Tappedout Third League SignUps CLOSED
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Aug. 11, 2015, 10:02 a.m. by xzzane
CanadianShinobi, ThisIsBullshit, and I will be doing three more leagues for everyone! The first league will be in the Modern format, the second will be in the Standard format, and the third league will be in the legacy format. When the league starts, you are to report all match records to the wall of the user that is in charge of your specific league. So if you are in the modern league, report your results to CanadianShinobi. If you are in the standard league, report your results to me, xzzane, and all legacy players should report their results to ThisIsBullshit.All of the leagues will start and end at the same time. CanadianShinobi is in charge of the modern league, I am in charge of the standard league, and ThisIsBullshit is in charge of the legacy league. All standard rules of each format will apply.
Sign-ups will close on September 12th, at which point play will begin. I will produce the brackets and results sheets dont worry about that! To sign up, state what format(s) you are interested in playing as well as what time zone you live in. This is to generate brackets that will make things easier for people to complete their matches. Matches will be completed through a use of either Untap.in, Cockatrice, XMage, or any other way of completing your matches that is agreeable to both players.
The general layout will be the same; I will randomise all players into brackets. Everyone aims to play everyone else in the bracket. Matches are to be scheduled on your own, at your own convenience. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss or for not playing a match. In order to schedule matches you can comment on peoples walls or private message them.
If you want to take part then just comment below specifying whether you want to sign up for the standard league, modern league, legacy league or a combination thereof. Note that all matches will have to be played, so don't stretch yourself too thin!
You may use only one deck. This is a competitive tournament. Once you have decided which deck to enter, make sure either I, CanadianShinobi, or ThisIsBullshit know what it is. You can do ths by either by tagging us in the COMMENTS section of the deck (NOT description), or by just linking it on any of our walls. Deck lists may not change after the deadline.
In order to make things more interesting, CanadianShinobi, ThisIsBullshit, and I have decided to grant a reward of five feature tokens to the overal winner of each league. Note: Only one winner can get the tokens per league, not per bracket. There will be a winner's bracket that will follow the first bracket to determine who wins the feature tokens. Points WILL NOT carry over into the winner's bracket. This is to prevent circumstances where multiple people drop out of one bracket and make it impossible to win overall compared to another person's bracket. Another rule that we have decided to implement is one to help motivate people to play. If you have not completed at least half of your matches by the halfway point of the league, then you will be eliminated from the league. Extra time to complete this league will be granted in order to accommodate this new rule. All of the leagues will start September 12th. Upon the league's start, you will have three months to finish all of your matches, with the first part of the leagues ending on December 12th. The winner's bracket will then be announced once the first part of the league is done.
So in other words: DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CANT ACTUALLY PLAY.
SignUps and League results can be found here.

scrotality can I get your time zone please? Thanks

Sign ups for Legacy have officially closed - those of you who did submit decklists can no longer change them and those of you who didn't submit your decklists will have to wait until the next league.
Thank you all for putting up with my triple posting to the max
September 12, 2015 11:52 p.m.
Same for Standard. I will no longer be accepting any further submissions.
September 13, 2015 12:12 a.m.
CanadianShinobi i think i may have been left off of the modern list or just not listed yet i was just checking to see if i should tag you again? Thank you guys for all of your patience with us.

hateindigital, post your submission on my wall with your time zone.
Modern submissions are closed. Brackets will be up tomorrow. Barring some delay on my part (I am sick keep in mind) I will find a means of communicating them to users.
September 13, 2015 1:54 a.m.
Few things: In modern, it is micah1, not michah1, and my deck never got signed up for legacy, even though I commented the proper name. My deck is Legacy Grixis
September 13, 2015 8:32 p.m.
Standard brackets are up. Modern and Legacy brackets are both in progress, and will be up shortly. If you see your name is not on the brackets, and you have submitted your deck and time zone to me, please tell me and I will add you to the league. We have attempted to arrange brackets according to time zone as best as possible, but some people did not give us the time zones, so we had to do the best with what we had. As soon as all brackets are up, I will tag all players in the leagues and officially start the leagues, and the games can begin!

So I signed up for modern, central time zone, back on page 2, comment #91, but I don't see myself on the sign-up sheet. I don't wanna miss out! My deck is Rocket Science Modern League. Thanks!

Figag This is the first I have seen of your deck submission. You expressed interest, but I have no found any evidence of your deck before now.

CanadianShinobi says... #15
Nope, scratch that, just more of my bloody sickness interfering with my organization.
September 13, 2015 10:25 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #16
Not a problem. Thanks!
I suppose it's also too late to sign up for legacy? I just got into it like, yesterday, but I'd love to try it out. It's past the deadline so no problem if it doesn't work, but ThisIsBullshit if you need another player for Central time to make the brackets work nicely, hit me up.

Say, modern 1 (my bracket) has 9 people while modern 3 is short 1 person. I know modern 3 is Europe, but I'd love to face off against thealexgnan and chiefbell so if you want to move me to that bracket to even things out, I'd be okay with it.
No problem on Legacy. I doubt I'd win a match anyway, given I picked it up yesterday.
Thanks guys!

