Interested in a casual round robin tournament?

[diplodoraptor]

So, there are a bunch of super-exciting tournaments being discussed right now and I’m bummed because I can’t commit to sitting down and playing for any particular 2-3-hour stretch.*

I want to run a casual tournament that caters to people like me. We could use a round robin format where you have a window (say a week) to play as many of the other participants as you can/want. We can set up the points system so that it rewards people who play more games, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t manage to play everyone else. And we can pick some arbitrary rule to stop people from playing the same metadecks that we all see on ladder and have feelings about. I suggest highlander, but it could be anything (e.g. budget/no spells/all-neutral etc.).

Reply or message me, or add me in game (Diplodoraptor) if you’re interested - if enough people are, we can talk specifics. I’d like to get something up and running by Sunday. And if there’s interest, it could be a weekly thing.

I’d like to participate! And i agree with your sentiments about tournaments, 2-3 hours is too much commitment for some people (like me)

This seems like a good idea, and one I am interested in, however, as someone who has had experience with long format tournaments in other games, they can be really long. Schedules sometimes don’t line up, people have other commitments, etc. I know that games of go are significantly longer than duelyst, but I have some ongoing tournaments from 2015, so if you are wanting to do this, then be prepared to stick around.

Haha! That doesn’t sound ideal. I was thinking limited-time: you have a week to complete your games; you’re awarded points for the ones you play (more for those you win, obviously!) So if someone signs up but doesn’t play, it doesn’t matter.

This is how the DPL runs

Count me In.

Im used to robin round tourneys in other games! <- This is blurred because slioghtly uneeded

I might do it for the sake of playing a tournament, but in general I enjoy sitting down for long periods of time and playing duelyst. (Losing a few rounds in makes it even more manageable ;))

[diplodoraptor]

Oh! Thanks​ for pointing that out. What I’m envisaging here is something much more casual/informal though, so I don’t think it would be duplicative.

I would recommend getting in touch with JuveyD, the head organiser of Duelyst tournaments. JuveyD#8648, that’s his ID on Discord. I would be down to partake, as long as there are rewards in it. I’ll take free orbs XD

[diplodoraptor]

Will do! Always on the look-out for more orbs.

In case y’all missed it, this is set up and will start on Monday morning (Eastern US). You need to join before then if you want on. Link to more recent thread: Casual Unscheduled Tournament - Highlander/EDH format - Free orbs
