There isn't any room in the current one unfortunately, but you're welcome to join the next one! I'm going to try to host them monthly just so you're aware. I won't always be able to offer such good prizes, but I'll try to provide SOMETHING to the winner (and second place when possible) each time.

I'm not an expert on board software, but there is a "Notify" button at the bottom of each thread near the Reply, Mark Unread, Send, Print buttons so maybe that's what you're looking for?

The Legendary limit was because this was intended to be a friendly tournament so we didn't want people that have just started playing to be at as much of a disadvantage to players who have accumulated lots of packs, gold, and/or dust. I don't think it's a restriction that we'll end up keeping, though, as there are plenty of good decks that use few to no legendaries anyway.

Update on me:
Friday: Got to hotel late. Internet was spotty, so the hotel rebooted the internet.  Couldn't connect until 12:30 AM
Saturday:  11 hour drive ahead of me as I make the final push for home.  I hope to have the teens home safely by 8 PM and I hope to be on around 9:30 PM after unpacking the car.

I apologize for holding this round up for everyone...I did not expect the internet connection to be poor or my time to be so limited this past week.

Redemption101 and I were able to play and I won 3 games to 1 game.

I appreciated his flexibility as I was traveling and on a Mission Trip this week.

Apologies for not checking up on this yesterday, I was hanging out with family that was visiting the area.

Bracket has been updated and new matchups are current.

Round 3 has begun! You have until 11:59pm CDT July 21st to complete your games and post your results.
-2 players have now been eliminated and 6 players remain. Play well!

NOTE: Due to the double elimination format, the winner of Drrek & The Marti's match will have 1 round off while the "losers" bracket determines its contribution to the Finals. Since only one "losers" game will take place during that round it may be a shorter one (a few days rather than a week) but I just wanted to give a heads up.

MKC and I had 5 great back and forth games.  Alas, he came out on top 3 - 2. Great games!

The above games have been scored on the Challonge site.

Also, as a correction to my previous note: Drrek will have a bye the next round even though he lost as the losers bracket needs to put someone in the semifinals before the finals. As such, Marti will actually have a TWO-round bye for round 3 and then the semifinals of the losers bracket. I'm hoping to get both of those rounds done in a week but I just wanted to make sure you guys had the correct information.

Round "4" will have 2 halves: 4A which will be losers round 3 (as labelled on the site), and 4B which will be the semifinals for the losers bracket. 4A will most likely have 4 days (as it will be weekdays) and 4B will have the remaining 3 days of the week since they'll have the weekend to coordinate. Obviously this is subject to change as rounds may end early.

My internet is down at my apartment unfortunately. There's a technician coming this afternoon to look into it so I'm hoping to be back online and available for mine and Westy's game tonight and if so then we can start Round 4A earlier than the 21st.

Confirmed. Great games all around, all 5 of which were so close that usually it was within 1 turn of the other player winning.

Round 4A has begun!
-Reminder, only MKC and Westy are playing Roung 4A. When they finish, the winner of that game will play Drrek in Round 4B, the losers bracket semifinals. Then that winner will face off with Marti in the 7-round Finals!

MKC won 1-3. Couple of really good games though.

Bracket updated.

Round 4B has begun! You have until 11:59pm CDT July 23rd to complete your games and post your results.

EDIT: Round 4B has been extended to July 23rd as I haven't heard back from either participant yet and I want to make sure they have time to finish.

Well then, I guess I didn't need to extend it. :P

Scores and bracket updated, the Finals are here! Drrek and Marti will face off (again) for the glory and prestige!

The Finals have begun! Since this is the last round I won't put a date limit, but please try to finish it sooner than later, I'd like to have a fresh tournament for August. :P
-Reminder, the final round is best of seven games as opposed to the best of five from previous rounds.

Good luck and play well!

But Drrek has to win 2 series of Bo7, right?

I'm not sure, I've never done a double elim tournament before. Does everyone have to lose twice to be out, including second place? If so, then yes they would need to play a second match of 7 if Drrek wins the first.

I believe that's how it works, because I wouldn't technically "be eliminated" after one loss.

Excellent point.

So this will be the first of possibly 2 sets of 7 and if Marti wins then that's the end, but if not then they'll play a second set. Not sure if the Challonge site will reflect that but we'll do it that way regardless.

Sorry for the incorrect information and thanks for the clarification everyone!

Challonge site is updated with the above results and it does have the second set for Drrek and Marti so it's all correct.

Good luck and play well!
