September 2021 Archmage Tournament

[Max Lager]

The September Archmage Tournament will be held on Sunday, September 12th at 8:00pm Eastern! The format will (likely) be double elimination (depending on entrants), and late entrants have no more than 5 minutes to arrive. Seeding will begin at 8:05pm, and casting will begin at 8:10pm.

Seeding will be based on the most recent RoK rankings. Early registration will cut off on Friday, September 10th at 8:55pm ET. Any late registrants or walk-ins will automatically be ranked below early registrants. Registrants tied with the same ranking will be seeded by WoL.

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

(( This is a reminder that we do have a 5 minute casting limit each round in order to try and keep the tourney from running too late. In the case anyone needs more than 5 minutes for an urgent/special circumstance, please alert the caller, opponent, and the room so that they know you need a few minutes and will return asap. Thanks! ))

Second place will also take home an additional prize in the form of the Keeper's Blessing.

Keeper's Blessing

1. Allows the wielder of this grant the ability to use a special one time use Elemental Fury crystal within a challenge against a Keeper. This crystal will allow its wielder the use of Elemental Fury up to three times within a challenge (should the challenge go to 3 full duels). The power of the Elemental Fury Crystal can only be used once per match. The Keeper's Blessing is available for use until the next Archmage Tournament.

- or -

2. Allows the wielder to submit the Blessing to the Duel of Magic staff to be redeemed for a Challenge Grant that can be awarded to any non-Sorcerer duelist of their choice. This grant will allow its wielder to challenge one of the four elemental keeper titles so long as the keeper is not under a grace period. This grant must be used within 14 days.

(( Should 2nd place go to a current Elemental Keeper, they can only select the second option to give the grant away, and cannot select the EF crystal since they're already a keeper. ))

With great thanks to Gardenhome Orchards, the drink specials for the Archmage Tournament will be assorted wines, sangrias, and even fresh fruit juices for those who do not imbibe! We’ve even sweet talked them into debuting their brand-new Pumpkin Wine tonight! So come out and have a sip and sample a glass!



For eats, we’re loading up on beautifully decorated charcuterie boards covered with meats, cheeses, nuts, dried fruits and so much more! Snack away to your hearts content while you cheer on your favorite Mage or fill a plate for you to enjoy between rounds!



And Max didn’t want to host a tournament on the Isle without some of her specialty sugar cookies! Aren’t the pumpkins and the wine themed cookies so cute?
