First topic message reminder :
Welcome, welcome, welcome to the concluding act to the Triforce Tournament. Allow me to give you a brief history lecture on this event.
*ahem*
Once upon a time, WDA had dorms. When we had dorms, we had issues that I don't want to discuss right now or ever. Out of ingenuity and for the sake of nostalgia, the staff has decided to temporarily bring back the dorms for this event as well as some awareness for the upcoming RP.
Anyways... near the end of the dorm era in 2011 to around this time in 2012 we held a huge academy tournament called the Triforce Tournament. The Tri represents the three dorms we had: Laval Lagoon, Boulder Canyon, and Everfrost Peak. I lead the Lagoon Platoon, Al unofficially lead the BCT (due to the dorm being known to be leaderless and all powerful naturally,) and Dew lead the EPT. Boulder Canyon eventually won the first tournament.
So here we are in this day and age being ironic. Here are the rules for this event:
Advanced Format (Open Tier)
Basic rules
1. Each player in the main lineup has 2 lives,
if you lose a match you lose 1 life (similar to HPX)
2. You may challenge any player from the main lineup of any of the other 2 dorm teams once the tournament starts.
3. You may substitute players and they carry on with the number of lives of the player they were substituted for
4. You may not change decks after winning a match
5. You may change decks after losing a match
6. A player that has lost a match may not be subbed in for a player with 2 lives
7. If you or your opponent has to go during a duel that is already in progress neither player may challenge anyone else until they finish their pending match.
8. You may refuse a challenge with a proper justification, however you absolutely may not stall.
3-way rules
1. If no player of the team has dueled for 48 hours one player from the team will lose one life
2. The order the above happens is predetermined and secret from the team. The order will be given to one member of each team for confirmation. They may not reveal that information. Those people are:
1 Captain from Boulder Canyon
1 Captain from Laval Lagoon
1 Captain from Everfrost Peak
I count on you to not disclose the information you will receive to your teammates, you receive the list only for confirmation after the life has been removed and no other reason.
The lists were made using http://www.random.org
If either team does not trust a list made by an opposing member to be truly random generated they may propose it to be re-done by someone else if as a dorm they reach that consensus, I will not take offense to that.
The above rules are there to ensure a team will not abuse the nature of the format by letting the other 2 teams lose lives first.
Side Note: ONLY WDA MEMBERS WHO WERE ORIGINALLY APART OF A DORM ARE ALLOWED PRIORITY ACCESS TO TEAMS. We will be posting sign up sheets to gather up old members. If you are a post-dorm member, then you may sign up here to be put on a waiting list. We will not test you. You are automatically free to choose any dorm you like when the priority sessions are over.