The brackets are as balanced as I can make them.
I suspect I am missing one person for either 2 or 3 but I cannot find that person. I am currently quite sick and I am heading off to bed. If anyone notices any discrepancy within my brackets post it on my wall.
Unfortunately some players in Easter time zones will be playing against people in Europe.
All in all things should be okay since the winners of each bracket will be moving on to the Champion Bracket. But I wanted to add equal (or near to equal) sets of players for the sake of consistency.
Once again I would like to deeply apologize for my lackluster organization with regard to the Modern League. Suffice to say I have my reasons, some good, others not so much. As it stands I will be much more on top of things in the future.

Ok sounds good. Thank you all for running this! It should be a good time!
How many people go on to the winners bracket?

ThisIsBullshit says... #21
micah1 I'm so sorry I totally missed your submission, you're in now.
Figag I'm guessing it will be top two but we'll deal with that more in-depth once the first round is done.
September 13, 2015 11:24 p.m.
Also, there will be no need to set up your bracket pages yourselves, as we are making the bracket pages for you to arrange your games ourselves. The standard brackets have been created, and I will tag each of the users in the bracket to the bracket page when everyone is ready.

CanadianShinobi, I think you missed my submission for Modern. I'm sorree that you're sick. I know how difficult it is sometimes.

Oh sweet, I'm in the Grixis bracket. ChiefBell You're going to have a lot of fun in this one. Good thing I've got my Young Pyromancers to break the mirror.
September 14, 2015 4:35 a.m.
Seeing how much Grixis is in our bracket, I'm happy with my decision to maindeck Boseiju, Who Shelters All :)

JexInfinite says... #28
As far as my sideboard goes, it's mostly good. It's looking like one of the tighter brackets. If I had chosen UWR, I'd be very confident with my matches, but that'd be less fun than something entirely different.
September 14, 2015 4:52 a.m.
Im playing my jank deck instead of a popular configuration.
September 14, 2015 4:55 a.m.
Most preferable platform to me is Untap, altrough they've closed new registrations untill new version tests are over, so I'm open to any other propositions.
September 14, 2015 6:08 a.m.
Untap V2 is up.
Just played 3 really good games versus JexInfinite. Unfortunately control won the day.
September 14, 2015 6:17 a.m.
JexInfinite says... #32
Had some really great games against the Chief. Playing against good players is so much more enjoyable than average players. Definitely looking forward to the rest of the matches mirrors.
September 14, 2015 6:18 a.m.
Couldn't find myself in either Modern or Standard. I signed up back at post #30 and gave both lists to xzzane. If it's all already set up that's cool but just in case I can still sneak into a bracket.

Coinman1863 says... #34
Awkward moment when you are on the sign up list for modern but not in any of the brackets...
Help Please?
September 14, 2015 7:11 a.m.
awphutt, I apologize for missing you. You have been added to bracket 1 of the standard league.
September 14, 2015 9:24 a.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #36
Apologies for the wait, legacy brackets will be up today
September 14, 2015 10:32 a.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #37
Coinman1863 you're now in bracket 2.
awphutt you were supposed to give me your Modern list. however, I will place you in Bracket 3 so long as you give me a link to your list by the end of today.
September 14, 2015 10:34 a.m.
Ohhh Bracket Three another meal for my hungry Demon :-)
September 14, 2015 10:35 a.m. Edited.
Thank you both for the help, my Modern list was submitted.
September 14, 2015 10:56 a.m.
Should we all deal with our duels on our own, by private messages, or can you start a new topic in which all arrangements could be made? I wouldn't like to make a mess here by posting my availableness each single time or shooting my competitors blindly at their profiles.(BTW, I'm available on Untap for anyone right now ;) )
September 14, 2015 11:51 a.m.
Wiktul, we are in the process of creating brackets for everyone, as can be seen here. All arrangements can be made on those pages once they are all set up.
September 14, 2015 11:54 a.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #42
Wiktul I will be making lists of brackets on T/O later today. This will help for arrangement purposes. However, you are expected to contact users on your own time through your own means.
September 14, 2015 11:55 a.m.
Than you,xzzane, I'll wait for those brackets then ;)
September 14, 2015 11:56 a.m.
Based off the public submissions people were giving, I was beginning to wonder if Grixis might be a large portion of the meta. I should have gone with my Boros homebrew if I wanted to be unique. :)
Looks like my work websense doesn't like the google doc. I'll just wait until I get home to find out what my bracket is.
Looking forward to playing with everyone!
September 14, 2015 1:11 p.m.
Maybe I missed it but could someone link me to the modern brackets? I think I signed up and tried to link my deck twice to no response.
September 14, 2015 1:58 p.m.
So it looks to me that Shinobi got my name and my decklist down for the Modern tournament, but I don't see my name in ANY of the brackets. I could've missed it, but just wanted to know if that could be fixed. Thanks!
