Dog Pit - Announcements

[TStar]

All announcements will be posted here.

For purposes of the Swiss system to determine matchups, all dogs which are given a bye or win due to forfeit will be given 0.5 wins instead of 1.

XP gained from a bye or forfeit will be equal to INT instead of INT*2.  This is to compensate for the no-risk and no-damage potential involved.

There is still some confusion over the training system, so to clarify when you make any changes to your dog resulting from training or damage you are to put it in a new post with your new dog sheet.  Do not edit the previous sheets as this makes it very difficult for the organizer to verify that the changes were correct.

It is also important that players post the decks they used in their duels even if they lose.  Since a winner can only salvage cards from a deck used in battle posting decks is an absolute requirement to verify any cards gained from salvage.

Since a winner can only salvage cards from a deck used in battle

Currently rules say "- You may only chose cards your opponents dog had in his Hp."  Are we allowed to salvage cards opponent has in his hp but didn't use in battle?

Also, players who get a bye can only salvage Relics, but what about players who won by forfeit?

Ah yes HP.  War keeps getting me all mixed up.

Players who win via forfeit may salvage cards from their opponents HP as usual.

Decks are to be posted immediately after your matches are completed.  Starting in Round 3 any player who does not post the decks immediately after the battle will be assessed a 5 card penalty.  These cards will be randomly removed from your Health by the organizer.

In order to hasten the play of the event, the 1 day training period is being eliminated.  Please train your dogs after each battle.  If you are unsure of the damage you took or XP gained, all the official numbers are posted in the first post of each Round thread.  Please make certain that your results are the same as those.  If there is an error, contact me immediately.

Any player who fails to complete the update of their dog sheet before the end of the round will forfeit all XP gained and will take double damage for that round.

Starting with the next round, if players are unable to schedule a match and want to claim a forfeit victory for an unresponsive opponent they must PM be BEFORE the deadline to request it.  Anything sent after the end of the round will not be considered, and if only 1 player PM's then it will be assumed that player was the more active in trying to arrange a battle.

[TStar]

This rash of forfeits and players not playing can't continue.  Any player who misses their battle or forfeits two times in the event will be removed.  This is effective immediately.
