Have You Achieved Mastery?
You first came to The Dojo to learn, to play. Maybe you spent time with the instructors in the training rooms, or started sparring with friends in the atrium after work. It was good. The Dojo watched you grow in mind and spirit, and this alone, was victory.

But now you want more. You want to be recognized as more than a play partner. You yearn for the title bestowed on only a few who have passed these doors: that of a The Dojo Master.

This highest rank can be earned in only one competition: the TK Invitational Series. All Followers Of The Way with a warrior spirit within them are invited to join this event, but few have ever survived it. The finest players with the finest decks have made their name here -- and another will make a name (or defend an honored title) this month, too. No quarter will be asked or given. It is simple: you must be the best.

You must be a Master.


Do These Tournaments Have Rules?
• Lackey and a voice app (Discord or Skype) are required to play.
• Rules/Banned cards in effect at the start of the tournament remain in effect throughout.
• You may NOT change your deck between rounds.
• Time limit for 1e games: 105 minutes. Time limit for 2e games: 75 minutes. Time limit for Tribbles games: 70 minutes.
• Late comers have until two days after the start date to join by sending the TD a direct message. The TD will not accept a late entry past that date.
• If 8 or more players register, the TD will expand the tournament to 4 rounds.
• If you need an extension, please send the TD a direct message. The TD will grant a TWO day extension. If you cannot get your game in by that time, you will receive a MISSED GAME. If you miss a second game, you will be DROPPED from the tournament. As a courtesy to others, if you cannot commit to making time to play the assigned games, please do not sign up for this tournament.

Oh crap. I couldn’t figure out what the title meant at 6 AM this morning and just realized that it’s HoF card pool. Guess I have some work to do…

You got 6 players registered, which is more than you've been pulling for a lot of Standard Dojo events, so the question would seem to answer itself.

Bad Branding.

Though I do appreciate you giving players more opportunities to play HoF as the 2024 nomination window draws closer... get those first balloters in before they get their gold jackets!

Not sure what you are talking about here, but I looked at all the 2E Dojo's for 2023. The number of players ranges from 7 to 13. There is only one Dojo that had les than that...it was 6 players and it was the HoF Dojo.

That to me says HoF Dojo has been getting less players than standard Dojo.

Really? Huh. I stand corrected then. I thought there were some 3 man Dojo gigs earlier this year.

EDIT: I swear I remember TK cancelling something this year so I went back and looked and turns out it was a 1e event. So yeah, nevermind. Go play Hall of Fame! It's Fun! :cheersL:

I'm already Overbooked on the 1e side with the Chair's Challenge, Online Masters, and Talos IV gigs coming up.

In fact the rest of the year is looking to be 1e for me after a 2e- filled summer for my online play.

Hopefully everybody has fun though! :cheersL:
