Welcome to the home of the
Redemption Online Official Tournament (ROOT)!
All are welcome to join regardless of experience and ability. If you are a master, then this is the place to play the other top players from around the country to keep your skills sharp before the big tournaments of summer. If you are an average player, then this is the place to play against a variety of different decks as an opportunity for you to see all the many strategies that are available in this great game. If you are a beginner, then this is a place for you to learn how to play the game with people who are friendly and willing to teach you.
Online Redemption will now be its own RNRS category! (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/redemption_tournament_2013_online.php) Yes, you read that right. The top 3 players at the end of each tournament (approximately monthly) will now receive RNRS points (10,5,and 3 respectively). These will accumulate throughout the year, and there will be an overall online champion awarded at the end of the Redemption calendar year during the National tournament.
So how do you get started? First you'll need to download the free program for playing Redemption online. It is quick and easy and is all explained here. (http://www.cactusgamedesign.com/message_boards/index.php?topic=12218.msg185302#msg185302) Next it is recommended that you download the free program called Hamachi which makes it easier to connect to people. It is even quicker and easier, and can be found here. (https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp) Then you are ready to join the tournament. Simply reply to this thread and tell us that you want in. Join any networks that you choose and start playing.
Let's give a big "Thank you!" to Rob Anderson and Cactus Game Design! Without them we wouldn't have this great game, and it is with their support that ROOT is possible. Management of the tournament is currently being done by Soul Seeker, BrianGabe, and myself, so if you have any questions, feel free to PM us.
