Spring 2022 All Ranks Tournament

[Max Lager]

Coming soon to Twilight Isle! The Spring All Ranks Tournament! One night only! Sunday, March 13th at 8:00 PM by the Eastern Clock, the Duel of Magic welcomes spellcasters of all abilities for the Spring All Ranks Tournament! Come out and fight at Wizard ranking for a chance to win one of several prizes.

All entrants who pre-register before 9:00 PM on Friday the 11th and show up by 7:55 PM on the night of the tournament will receive 1 win right off the bat. Unlike past tournaments where an activity duel was required prior to participating, the activity requirement has been waived!

First place: 5 Wins (or the number of Wins you rack up through the tournament, whichever is greater) plus your choice of one of the prizes listed below.
2nd-5th place: Earned Wins plus your choice of one of the prizes listed below.
Everyone Else: Earned Wins.

Prize Pool!
Twin Win Pass - The Twin Win Pass is a special pass that is used at the end of a regulation night of duels. Every Duel of Magic duel that you fought throughout the night will be doubled! This choice does not need to be made before a night of regulation duels, it instead can be used after should the pass holder be impressed enough with their gained wins throughout the night and wish to double them.
The Twin Win Pass may be used during the cycle it is gained or during the following cycle.
A pass holder may only use one pass at a time.



Empowered Water Gem Familiar – With the aid of this familiar and the gem about its neck, the caster becomes instilled with the fury of the Tower of Water. While its power may fade, the familiar and depowered gem may be kept. Allows the user to use Elemental Fury in normal regulation duels until the next All Ranks Tournament. Unable to be used in challenges.



Mystery Box Prize! What could be inside?



The Pond Squirrel! A gentle creature found in ponds and known for keeping waters at a pleasant temperature and keeping away poisonous sprites from infecting and harming water supplies!



Breath of Fresh Air Mask! This mask allows its wearer to breathe under water!

[[OOC Info:
No activity requirement. Yep, you read that right, NO ACTIVITY REQUIREMENT!
Format will be single elimination for greater than 10 people, double elimination for less than 10.
Seeding will be based first on RoK Rankings, followed by sign up or walk in time for those that don't pre-register. ]]

“Haven’t done a tournament in a while, so screw it I’ll join.”

[Airtia Shadoan]

Now this was interesting . . .

While looking at the various postings on the board she saw this one. "Spring All Ranks Tournament," she said quietly to herself as she read the notice. "Magic. Hmm..." It could be interesting.

The idea was tossed around a bit as she thought about it. Perhaps.. Perhaps she would sign up. Considering this she headed off.

I see another furry friend in need of a forever home!
Count me in to participate in this. :)

[Ellie Luisante]

I would like to dance in this!

A point of curiosity that does not affect my registration: if the Twin Win Pass is used, will that also affect Zodiac Trust earnings for the night?

The twin-win benefit of the augmented Ring of Klytus does not affect Zodiac Trust earnings, so the same will be said for the Twin Win pass.

[Rhys Germain]

I’ll join. Someone has to help Dris smuggle all the creatures home.
