@PiHalbe are you available to start? Iā€™ll be traveling on the weekend so Iā€™d appreciate it if we could get some turn in before then.

24

Sorry, between holidays and a bizarre computer bug I havenā€™t actually started anything yet. Iā€™ll fix that today.

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

Does this mean matches need to be finished on or before Jan 9th or Jan 10th? Iā€™ve a round 2 match going slowly.

29

Iā€™m generating pairings on Wednesday morning Pacific time (about noon GMT). Matches that arenā€™t done by then will be given a result.

30

is there a way to quickly chek how many out the players have got? thnak u

31

@Shax we should really get going. Or have you already created the thread and I missed it?

32

Just thought I would take the opportunity to mention how much Iā€™m enjoying reading other peopleā€™s games in this tournament. The level of play is really high, and Iā€™m seeing a lot of variation in the strategies being used - lots of really good games going late with a lot of back and forth!

mdn1111 hasnā€™t responded or posted, so they are now officially dropped. Anyone paired against them has been given a BYE instead (and it does count as your normal tournament BYE).

@Mooseknuckles and @Shax havenā€™t started their Round 3 match yet - please message me before Wednesday with why that didnā€™t happen, or Iā€™ll just call it an adjudicated loss.

Iā€™ll post standings alongside the pairings starting in Round 4.

imo new decks MVP so far are:
@Castanietzsche 's [Bashing]/balance/growth and @FrozenStormā€™s [Blood]/Strength/Growth
they seem rlly interesting, and made me want to play them!
