I'll set the deadline as tomorrow night at midnight for sign ups and then post the first match-ups on Friday. If we have an odd number, I'll give the player with the bye the option to play against me or take the 3 points with 0 LS differential. Looking at doing 6 rounds.

Well that's a good start...I'll give it a couple more days to give other people a chance to sign up.

I was thinking of starting with a standard tournament for the first one and then maybe we can try other variants (Type Half with best 2 of 3 perhaps?).

Is Children of Light banned in ROOT? If so I'm in. Otherwise I'm not trying to be on the hook to play a mini-game four times a month.

Hilarious yes but if Coney lost nationals like everyone was counting on no one would be complaining ;)
Title: Re: Sign up for 2017 RooT
Post by: Minister Polarius on August 09, 2017, 01:07:25 AM
I'd still be complaining. The problem with Kony is not the power level but the disposal of the battle phase we just spent three sets getting back.

Post by: Reth on August 09, 2017, 04:43:25 AM
For me starting not before September would be fine (otherwise I might not be able to participate the first rounds).

Regarding Kony: Maybe we need to differentiate: CoL vs. Kony?

Toss battles are epic.. who was running bowls? Who was running toss def? Who had more than one battle extender? Etc etc

Megaman  used foreign spearman on me for a solid block. I lost to him that game 4-5 probably because of that.

If you build it right, toss can be brutal in a Roman defense with foreign and Roman spearman.

Vittles is coneys worst nightmare for this exact reason.. almost infinite toss initiative AND a d9

Four roman spear men in a t2 deck was my idea to go against JD's mayhem/displeased deck. With humble soul it might be nasty

I think Red would agree, he and I both are having trouble getting our schedules to cross.

Actually, I just heard from someone that he will have to sit out the next couple weeks as something unexpected came up. We'll have you slide into his spot for now and just go from there.

No worries--the player I mentioned is Reth. He did not give me any details, only that he would be unavailable for the next couple weeks.

If you have a bye you don't play anyone that round but are granted a win.

Kevin is correct in his response above.
