Looks like there's some interest in organizing a tournament for Eye of Judgement, the fantastic CCG game for the PS3. This thread will serve as the place for discussion and organization of said tournament.
Tournament will begin Wednesday, 10/31/07, 6 PM ESTRULES:Single Elimination Tournament - Best of 1
1. Since cards have been difficult to find for some people I'm going to limit this tournament to the
starter deck plus one booster deck. Everyone should have that since it came in the initial EOJ package.
That means that you must play with the starter deck but it can contain 1 additional rare or ultra rare, 2 additional uncommons, and up to 5 different common cards. Of course, you still need to stick to the 30 card limit. If anyone has any questions regarding what cards came with the starter deck let me know and I'll post my deck. If your cards don't match that please let me know beforehand.
2)Tournament sign-ups start now and will end on Wednesday 10/31/07 at 12 PM EST (noon).
3) First round pairings will be posted at 6 PM EST 10/31/07. You will have slightly more than 48 hours to play your match and report the winner by posting it in the thread. That means that I need all winners of the first round by 11:59 PM EST 11/02/07. Yes, 48 hours is a long time but I want to give everyone a chance to play. Second round pairings will be posted sometime early Saturday morning. Again, you'll have 48 hours to play that round. Future rounds will be posted after that.
4) Prizes - none right now, other than bragging rights. I'll work on getting something.
5) Relating to #1, I'm not going to ask you to post your deck but if you think someone might be cheating post here. Both of you will be required to post the contents of your deck for verification. It's a friendly tournament so don't cheat.
6) Please use voicechat if possible while playing. It's a social game so be social.
7) Matchmaking for this game isn't that great so I'll leave it up to you to figure out how best to schedule and play your games. All I need are results for the first round by Friday 11/2/07 at 6 PM. One suggested way to matchmake is to create a room, invite your opponent, and then close out of the room. Let the other person invite you and enter their room ASAP.
8) Once parings for the first round are posted it is your responsibility to contact your opponent and set up a time to play. If I don't get a result from you by 11:59 PM on Friday 11/2 both people will be out of the tournament. Obviously, if there are extenuating circumstances we'll deal with that. If you have tried to contact your opponent and they don't respond, etc... please let me know as soon as possible (I'd say by Thursday night). I'll try to contact them and see what the problem is. If they are, in fact, not responding I'm not going to punish you for it. We'll work something out.
Let me know if I've forgotten anything. Rules are subject to change until 1 PM, 10/31/07
DECK CLARIFICATION
This is what I consider the official starter deck (thanks MuttonChops)
If your starter deck differed from this in any way please contact me ASAP.
As for the booster cards, I realized that not everyone has their original booster intact or can remember what cards were contained in the booster that came with the game. So, as I stated in Rule #1, you use your starer deck as a "base" but can change up to 8 different cards (1 rare/ultra rare, 2 uncommon, 5 common). You still must have only 30 cards in your deck.
WARNING
This tournament was talked about on the front page of the site and as I was adding names I noticed a lot of people who aren't forum regulars. They either just joined the forum today or they have a really low post count. I think it's great that this tournament is drawing people to the site but I just want to give you some friendly advice before we start playing...
There are those of us who are forum regulars. We post almost daily and spend a decent amount of time here. As such, we sort of know each other. We may not always agree with each other and we may not even always like each other but we are always respectful to each other. Put simply, we know how to behave like adults. I'm sure those of you that just joined to play the tournament do as well but if I hear of anyone (regulars included) acting like a dick or causing trouble I will DQ your ass from this tournament so fast it will make your head spin. That clear? Good...
ROUND 1: COMPLETE
Ok, Round 1 is officially over. Here are the winners and the people who contacted me via PM regarding either problems with their opponet or connection problems.
I'm going to post Round 2 parings sometime Saturday morning and those matches will need to be played by midnight on Monday 11/5/07.
Please note that as of Round 2, it's not going to matter if your opponent doesn't show up or if you have connection problems. I want the parings in Round 3 of the tournament to be against people that have won at least one match. I realize that sometimes connection issues and opponent problems are out of your control and you may think you are being punished for this. You really aren't. I just need to set up some sort of cut-off point for those sort of problems and the end of Round 2 is it. If you are having connection problems try to get them resolved by the next tournament.

