Description
This is the local Star Wars Unlimited Store Showdown event at the New Horizon Mall.
It will be located on the 2nd floor (near Food Court) (main floor South end near the window).
This will be a formal constructed deck tournament for up to 32 players.
* Unfortunately, buying and selling is not permitted in the play area.
Depending on the number of participants, there will be up to 5 rounds (either 25 minutes for Best of 1 for 5 rounds or 55 minutes for Best of 3 for 4 rounds) with the final rounds to complete semi-final and final. Top 4 games will be Best of 3. Swiss qualifying games may be Best of 3 or Best of 1 depending on the total number of players -for example if there are 17-32 players resulting in 5 rounds to get to top 8, it will be Best of 1. With 16 or under, it can be best of 3. That will be decided in coming weeks depending on registration.
Please review the most current version of the Tournament document to determine rules expectations for ties and long games (as often occurs with Control mirrors). Preliminary matches are expected to be determined by damage to bases. when time runs out.
Each round will be a best of 3 games with ties ignored and 2 wins required - 3rd game not required after 2 wins.
Unless the new tournament pairing system is ready before then, the existing TEC will be used. It is important to keep in mind that the pairing system will determine the top 8 using it's algorithm for more than wins vs losses, but factoring who won/loss against who else to determine the ranking. Past experience has a substantial number who have similar win/loss records after the preliminary games and there will not be enough time for additional play-off rounds to determine those who are ranked 5 to 8. The top 4 will play off for single elimination rounds to get to finalists and championship.
Prizes (Shadow of the Galaxy Boosters) are:
1st place - 10 boosters
2nd place - 6 boosters
3rd/4th place - 2 boosters
5th-8th place - 1 booster
There are designated Showdown promo award cards (Unrefusable Offer) for top 8 with additional promo cards for top 4, top 2, and Champion and a specific number of Shadow of the Galaxy boosters depending on their final results.
All participants (including top 8) will receive the Showdown promo card (Lady Proxima) and either 1 Weekly Shadows of the Galaxy OP booster (or a Spark of Rebellion booster, depending on availability).
