The dice has rolled and the groups have been determined by destiny!!!

I want to remind everybody that group stage is starting this monday march 25th! Everybody has time to send their 3 decks to NickV before monday, if somebody fails to send the decks, they will be punished with point deductions!

Here I remind some basic rules:

1. Insulting players, swearing and saying stuff like «you are lucky» etc. is strictly forbidden and will be punished by point deductions (you just need to provide a screenshot to prove the harassment took place).
If someone is found insulting players several times, this player will be removed from the tournament.

2. During the group stage, each player will be allowed to register up to 3 decks for the tournament and will send them to the judge, which is NickV! During the course of the entire tournament, each player can switch between the submitted decks whenever he wants...you have also the privilege to make changes in your deck up to 3 times (extra and side, but no changes in main deck), but always need to confirm with the judge after each change.

3. The points will be distributed in the following manner during the group stage:

Win 2:0 = 6 points
Win 2:1 = 4 points
Lose 1:2 = 2 points
Lose 0:2 = 0 points

4. The top 2 players in each group will advance to single eliminations, where points will not count anymore, and as a special privilege to the qualifiers, they can submit a 4th deck they could use and tell about this to the judge.

5. All the players during the group stage will face each other twice – home and away, and everybody will have 4 days to complete the 2 duels between each other. We will be very strict with the time limits unless something really serious happens. After a round is posted, players will have 4 days to complete their duels. Players should make all the efforts to complete their 2 matches within the given time period. If a player is inactive or did not make the effort to get the match played, that player will get an automatic 2-match loss. If both players didn't try their best to play the matches they will just get an X for both matches. If for some reason both players have been active, trying to find each other but couldn't duel each other because of X problem (time zone conflicts, never met up each other online etc) - both payers will get a double draw 0:0 0:0 and will have 1 point in total for each of that 2 matches.

6. The best way to contact your opponent is pm'ing here or through skype, don't wait in the chatbox till somebody gets online, set a day and time to play with your opponent the 2 matches. REMEMBER to save screens of your sent messages to the other player, in the case the oponent doesn't show up, this will be the evidence you have been active and looking for the duel!

7. The replays should be sent to NickV and the result (with no replays of course, otherwise the enemy will know what deck you are using) posted in this thread so I can smoothly update the groups every time without the need to ask NickV the result of this or that duel.

8. In case 2 players in the end of the group stage have the same amount of points (for example 20), the one that will be higher in ranking will be determined according to the better singles +/- difference (if player A has 20-17 in singles (+3) and player B 20-16 (+4), player B will be higher in ranking)

9. During single eliminations the player that wins 2 matches out of 3 advances to the next stage!

Noooooooooooooooooooo why dafaq did you have to put me in a Group Of Death wahhhhh You are so evil Mister

Sorry, mate, it was not me, it was the destiny, the groups where decided in a FIFA way, I put the names of all players (except head of groups) in a dark box, and group positions (c3, f5, d2 etc) in another dark box, so chosed a player name and after their group position, so everything was done in a random and blind way.

I'd advice using www.challonge.com if you want I can make the group stages there. It's (way) easier for me to update the scores on that website.

no, Nick, don't worry, I did this tourney before in ygo3 with my team and I'm very used to that, I will take care of everything, you just follow the replays and let me know the results

This looks good. Hope I do well in this. GL to others

This should be very very interesting Good Luck Guys and Mister will we just ask people from our group to war when they are on the chatbox or are match-ups decided?

Rule 7 is very important!

7. The replays should be sent to NickV and the result (with no replays of course, otherwise the enemy will know what deck you are using) posted in this thread so I can smoothly update the groups every time without the need to ask NickV the result of this or that duel.
