**WC2013** Regional Qualifiers (Winter 2012)

[Tyr Anasazi]

A few suggestions on future Swiss for 64.

1) Points awarded after a round is 3 for winner, 2 for auto-win, 1 for draw and 0 for loser.
2) All 3 games of bo3 shall be played, so that result of a bo3 can be 3:0, 2:1, 1:2 and 0:3.
3) Auto-win counts as 1:0, and all draws counts as 0:0.
4) The total points determine the top 8. Then the 1st tie breaker is difference between total game won and total game lost. The 2nd tie breaker is Sonneborn-Berger score (the total points of player defeated and half of the total points of player drawn against).

AFTER THE TOP EIGHT HAVE BEEN DETERMINED

The decklists+sideboards for the top 8 players in each regional will be published before those 8 players face-off in a single-elimination finals weekend (8th/9th December).

This is to keep things fair, and is standard in other TCGs.

When will these decks be published?
Since the last round ends tomorrow, we have roughly two days gap bafore the final weekend.

I can't give a precise time at the moment. But I will post them all on this thread, so you will get notified of them automatically if you subscribe to it.

Decklists for Top 8 in each region are being typed up at the moment. I'll post before I go to bed.

I looked through all the rules but still have questions unanswered, excuse me if I miss something:

Q1: If game 1 ends in draw, shall we keep who goes first for the replaying? (I know it doesn't matter actually, but better to be defined)

Q2: if game 3 ends in draw, shall we keep/exchange who goes first for the replaying or let it decided by random? It would be slightly unfair if we keep who goes first.

GDC, should you be posting the decks of the first three reserves as well? I don't think it's fair for the top 8 (who are no doubt studying each others decks) if a reserve comes on with an unrevealed deck.

Good point. I'll post them tomorrow, when I know who the 3 reserves are. Nahar is doing the calculations for all the regions. Yes, he is Shadow Era's 21st hero.

Third post in this thread has been updated with all seedings and brackets for finals and decklists.

Attention Players: To aid with scheduling, if you wish to play your round 1 match earlier than the weekend, then you are free to do so. Just contact your opponent and see if they are available. Be sure to post your agreed match time here, so that people can spectate if they wish to.

If game 1 ends in a draw, then same person starts that game on the replay.

If game 3 (the decider) ends in a draw, then you alternate who goes first in the replay.
