Two steps forward, three steps back
Without warning, heart attack
He fell asleep in the snow
Never woke up, died alone
I Don't Wanna be
I Don't Wanna be me
I Don't Wanna be me anymore
Please don't dress in black
When you're at his wake
Don't go there to mourn
But to celebrate

REQUIREMENTS:
1. This tournament is for EXPERIENCED and ACTIVE players (registered before "the End of the World").
2. You need to be able to play ANY HERO since you cannot know what hero you will be using next round beforehand.
3. You need to be able to meet the tournament's SCHEDULE.
4. 40 card decks (hero included) as minimum.
REWARDS:
1. First place wins 1000 SC.
2. Second place gets 500 SC.
3. The tournament is sponsored by Wulven!
4. The winner gets an invitation to participate in Randomizer 9 (but will have to skip the Randomizers until then).
RULES:
1. Fairness above all.
2. This is a Bo1 double elimination tournament.
3. Each hero can be selected by 1 player only (first come, first served basis).
4. In order to sign up you need to select a hero that you intend to use in Round 1 from the list below (NOTE rule #3).
5. For Round 2 you will need to choose a new hero from the updated list (unused heroes and those that were defeated in Round 1, lower brackets players get to keep their heroes and will have more hero options as well), from that point forth you'll be switching those heroes every 2 rounds (meaning, e.g., that you'll have to play different heroes in the semis and finals of the upper brackets).
6. Pair-ups for each round will be random (based on the certain principles to be disclosed after the tournament concludes).
7. The first 16 players eligible to participate will join the tournament (the rest will be put on the reserve list).
8. As the tournament's organizer I reserve the right to be the 16th player as well as a reserve player for certain heroes.
9. I'll work in this NOT as a permanent checker of all the games, but as an intervention guy. Meaning that I will be a referee, should that be required by one of the participants of the game in question.
A. A sync error will have to be replayed unless a player concedes (with the same starting sequence and decks).
B. A frozen game will have to be replayed unless a player concedes (with the same starting sequence and decks).
C. If a player is disconnected during a game, the victory goes to the other player unless BOTH players agree to replay or a player concedes.
D. Being unable to comply results in replacement by a reserve player in Round 1 (& Round 2 for the upper brackets) and auto-loss on further stages (unless you have a reeeaaally good reason for that and PM it to me in good time)!
E. All the players that intend to play their games on the last day for Round 1 MUST report the scheduled time of play (or state that they're unable to reach their respective opponents), otherwise the participants of such games will be replaced by reserve players or those I find on IRC (with the signed up reserve players having an advantage over the rest)!
F. All the players in the upper brackets that intend to play their games on the last day for Round 2 MUST report the scheduled time of play (or state that they're unable to reach their respective opponents), otherwise the participants of such games will be replaced by reserve players or those I find on IRC (with the signed up reserve players having an advantage over the rest) that win in a mirror Bo1 game against other reserve players for the same spot!
