Similar to BL and CL on the vanilla forums, I thought we could have our own league for openEtG.
Basically it would be unrestricted PvP. Bans and allowed number of ups would be decided with your opponent before each match (default is no bans and 0 ups), and if you can't agree on something default will be used.
Will probably a short amount of time between a card is released and the card is allowed in leagues.
Just need to decide some basics:
Length of season.
Maximum number of times you can face your opponent (if any)
Minimum time until you can duel the same opponent (if any)
What kind of point system should we use?
Please discuss here.
-
Unbanning new cards should be allowed between two players, but default banned
Maximum matches in a small playerbase is undesirable (as is minimum)
Duration should be relatively short, 1-2 months
-
Agreeing with serprex, due to a small amount of players, I think there should be no restriction on amount of matches allowed, simply because it's not practical. As for length, 4-6 weeks sounds appropriate.
-
^What these two said.
As for minimum time for facing the same person, I'd say probably 12 hours.
And scoring. Using the same system as vanilla would work, until we find/come up with something better, which may or may not actually occur.

im up for some leagues
maybe 6-12 ups per player? ups are a lot easier to get in this than vanilla so~
4-6 weeks sounds appropriate

4-6 weeks sounds good. I like shorter for this one as there's nothing stopping us from just starting another one as soon as this ends. Can just hand out prizes once a month and reset scores and have an ongoing league.
Maximum number of times you can face your opponent (if any)
Why would this be a thing
Minimum time until you can duel the same opponent (if any)
I vote for "one duel per daily card", so basically working out to once a day but without having to do any bookkeeping about waiting around because you dueled last night and want to duel again this afternoon.
What kind of point system should we use?
Don't care
Additional comment: The rule about how if you don't get a certain number of duels done in the season, you have to wear a giant scarlet letter on your chest and recite 150 rosaries and don't get to play next time is dumb. I don't see anyone suggesting we import it, but we shouldn't import it. If we need something similar, make a participation prize that only goes to people with enough in-season duels. Carrots > sticks.
edit: With regard to allowed upgrades, defaulting to unupped in the event of disagreement is optimal. Anyone can agree to fully upped or 6 ups or whatever, and it would make me happy if the de facto standard became 6 ups per duel (or even fully upped), but having the fallback rules include ups allows wealthy assholes to effectively auto-win against poor people by just not agreeing to play unupped. Fallback/default rules should be greatest level of inclusive.

And league has started: http://etg.dek.im/forum/index.php?topic=137.0
-
Writ of Vindication is currently banned due to being a new card.
-
Having lots of fun with unupped league.
-
Can we do matches with non-standard stats? I'd assume so, but it's probably a good idea to check.
-
@Lost yes
-
Minor change of new card rule: Cards added during a season will be banned all season, but can be unbanned during a match if both players agree.
-
Prizes added:
Prizes:
1st place: 3000 Gold, 1 Mark and 1 Shiny Nymph
2nd place: 2500 Gold and 1 Shiny Nymph
3rd place: 2000 Gold
Will likely extrend to 4 prizes or more if we get more players.
Feel free to suggest changes, these are in no way final.
-
There's a countdown, so I assume we can post stuff in the league results thread.
Someone verify that
-
Verified
-
As far as max times you can face an opponent, we should stick with the once per day cap unless we get a lot more players.
Similarly, until we get more players there should probably not be a minimum.
-
When will the new pillars be allowed in league? They make a lot of new quartet decks viable.
-
"default rules are Cards added during season are banned, decks are completely unupgraded"
Will see how quartet pillars impact OL3
-
... Guess I'll have to wait till season 3 then... They should be very interesting to play with since they are just slightly less efficient generators than pendulums but allow for quartet action.
-
You can still allow the new cards in a league match if both players agree.
-
Prizes for league updated:
1st place: 10 000 Gold, 1 Mark and 1 Shiny Nymph
2nd place: 7500 Gold and 1 Shiny Nymph
3rd place: 5000 Gold
Participation Prize: 500 Gold per 10 matches played
Participation will be give to everyone, assuming the have completed at least 10 matches.
-
I would like to modify OL to be integrated into the game client. OL rules would change from Bo3 any-deck-goes to Bo3 with a single deck that'd include 3 or 6 card sideboards. In PvP one would be able to check OL to enter an OL match, the interface would handle the Bo3. Ideally OL standings would be maintained by server

Open League 1 / 2018 announcement post posted (the academy of redundant redundancy approves this).
The League will start as soon as it gets players.
