Arright we’re running a little behind, but since I’m going camping for the next couple days, I’m posting round 3 matches today so people can get started on them as they like! GL HF everyone!
Side note: remember to tag me when your game ends, and feel free to check the challonge links for current standings of players and decks! I’ll start tallying deck + player wins after this next round is complete
Yes. As has been discussed previously, I’m not controlling super hard for only “test drives” for the “cars”; the players are in a round robin, the decks are in a round robin, and I’m pairing those combos up in a “dumb” (read: easy for me to administer) way. So the priority was (mis?)placed by me to have no decks play the same matchups (I could figure out how to do that via two Challonge auto-genned brackets), but could not come up with an easy way to stop player + deck repeats.
I got a repeat deck round 1 and 2, so did a couple other players, and you’re bound to get repeats as time goes on. If you have a better solution for next time and an easy way for it to get tracked and posted via a spreadsheet, I’m all ears for next time. For this tourney, though, this is what we’re doin.
Hey all, due to Taz going MIA and currently having to operate with a player on BYE, I’m going to attempt to slot the player that would otherwise be on BYE into Taz’s spot and hope that we get some more games for the group A decks and players. It’s going to require me moving to manual stat tracking, but I think hopefully I can make that work out. Please be patient with me as while I’ll be making my best effort, this is frought and liable to make mistakes (let’s never do a crazy format like this again eh? ^_^) It beats two players on bye each round though right?
Yep, that’s my plan. Those are two independent things, so Group A is going to get weird with their game counts (due to earlier byes, some players are going to have more games than others for awhile).
By the way, I promised a combined standings update! here it is:

Note that the .5s are due to issuing ties to the decks involved in Taz’s round 2 and 3 games, seemed the fairest thing to do.
I would be surprised to see anyone end things at 0%, given the semi-randomness of the matchups either you or your deck should end up in some favorable matchups over the course of all 7/8 rounds
If I end up with 0.0% on just my end, I’ll be frustrated for sure. I made a weird deck so I’ll only be a little surprised if no one manages to win with it
This seems really funny to me after that time we played a bunch of practice games, all of which I won, only for me to lose to you right away in the tournament.
I definitely go all out in tournaments and almost never play casual. It’s a different mindset, and for me, tournaments are much more fun and interesting.
Not to say I don’t enjoy a good ol’ casual match of whatever, but really challenging myself and others is how I glean the most enjoyment from these games.
I usually play casual games like something is on the line. I play casual games as a way to practice. Also because tournaments don’t give me enough matches to suit me.
