ManaGrind is proud to present the return of Swiss Format play!
EU: Friday January 31st, 2014 7pm(CET)
NA: Friday January 31st, 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.
Had tons of fun tonight in the tournament, thanks for hosting! I'll show up next time with something slightly better now that I've seen some weaknesses =)
Good luck to the people in the Single Elimination portion of the NA bracket.
