Two things everyone have to be prepared for in a tournament: adapting to how much time other people have and finish the round in time while taking that into consideration. Secondly, connections dropping anywhere between you, the servers and your opponent. This can drag out rounds like nothing else and leaves us with no choice but to coinflip most of the time. Especially since we have a lot of other things to tend to, we can't make rulings on ambiguous duels.
Yeah, next time I'll probably have to make a faster deck, if I can gather the cards for it.  I heard in the chat that apparently upgraded cards are only allowed once a month, so I should be able to gather whatever I need for it if I don't already have it, if next time is unupgraded again like on the 9th.

and you can't afford to take it too seriously.
I think that's what annoyed me the most; I just don't see why it was such a big deal that my opponent had to lie about having jade dragons in play.  It didn't make sense, since in the 23 turns of the game, he never got even one, and he could have easily played one if he had by then, and there was no reason not to play it if he'd had one.  Even if six of the seven cards remaining in his deck were jade dragons (extremely unlikely but possible) my bone wall alone was already big enough from firestorming his rays of light to hold off six turns of hits, and the seventh would have partially gotten through.  We'd sent a few messages back and forth, so I know he was there for the whole game, and he never timed out on any previous turns, so the AI never took over until the red bar on the screenshot expired.  (one turn he said something like 'did i just mitosis a ray of light twice?' and I replied 'not sure, but I have firestorm so it doesn't matter', for example; pretty sure the AI doesn't talk to me :p)

can't we like, move the tourney 3 hours earlier or perhaps change the day it's held on every week e.g. 1st week monday 2nd week Tuesday. etc.

but if it's held on weekdays plz hold it after we students finish school or something..... I know it is hard as times are different all over the world but holding the Eastern tournament on a saturday
(where im occupied with lessons).... I just can't join tournaments.

I havent joined a single tournament yet but my friend says its fun....

plz read and consider.

They do change the times slightly each time by a few hours (though I'm speaking only from 3 weeks of tournament experience) but yeah, all the ones I've seen have been on Saturdays.

We're on a rotation schedule. 18-20 PM GMT Western and 6-8 AM GMT Eastern. You can find the time in every single tournament thread that's put up.
And I vaguely remember a post that SG did. Can't find it now..

I was there, Deamon19  was disqualified on a coin toss cause Torb asked for their results in chat and no one answered(apparently they were having the matchs).
But that was cause they were taking too long, so I guess that's not a real prob since it's in the rules that if you take too long, a coin toss will be made.

I'm not happy with the times either as staying up past midnight on a weekly basis doesn't exactly do me any good but I can understand that my needs may not match those of the general populace on this matter.

In today's tournament, I found that there was very little, if any, metagame. In a tournamnet without a metagame, there is one best deck that can win more than 50% of the time against every possible deck.
Rulesets like this usually aren't a problem; they allow good deckbuilders to not have to worry about prediction and instead win by having a stronger or more optimized deck. Unfortunately, in these tournaments, deck-copying can be a major problem.

In a tournament with a distinct metagame, if the opponent copies your deck after Game 1, you can prepare and counter it. This isn't the case in a tournament with a small or no metagame. In a tournament without a clear metagame, if the opponent copies your deck after Game 1, there is no way to counter them if you were using the best deck in Game 1, which is clearly the best strategy. Games 2 and 3 will be purely luck. I don't think tournaments should involve pure luck for Game 2 and 3.

In tournaments without a metagame, or with a very small metagame, I think deck switching should not be allowed. This would cause these tournaments to be mostly deckbuilding skill with some luck involved, instead of mostly luck with some deckbuilding skill involed. Besides, there isn't any need for the best players to switch decks if one deck can beat everything else more than 50% of the time.
Somehow still around, somewhat

I didn't like today's tournament, it felt like there was no counter for some decks.  I am happy to be disagreed with, however.
