ManaGrind is proud to present the return of Swiss Format play!
EU: Friday January 3rd 2014 7pm(CET)
NA: Friday January 3rd 2014 8pm(EST)
The Swiss format is the gold standard of most TCG's and we are glad to bring it back to the Hearthstone community after countless feedback from the survey. We at ManaGrind feel that Swiss tournaments will allow players to get more matches per tournament and have a greater experience overall for differing levels of competitive play. Please make sure to read all rules.
Specific Changes from other format.
1. All players must be on our TS3 for this tournament. (TS3 info: ManaGrind.com) You do not need to have a microphone, just need to listen for instructions.
2. There is no sideboard, deck swapping, class swapping. What you bring is what you play!
3. Each preliminary round is BO1. Once the top 8(less then 58 players) or top 16(58 or more players) are determined, those players will play against just each other in a BO3 rounds till the finals.Finals are BO5. Please note that losing one round does not mean that is it. In Swiss you will get 5 or more rounds of play. It is possible to lose one round and still win the tournament.
4. Top 8 or top 16 are required to submit a screen shot of their decks to the Tournament Admin.
Never say never. We at ManaGrind are always looking for new ways of bringing competitive game play to the community. We could see another day of swiss in the future, perhaps even a No epic, no legendary swiss tourney. Only time will tell but the more support we get for this swiss the better the chances we will get more of them. So make sure to spread the word where ever you go.

Hey Whale, I was that rogue you demolished ;). I just could not get anything going and didnt take out your draw engine quick enough. Great game and I do like your variation on warrior, my 2nd played class.
I typically play a Warrior Giant Deck, no Worgen or Frothing though, even though you got great value out of him. Kept you on friends list hopefully Ill see you in future tournaments as well.

Just want to say thank you for running the tournament! It was a blast and I look forward to participating in many more!
Sorry I kept you waiting TheChiv and SixthSaga!
If anybody wants to add me feel free, I am open to talking about deck ideas or playing.
