Weekly Tournament - October 20th - DECAHEXATRIS - Semi-Upgraded

[Submachine]

The highest combo in Tetris 2018 is to fill 16 rows simultaneously, which is called a DECAHEXATRIS. To achieve that, get ready to upgrade cards you barely used before.

TOURNAMENTS Q&A

Q: Do I instantly win when I have a creature with 16 HP on my field?
A: No. You only win if you START your turn with a 16 HP creature on your field.

Q: How should I prove that I won by the extra win condition?
A: Make one print screen at the end of the turn you created the 16 HP creature, and another at the beginning of your next turn. Print screens will be necessary if your opponent disagrees that you won.

Q: How should I start reading the rules if I find them too complicated?
A: Reading only the first 3 rules allows you to build fully unupgraded 30-card decks. After you built a few decks and understood the meta a bit more, you can advance to the rules about deck size and upgrades.

Q: Should I be careful of anything?
A: When you change a few cards to tune a deck, always check if the amount of upgrades are still legal.

"The following cards can be upgraded without restriction:"

Guess this kinda means that no other non-pillar card can be upgraded.

That is correct.

[Submachine]

We got a question about a scenario where it might be unclear if someone really achieved the extra win condition. For that case, we have a suggested action in the FAQ.

A: Make one print screen at the end of the turn you created the 16 HP creature, and another at the beginning of your next turn. Print screens will be necessary if your opponent disagrees that you won.

I want to add 10 additional votes for "later that day". 4AM is the worst for European players. Couldn't we make such a cycle
which totally excludes 2AM-6AM for all respective timezones?

[Manuel]

if u start the tournament at 1/2 am cest (not only this tournament, even the next ones until the end of march/first days of april) u can count on both europeans and usa players

in the summer was ok playing at 3am, in winter is impossible

Last tourney was at 2am for me. This one lands at 7pm. I would like to attend this one since last one was not possible. I would like to add 11 votes to keep the current time. I could settle for a couple hours earlier.

Finally a North American timed tourney... but I probably have plans :p  Hopefully it'll at least get a good showing.

[CactusKing]

Australia checking in here, this time works for us! Might not make it this week for other reasons though~

[immortal feud]

3pm for me is pretty nice and this tourney looks interesting with the alternative win condition

[Vindilos]

Most people voted for this being a good time, so the time stays.

[Wyand]

While I accept that European players wasn't too active on this voting, so the tourney stays at this horrendous time,
I'd like to quote myself. And hope that TOs will consider the idea, since I guess everyone wants more and more players
at tourneys.
