Tournament rules have been updated!

What's new, in short:

- to be allowed to play a tournament, the forum posts limit has been reduced from 10 to 1 post in the "introduce yourself" section.
- Rewards have been reduced; only top 3 players will receive a code. In case of 32 or more players, rewards will be increased.
- some other minor changes

This is gonna be the last tournament of 2014 and also the last tournament with current rules and format.

When I read your big announcement that you pushed in the tourney-thread, it sounded like something that will change the tourneys entirely.
And now, the only real thing that changed are reduced rewards. That's extremely disappointing...

It is quite a change. Reduced rewards will affect the tourney dynamic quite a lot, hopefully making them run more smoothly. And post requirement reduction makes it much more open for new members.

Tournaments in this format have been working for a long time, which is why we're keeping most things as they were. A lot of thought was put into analyzing the exact effect of these changes, that much I can assure you. But if you have any ideas for change, feel free to suggest!

May you explain how? The only thing I can see: less rewards, less motivated players.

About reduced rewards:

I'm sorry, but reward changes were something we had to do; first of all we wanted to make tournament simpler removing 5th-6th place final, that in most cases wasn't played by players (and moreover, it was an out-of-brackets final). Second one, we couldn't mantain old rewards (above all those for more than 16 players), because there would be the risk to inflate the community with "easy" codes, since from 2015 PvP-events will have reward codes too.

Said that, with old rewards, a player who reached the final was already satisfied since he was allowed to think: "well, even if I lose, I'm gonna have my new nymph/mark". This is not the spirit we want to see in a tournament. A final has to be the match where both players give their best to win.

We know well that changes are never welcome, but we also know well you will understand and agree with us, in time.

I loved the awards changes, but can only agree with WC points if the top 7 of leagues receive points, this also believe that many will realize over time.

i think that there are not so many people playing tourments because rules are too difficult to be found and learned...or at least for me... the tournaments seem like an elite game for few of you. now even new players can partecipate since the 1 post rule, and so the number of playesrs could grow, but i think that it will be useless since it s difficult for a noob to understand how to join, deck rules and so on...it will be nice to make "tournaments rules for dummies".
 however i know all the organizers work hard for this game, thank you.

Some tournaments have more "difficult" rules than others, that's true, but we try to set up tournaments following the "simple is better" way.

Actually, it takes more time to read all tournament general rules than understanding them; but since we need a complete and clear set of rules to handle ALL possible situations, conflicts or issues, we had to write a lot.

A tournament is pretty simple:

-read general rules, at leat once. Just to know that a round can last max 1 hour, that you've to write the match result if you win or that you've to play vs AI is you get disconnected...
-read special rules, that change every tournament
-build some decks, join the tournament and play.
