It is time for the next one!

 

With the exciting conclusion of the Summer 2020 Online Tournament our champion has devised a new cardpool for us.  This set introduces the 2018 Champion Replacement cards into the mix!  In this limited set they will work slightly differently than their keyword indicates: here each champion card will be bound to a specific objective set.  A player has the option of replacing the appropriately numbered card in the objective set with the champion card or not.  What new interactions will be found?!  The Champion cards can be found HERE.

 

Without further ado this is the Fall 2020 Cardpool:

Note: only Core Set affiliation cards are allowed for this tournament.

 

 

Tournament (new information in red)

Like the last Online Tournaments, this one will have a Group Round and then an Elimination Round.  Players will be allocated to a Group to try to best accommodate player availability.  Players within the Group are responsible for coordinating their match times, playing and reporting the games, before the end of the Group Round.


This Tournament will feature the start of “Green Group”.  Green Group will be a designated group during the Group Round that has preferential placement of players who are new to SWLCG online tournaments.  Remaining slots in Group Group will be filled by players with the least favorable standings after Ground Round in the previous tournament.  This should make games more fun for newer players and all groups more competitive.  Will someone from Green Group win it all and design our next cardpool?

 

Group Round will last 1 week per match-up players need.

Decks can be changed during the Group Round.  (It’s a new world)

 

Scoring: Like last time we did an online tournament, there is a tie-breaker system players will need to report on.  A win is considered 12 points.  DS gets points based off the Death Star Dial when they lose.  Ex: losing with the dial at 10 results in 12 points for the LS player, 10 points fo the DS player.  LS tie breaking points are based off objective progress.  4 points for each objective in the LS victory pile + 1 point for every 2 points of objective damage on the board, rounded down, the a maximum of +3.  Ex 1: LS loses with 2 objectives destroyed and 3 damage on the board.  LS gets 9 points.  Ex2: LS loses with 1 objective destroyed and 2 objectives at 4 damage on the board and another at 3.  LS gets 7 points.  Yes, this does incentivize certain decks, we’ll just have to make our peace with that.

 

At the end of the Group Round the top players in each Group will advance to the Elimination Round.  If there is a tie game point will be examined.  The exact number of players advancing will be determined once sign-up is complete, but, like the World Cup, expect it to be roughly half of the group.  

 

 

Elimination Round

Entering the the Elimination Rounds qualifying players will need to lock in their deck lists!  Once all lists are provided they will be posted on Cardgamedb for all to see.  This will let players plan their strategy and also let the rest of us watching place our bets!

 

Elimination Round will be single elimination best of 5.

 

In the early round(s) the higher seeded player from their group will have the choice of what deck to play first.  In all later rounds it will be decided by coin flip.  Players will alternate playing LS/DS. If a 5th game is needed the player who has more game points accumulated during the first 4 games of that one-on-one match up may decide which deck to play in the 5th game.  So keep track of the dial and objective damage in these games too!

 

Hopefully we’ll continue to have really exciting games, and online streaming in the cut!

And the prize for all this: Community!  Fame -the fortune.  Fame minus the fortune… and a say in the next limited cardpool!

 

 

Next Steps

 

If you are interested please respond below by Saturday September 26 and include the following information on availability:  EU/US/either.  This not to identify your nationality, simply what time will work best for you.  “EU” will be a group for players that can play at reasonable hours in the day or through night in Europe.  American players who can play during the afternoon (or morning) can sign up here.  “US” is for players than can only play during the evening in the US.  Many of us can make either work at some point during the week so for those players respond with “either”.

 

 Also include what SWLCG card you would like to use as your avatar in the live drawing of groups.  For example, I will represented once again by the one and only "Kyle Katarn".  You know which one.  If you have questions please let me know!

 

If you would like to play, but cannot post here because a moderator hasn't approved posts yet, you can still PM me on cardgamedb here.  Or you can reach out to us on the FB group.

Just to clarify again:  US means you can ONLY make games during the evening US time over the whole week.  If you can play in the afternoon/morning on the weekend you can declare either.  I'm in the either category and I'm going to move Yodaman into that one as well since he said he's flexible.

I'm in! EU evenings preferred, but I can also work with US West coast evenings (at that point the time difference is large enough that that would be next morning for me, and I don't have to go to work very early). Please make me Chimera, that card is gorgeous!

EU - Hoth Luke as avatar

 

I can't see it in the rules above. Can we use the new affiliation cards? I'm assuming still no.

Though they would be nice with these 5 pod cores. We're now up to 5 ewok pods!

Ah, good question.  I've started designing my DS deck and I used the Sith Expendable Allies faction card.  Are these not allowed?

Drat!  Back to the drawing board.

 

One final question.  The champion replacement cards.  Let's say I've decided to use two sets of The Emperor's Sword (149) in my DS deck.  I want to use It's Beautiful in only ONE of those sets.  Can I do this?  Or if I decide to use the Champion cards, I must use it in both sets?

You get to make the choice for each instance of the objective in your objective deck. So if you want to split you can.
