Greetings All! And Happy New Year!

There's an article coming soon with more details, but I wanted to get it out here first that there's an event in the system that may interest you:

"PAQ Era: 1996" Event. Only cards from Premiere, Alternate Universe, Q Continuum, Introductory 2 Player Game, and 1st Anthology are permitted.

Additionally, this will be the debut event for the "1E PURE" Format. You get EXACTLY 60 cards to build your deck INCLUDING MISSIONS. Max 30 Seed Cards, Minimum 30 Draw Cards. Contents of Side Decks (Q Tent and Q Flash) do NOT count toward 60 card limit (though the seeded doorways for the side decks do).

Lackey and an agreed upon form of communication (generally Skype) required.

To qualify for deckbuilding achievements, put 6 missions in the "Missions" section of the deckbuilder, then put the same 6 missions in your seed deck along with your other seed cards. The Deckbuilder will show 6 extra cards from what you\'re actually playing, but it will work with the achievement algorithms.

The goal is to kick off on Friday, January 10th, just over a week from today. I know it's short notice, but I'm hoping at least two other brave souls are up for joining me in this wild experiment and if nothing else, having a good time with some old school crazy!

Let's kick off 2020 with some retro-tastic fun!

Wow we got 8 registered already! This is shaping up to be awesome!

If anyone else wants to join we can add a 4th round no problem, so if you think this will appeal to you, go ahead and sign up!

Also, if there's an odd number of people, I'll step aside so there's no bye and everybody gets all their games in.

Correct. So you get 6 missions and up to 24 other seeds.

Unfortunately we had a last minute drop, so we're running with 7 instead of 8. If anyone would like to jump in, please PM me this weekend.

EDIT: Jesse is Back in! Welcome to your first online Tournament!

Round 1 Pairings:

Mark Napier (Squircifer) vs. Niall Matthew (Sexecutioner)

Jason Tang (Pants o.t. Tal Shiar) vs. Austin Chandler (DarkSabre)

Bruce Parrish (Captain Parrish) vs. Maggie Geppert (JadziaDax8)

Matthew P. (FlyinHawaiian) vs. Jesse Kasten (Spotter77)

Please try to have your first round result posted by next SATURDAY (1/18/2020). If I get all results in before then I'll go ahead and post the Round 2 Pairings early.

Good luck, Everyone! :cheersL:

Also, I'm setting the over/under for the number of double deck out games for this tournament at 4.5.

Any takers for either side of that one? :wink:

Due to some scheduling conflicts the remaining 2 games have been given an extension until Tuesday. I will announce Round 2 pairings as soon as practicable.

Here's the Round 2 pairings:

Jason Tang (Pants o.t. Tal Shiar) vs. Matthew P (FlyinHawaiian)

Bruce Parrish (Captain Parrish) vs. Austin Chandler (DarkSabre)

Maggie Geppert (JadziaDax8) vs. Jesse Kasten (Spotter77)

Niall and Mark: if you still want to participate, you can play each other and we'll call it a round 2 game, then I'll pair you with other people for Round 3.

If at all possible, let's try to get back on track and get these games in by this Saturday (1/25/2020). I can give extensions if needed (and likely will, given the circumstances, just let me know).

Good luck, everyone! :cheersL:

I received word that Jason and Matthew are scheduled to play Sunday night and have granted them an extension until then.

I'll post round 3 pairings as soon as I see the result of that game come in.

We had a couple of upsets in Round 2 so it's almost anybody's tournament to win!

Here's your round 3 pairings:

Matthew P (flyinhawaiian) vs. Maggie Geppert (Jadziadax8)

Jason Tang (Pants o.t. Tal Shiar) vs. Bruce Parrish (Captain Parrish)

Austin Chandler (Darksabre) vs. Jesse Kasten (spotter77)

Niall Matthew (Sexecutioner) vs. Mark Napier (Squircifer)

With the next tournament starting Saturday (2/1/2020) I'd appreciate it if everyone can get their results in by then, but I can flex for a couple days as needed. I really appreciate everyone communicating as well as they have to keep things moving.

Good luck in the last round, everyone! :cheersL:
