Greetings everyone!
This thread launches the Summer 2016 Block Party: a series of online 1E tournaments focusing on Block play. Last summer these tournaments were successful and I hope to recreate that success this summer. In order to get as many events in during the summer time as we can, the first event begins Monday, June 20th, The FIRST DAY OF SUMMER! All events are set up for three rounds; however, if 8 or more players sign up the round count with be increased to 4.
Standard info plug:
LackeyCCG and Skype are required to play.
Decks may NOT change between rounds.
2 1/2 hour time limit per game.
If 8 or more players pre-register, I'll expand the tournament to 4 rounds.
TD will participate in the tournament only to make and even number of rounds.
Reporting of the events will occur in this thread, so please post results here.
Currently there are 2 events scheduled. I wanted community feedback on what other format variations on Block they would like to see. Last summer we completed a Block@Warp Speed event that used Block cards to construct a wrap speed legal deck. Rules were modified to accommodate the format and the reviews on the event were mostly positive. There have also been Block in the OPEN tournaments that adjust block from OTF to OPEN. Needless to say, there are other ways to play block that may be fun to incorporate into the Summer 2016 Block Party, but I want to hear from you what you would like to see. So let me know!
