December 2014 Archmage Tournament

DUEL Lem · Post by **DUEL Lem** » Tue Dec 16, 2014 9:46 pm

The December Archmage Tournament will be held on Sunday, December 28th at 8:30pm Eastern! The format will most likely be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 8:35pm, and casting will begin at 8:40pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, December 26th at 8:30pm. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.

Lem, 0007's cutest caller, will be our host so please register early so that he knows how many entrants to prepare for.

Please post your registrations as replies to this thread. Good luck everyone!

((It's worked well, so we will adhere to a 5 minute casting limit each round in order to try and keep the tourney from running too late. Exceeding 5 minutes once will result in a friendly reminder from the caller. Anything after that will result in a mis-cast, meaning no spell was invoked and the opponent's spell scores for maximum damage. After a mis-cast, the duelist is still not allowed to use whatever spell they most recently used. That way the mis-cast does not serve as a type of disengage. In the case anyone needs more than 5 minutes for an urgent/special circumstance, please alert the caller, opponent, and the room so they they know you need a few minute and will return asap.

Also in the case that the tourney does run long, if the majority of remaining participants and the caller prefer to finish the tourney on another night, that is fine so long as the tourney is finished within a few days in order to allow the Archmage and challenger enough time to complete the challenge before the new cycle starts on Sunday 01/04. Any questions, you know where to find me. Thanks!))

I would say "JESUS CHRIST" in annoyance here but I believe Sadie would dislike me writing thy lord and saviors name in such a way.

I hesitate to register due to the shenanigans of "that woman", but despite the annoyances that are sure to follow, I will join this Tournament.

I lovingly register due to the shenanigans of mine wife, the greatest Archmage, despite my blind love for her which possibly may cause me to lose, I will join this Tournament. Also NINTH.

In Round 1, #1 Jesse got the bye while #5 Xanth defeated #2 Rena 5-1 in 5 rounds, and #3 Rachael defeated #4 Jade 5.5-2 in 8 rounds.

In Round 2, Rachael had the bye in the winner's bracket while Xanth defeated Jesse 5-2 in 7. In the loser's bracket, Jade eliminated Rena 5-3.5 in 7.

In Round 3, Xanth defeated Rachael 6.5-5.5 in 12 to win the winner's bracket while Jade eliminated Jesse 5-1.5 in 8 in the loser's bracket.
