My name is EggY, some of you may watch my stream and if you do I love your faces!
I am coming in from the Starcraft Community where we were for sometime over saturated in tournaments, and hell maybe someday Hearthstone will have that too, if Blizzard doesn't mess it up #Kappa.
I have 13+ years in TCG experience as well, mainly from the Pokemon TCG some Magic, which has really helped me find a new love for a card game again.
But in recent light of there being a lack of tournaments during friday nights! I have decided to launch(hopefully) a new Weekly tournament series!
Currently it is: -Every Friday(if enough intrest possibly 2x a week $5) -At 10pm EST -Free Entry -$10 to the Winner!
Why 10pm EST? For people that work late, come back from school late, and lets be honest we all stay up pretty long on saturdays. NA server, sorry EU's =(
What Kind of Format?
I kind of want to use the Team Liquid Format for now you choose 3 decks, And play till you KO all 3 decks. I do not know though yet. I may want to do Choose Best 2 Decks until finals(so pretty much a BO3) and the Finals is a B05(choose your best 3 decks.) That way when you get to the finals it can be exciting because each player has a "secret" deck that he or she can use and use meta game and strategy to the max. Could be fun let me know what you guys think.
Where is the money coming from? Me! I make enough to throw down $40/mo so why not? Feel free to donate though, I will either use it to increase prize pool or use it for weeks to come!
How long will you do this far? Until I deem it not worth. I intend to stream/cast games(not sure how yet) so I hope you guys watch!
Will you play in it? Most likely, I must try to defend my money. Comments, suggestion, question put them below! gl hf
Couple of questions, what platform will you be using to track the tournament results? Also, do you have adequate staffing available to administer the tournament, enforce the rules?
Friday Night Hearthstone is the Idea, maybe well change the name to it also :D
Platform either challonge or binary beast heck even Z33k. Seems to work best for SC2 tournaments in the past.
Admin is me. I will try to develop the easiest method for everyone to play. I believe pretty harsh rules on showing up on time, that is the #1 reason behind tournaments lagging 2-3 hours behind.
I think we will start next week, but MAYBE have a test-flight this week. If we do sign ups will go up wed.
I would definitely be interested in playing in the tournament. I think the rules should be similar to the TL tournament with the 3 decks and the K'O.. Mid week would be cool too, like the idea of a wednesday night tournament
Seems like a fun free tourney! Although it might get saturated with people that feel spend a lot of money on the game and feel like they can win back what they've spent. Add me; Corneilius86#1267
Sounds pretty sweet, I'd definitely be interested. Though the Friday night thing is unfortunate. If it's that late, why not another day? Some people do go out on weekends. :p

Just a plug, feel free to follow me on www.twitch.tv/eggysc2
Please leave suggestion and thoughts, lets make competitive hearthstone a thing!
(as soon as blizz implements spectator mode huuehehuheu)
Note: this is just an initial post to see reaction. A formal sign-up post will be made either this week soon, or we might start next week I will see.
Nice, you're onto something here. Maybe you're on the way to creating a new Friday Night Hearthstone, I can only hope :D
Sweet initiative.
Friday Night Hearthstone... I love the sound of that...

You forgot a strawpoll option: have beta,am down but EU ;)
Interferes with FNM for me and late night tourney = poor playing. How big/long do you plan this to be anyway?
FNM?
He's complaining about your tournament going at the same time as the Friday Night Magic in his city.
Ah okay, small update. We will run a Tournament NEXT Friday most likely. The response has been good and I will make a formal post soon.
I figured Blizzcon might get in the way of things!

This seems like a good idea, I definitely won't be ready to do it this weekend but I would love to participate in the future
Sounds pretty sweet, I'd definitely be interested. Though the Friday night thing is unfortunate. If it's that late, why not another day? Some people do go out on weekends. :p
I would like to participate.
I'm down, sounds like fun. And maybe I'll actually be able to win and justify spending the money on card packs lol.
So like, is this happening tonight or???...
I'd be interested in this as well. Sounds like fun :)
I'm also very interested
