• Your deck must be a duo deck, i.e. 50% of one element and 50% of another element. You can use any deck mark.
• In this tournament, your maximum allowed upgrades in your deck will be equal to your "Dimso". Everyone starts the tournament with 3 Dimso (Preliminary round) or 6 Dimso (First round).
• For the first lost game in every match (i.e. 0-1), TO will roll a 1d6 and the loser will gain that many of Dimso. It will be immediately in effect for the next game in the same match.
• If the other player lost the second game (i.e. 1-1), that player will gain the same amount of Dimso as his opponent in the last game.
• If a player wins a match with 2-0, he will be awarded with 3 Dimso before proceeding to next match.
• A table of Dimso of every player will be shown in the second post.
• Discord and its upgraded variant is banned.

Tournament Organizers Note

If you think there is an overpowered card that ought to be banned, or you have some concerns about the tournament metagame, mechanics or other stuff, do NOT post it publicly in the comments or anywhere else on the Forums. Instead, send a private message to Tournament Organizers, who will privately discuss about it. Thanks for your cooperation.




TOURNAMENTS Q&A

Q: What is a "Dimso"?
A: "Dimso" is a unit that determines how many upgrades you can use in a deck.

Q: No seriously "Dimso" is not even a word.
A: Because I made it up. It is a loose pronunciation of "points" in Cantonese.

The Dimso table:

Player	Dimso Amount
Aves	10
glennfoo	14
ji412jo	8
kaempfer13	14
Klatu	8
mathman	8
moerphi	11
Naii_the_Baf	13
phoenix1211	12

Is Dismo reuseable?

Is Dismo reuseable?

I don't know what a Dismo is (is that even a word?), but a Dimso is not consumable.

[Patient666158]

god this sounds complicated...

[kaempfer13]

wait so a player that wins 2-0 is at a disadvantage for the rest of the tournament? also was the dicerolling aspect really needed?
duos have to be a perfect 50-50 split?

[phoenix1211]

Same concerns as kaempfer - especially the diceroll aspect. I think it would be fairer and more balanced to make it a fixed number, i.e. you gain, say, 4 Dimso every time you lose a game. A difference of 5 upgrades purely due to luck can make games near unwinnable.

Also, if it's duos only, I feel... a certain weapon should be banned, just for the sake of variety.

We're sorry Kaempfer. You had to be nerfed.

[Vineroz]

Yes you would generally be at a disadvantage at some point if you managed to win 2-0 every match.

was the dicerolling aspect really needed?

Yes, because RNG.

duos have to be a perfect 50-50 split?

Yes again, i.e. 15/15 in a 30-card deck, 15/16 in a 31-card deck etc.

[Submachine]

This could be easily made into two different tournament ideas.

[Linkcat]

The rules of this tournament actively work against the idea of having the best player win. They also don't account for differences in the amount of matches played.

I am glad that there are comments on the tourney idea, then I found something is missing...the poll is now up! Go vote

The rules of this tournament actively work against the idea of having the best player win. They also don't account for differences in the amount of matches played.

Upgrades can give advantage, but it is still the skill to decide who is winning. I think it makes sense to give players a higher chance (not a must) to have a higher amount of upgrades.



From the comments I see you guys are really concerned about the RNG factor, which you claimed that it is going to absolutely dominate the tournament. While it is true that in a 16-people tournament, a finalist can have as much as 24 upgrades vs 3 upgrades, you still have to lose a game in every match to achieve that and that surely is a risk. It also means that the finalist with 3 upgrades has been skillful enough to win with an upgrade disadvantage.

However I will still offer this rule update to you since I listen to you guys <3:

• Everyone starts the tournament with 3 Dimso (Preliminary round) or 6 Dimso (First round).
• For the first lost game in every match (i.e. 0-1), TO will roll a 1d6 and the loser will gain that many of Dimso.
• If the other player lost the second game (i.e. 1-1), that player will gain the same amount of Dimso as his opponent in last game.
• If a player wins a match with 2-0, he will be awarded with 3 Dimso before proceeding to next match.

I hope this is not getting too complicated, and any suggestions to improve my awkward English is welcomed.
