message with deckselection, but I haven’t posted in this thread yet! ^^
Today is deadline day, right? I belatedly decided to enter yesterday (I’m sure I’ll get destroyed by nearly everyone, but thought the experience would be good), so I sent a PM to EricF - but I’ve had no acknowledgement of it and my name hasn’t appeared on the list of players above. I hope Eric’s just busy and that I haven’t missed the cut

Nope, you’re in. I’ll generate the first round pairings in about 20 hours, plus or minus. Others can still sign up through then, and even after then, pwr the late entrance rule in the original post.

As a reminder, any matches from Round 1 or Round 2 not completed by January 10, 2017 will be adjudicated before the Round 4 pairings are generated. This extended deadline is provided as a courtesy to those travelling / on vacation / otherwise busy during the Holiday season, so it is expected that some matches may run slowly or not start until the new year.

I really like the idea of a “featured” match @EricF , and am curious to know more details! What makes a match “featured”, and how is the weekly featured match settled on?

I’ll pick one based on arbitrary criteria like the previous / current success of the players involved, and if they had been previously Featured.
The intent is to give spectators a quick idea of which matches will be fun to follow.

Do you think you’d want to do write-ups on the matchup pre/postgame, or solicit further discussion / write-ups on the “featured” matchup from others? I think that might be a fun thing.
That or get some of our budding youtube content creators to “record” them post-game w/ commentary?

If anyone else wants to do commentary, recording, or other promotion, that would be great! I don’t have the time to manage or commit to providing detailed commentary, but if someone wants to set up a recording session, I’d be happy to make a phone call and provide input.

@PiHalbe are you available to start? I’ll be traveling on the weekend so I’d appreciate it if we could get some turn in before then.
Sorry, between holidays and a bizarre computer bug I haven’t actually started anything yet. I’ll fix that today.

Slow and steady wins the RACE. Or was it CAWS? I get confused sometimes.