ROUND 2 - COMPLETE
Here are the pairings for ROUND 2. It was random and you'll notice that there are two groups. Group A contains all of the people who played matches and won in Round 1 with the exception of Ternal. He needed to be moved to Group B to even things out. Group B contains the people who had issues in Round 1. Hopefully there won't be any issues this round. If there are, I'm sorry but there's really nothing I can do for you. I want everyone in Round 3 to have at least played and won 1 match. It's only fair to those who will have beaten two opponents by that point. There will be other tournaments so if you continue to have connection issues please try to resolve them the best you can.
You may begin playing these matches now. I'll need results by midnight EST, Monday 11/5/07.
Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be out of town this weekend so I won't be able to check the board as often as I normally do. However, I will be checking it. Just don't panic if you don't hear from me right away.

There's some question about the Ternal match so we might need to add him in sometime later. Chances are I'll just play him. If he wins he'll advance, if he loses he's out.
I'd like these to be completed by 8 AM Wednesday morning, 11/14

Play and let us know who wins...
ZORAK15 WINS!
Posts
Ok, here's what's going to happen...
There are several people that have contacted me via PM saying that they tried to contact their opponent and they didn't respond, etc... Keep trying. Pester the hell out of them.
In the meantime, send me a PM telling me that you are trying to contact them and it's not working.
Friday at midnight EST if I don't have a result from you posted in this thread I'm going to assume that you never got in contact with the person. Please note that you must PM me. I won't dig through the thread looking for people telling me that their opponent didn't contact them. Please, if you are having this issue, PM Me.
I'll say it again. PM ME.
Round 2 is going to go as follows:
We're going to have two brackets. People who won their matches (Pool A) and people who had opponents that flaked out on them (Pool . Winners will play only winners and the others will play only people lacking a partner in round 1. Round 3 will see someone from Pool A face off against someone from Pool B. Obviously after that it won't be a problem.
Please note that starting with Round 2 I don't think it's going to be fair to say "my opponent won't respond" so no more "free" passes.
This sound OK for everyone?
RedDawn - PSN: thirdedition
That's not a problem. You have until Friday at 6 to play your game.
I will trust the heart of the cards.
I will believe in my Pokeymans.
I shall not be defeated. I shall not flag or fail.
(my biolith warriors, can i show you them?)
I'm in.

Just make sure you post your PSN name.
The only thing I can think of is to have one person invite the other, then cancel out of the room, and wait for the other person to invite them, so they can immediately get in the room without having to worry.
Or something.
That's probably the best way to do it.

@ MuttonChops - Your schedule is a bit restrictive but I don't have a problem with you playing. If someone is willing to work around your schedule I'll try to pair you up with that person first round. Otherwise, it's going to be luck of the draw.

BTW, anyone notice the leaderboard cheating going on? There's 2 guys out there with over 1000 honor, and every time I go to watch the game, it's a disconnected game (board comes up, replay ends). Not like it really matters, it's just dumb.

Seriously. This game is making me want a PS3 so bad. I really need to stop reading threads about it, as my wallet can not support this.

Just to let my opponent know, I won't be able to play until about 6 p.m. (EST) on Thursday. At that point I am pretty much free in the evening. Friday is fine for me as well.
Hmm. Now to figure out how I am going to make this deck... 8-)
PS - I bought the retail version of Warhawk when it came out, but I haven't messed with the Bluetooth headset yet. Does anyone here know how to get it synced up with the system? I'm somewhat aloof when dealing with these newfangled doodads. O_o

Clarification - Do all of the 'booster' cards have to come from one booster, or can I cherry pick between boosters?
I don't see how in the hell I'll remember what cards came from what booster, so I have a feeling Tw4win stated the following because that is the size of a booster:
"That means that you must play with the starter deck but it can contain 1 additional rare or ultra rare, 2 additional uncommons, and up to 5 different common cards. Of course, you still need to stick to the 30 card limit."
Of course I could be wrong, if so, please clarify Tw4win!
