When I said I wanted upgrade removal, this is not what I meant 
but hey not going to complain about my first Blue starter 
I don’t think I ever went Blue vs Blue. This is going to be fun 
bansa won out, so we’re down to the final two!
Round 8
If you want to dispute a matchup’s balance, now is the time…

Same, seems reasonable to me. So I haven’t checked the matchup sheet, this is triple match point @charnel_mouse?
GL HF @bansa!

Yep, you have to beat bansa three times in a row to stand victorious.

So I get like 9 to 1 odds? Worse since I’m going second in two of them? I would not bet on that XD
15-8 at 65%. Hmm. Random decks are limiting aggressive decks and optimal early turns but results are still pretty P1 favored.
7 to 1, much more doable
And with that, we have a winner, with bansa making a perfect run. Congratulations, it was well-earned!
Thanks for playing, everyone. I know a few of the generated matchups were wonky, but hopefully you all had a good time.

Great tourney @charnel_mouse, this was a fun idea and it went really well IMO.
We’ll have to get the summer tourney thread up soon, I’m happy to run it if no one else wants to but I say hats off to charnel on his first tourney admin!

It was nice not having to pick the deck.

It was full of super interesting and reasonably balanced matches that introduced another way to enjoy Codex. Thanks @charnel_mouse for your hard work and efforts in preparing and running the tourney. Thanks everyone for participating. I hope we see more turnout next time.

Anyone wanting to run the summer tourney? We usually just do standard swiss and try hard decks so shouldn’t be too much to manage, I’m happy to do it if no one else volunteers but I am starting a new job tomorrow and want to make showing up at my best there a priority, so I may have to backburner posting new pairings here and there

Wow exciting news. Good luck in your new job! I feel like it gets harder to switch and try new as we get older. I’m kinda stuck where I am. I want to help but me running a tourney sounds like a bad idea so maybe as a last resort.
I can do it in a pinch. My swiss pairings script needs some work, though, I had to manually tweak a few rounds.

As a beginner, should I try to use it as well, or do you recommend something else to understand the mechanics? I can see from the posts that people are delighted

Welcome Obi2! I’m not sure what you’re referring to using, could you clarify?
Charnel is talking about a script to generate swiss pairs as a Tournament Organizer, which I’m guessing you aren’t needing, but perhaps I am mistaken?
If you’re looking for where to sign up for the next tourney (which is a great way to get a hang of forum games and we’d love to have you!), that’s actually in the CAMS 21 thread
