What is a tournament?
A Certain Number of games played with the Same Deck against a Specific Group of Players over a Pre-Specified Time.
This covers one day events as well as month long Online Events.
What goes into planning a Tournament?
There are a few steps to the process of creating a tournament in the Trek CC system.
1) select the starting date and time.
2) select the Edition: First, Second, or Tribbles.
We are in 1E , so select First.
3) select the Format: Constructed, Draft, or Sealed.
Constructed is the format where everyone makes their deck ahead of time. Draft is the format where the first part of the tourney is opening up surprises and building a deck from that. Sealed is the format where you play a deck already made for you as is.
4) select the Card Pool: Block, Complete, Limited, Traditional, Virtual.
Block is a series of groups of themed sets; there are blocks for The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Enterprise, The Mirror Universe, and The Original Series. Plus one "Things That Came Before Block" Block titled Life From Lifelessness. Block is a fun Constructed or Sealed card pool. Most of the Factions and Affiliations have premade starter decks. Complete is literally all the cards from all the expansions. Limited is a card pool created by you, the tournament director. It could be as simple as "Cards with The Next Generation Property Logo" or "Everything But Holodeck Adventures, We Hate That Set," or it can get as complicated as you wish to make it. Traditional is "Just the Cards Decipher Made." Virtual is "Just the Cards the Continuing Committee Made."
5) select the Rules Set: Open, Official, Revised, Warp Speed, or X-List. Open is the rules as Decipher left them after moving on to 2E, you can find information on it here. Official is also known as Official Tournament Format (I know, it isn't a format, silly name) and is the rules set the CC has created, you can find information on it here. Revised was one of the earlier attempts to fix the Mess Decipher Made, you can find information on it here. Warp Speed is a quick play rule set initially included in the Voyager rulebook, you can find information on it here. X-List is also known as Standard, and was another early attempt to fix the Mess Decipher Made, you can find information on it here.
