I don't see why we can't just play everyone in whatever order. Require people manage at least 1 match per week
It's still early enough, unless there's resistance, we can change to a different system. Open brackets, we could push 2 opponents per rounds. At 2 opponents minimum, we can get this done in about 3 weeks.
The round will last until Saturday 2nd, 2024 UTC 2359, and the next round will begin soon after. If rounds finish earlier, a new round may be posted sooner.
Due to the smaller player size, format will switch to Round Robin 1 opponent, 5 games per opponent. If players want, this can be upped to 2 opponents per round.
EDIT: Event format to be 1 round Round Robin. All players face all other opponents at their convenience. Round ends when all matches are finished.
New tools have been added to your arsenals. Take this opportunity to see their power yourself.
Rules You will face up to three opponents per round, and 3 matches per opponent. You start with 8 base upgrades in a deck. No restrictions on deck building. You may run the same deck multiple times. Post decks after the entire round is over.
However, there is a ‘new weapons incentive’. For each new weapon in your deck, you earn +2 upgrades per new weapon copy. This upgrade incentive is capped off at 12 upgrades.
Examples: Deck with no new weapons = 8 ups Deck with 1 copy of a new weapon = 10 ups Deck with 1 copy of 2 different new weapons = 12ups Deck with 2 copies of one new weapon = 12 ups Deck with 6 copies of three different new weapons = 12 ups

General Info on PvP
Spoiler for Hidden:
PvP Integrity 1. Strive for good sportsmanship at all times
2. Many issues can be resolved and discussed before "accepting turn". For example, if you speedbuilt a deck and didn't change the mark code, ask your opponent if you can fix the deck mark and replay before you accept your turn. If you continue on with the game, it is up to the other player to decide if they will replay or not. Do not pressure them into a replay. It is you who made a careless mistake and also didn't notice the error until too late. Additionally, if your opponent notices an issue before 'accepting turn', it is most sportsmanlike to allow them to fix the issue and replay.
3. Players may copy the 'replay' code of a game for 'viewing' later on in openEtG's custom section. To maintain PvP integrity, please use the replay only as a reference for game issues (i.e. one player disconnected) and to analyze your own game later. Players should strive to do their own work. Their decks should be self-built. Players are welcome to gain insight from the community (forums, discussions, asking questions, etc.) but should refrain from simply copying another player's deckcode mid-match. If you like your opponent's strategy G1, for example, you are welcome to speedbuild a deck like that for G2. Make sure it is your own work though.
PvP Issues 1. Stuck Screens: Sometimes players enter a pvp duel and cannot accept their turn. It looks like one is "stuck" on that screen with the only option to press the resign button. One fix to get 'unstuck' is to to use the L keyboard shortcut to reload game state. Communicate with your opponent to see if they're 'in' and 'connected' to you. To help avoid this issue, before starting any PvP match, both players can relog and test dummy decks to ensure they can connect.
2. Deck not loaded properly: Another common problem is a player will enter a pvp duel and they notice their newly chosen deck is not loaded and instead their last played deck is loaded and active. In these cases, let your opponent know and ask if it is okay for a replay before accepting your turn and playing any cards. This issue happens when your opponent sends you a duel invite, and you accept while you are still in the deck editing screen. Technically, you need to exit the deck editing screen and then accept the invite.
3. Lost connection/power: There are times where players lose internet connection to the game, lose power, etc. Players should take a screen shot and save the game replay. Both players then should discuss if they should replay or if it was very clear one player was going to win. When they are unable to decide, they may ask for a non-participating tournament host or non-playing arbiter to help decide. If both players feel comfortable with a replay, proceed.
4. Weird things happening on the screen: Take a screenshot when you see something odd happen. There can be some game bugs. Let the event host know about the issue. If it appears you can play the game through to the end, please do so and save a replay. If you believe the issue could have affected the match result, let both your opponent and the event host know.
Submitting Decks, Illegal Decks, Match Issues
Spoiler for Hidden:
Saving and submitting decks after a match After each game, save a record of the deck you played vs. your opponent. Even better, also copy the 'replay code' of the game and store it for later recall; the replay code captures both players' decks and the match can be viewed later. Both players must submit either (a) the exact deck code they played - and label which game it was used (i.e. G3 and G6) - or (b) submit the replay code (copy/paste)
Posting decks after the event After the event is completed in full, you may post deckcodes and match summaries to your match results post or a single new post with decks for all matches. Players may not post decks played before the event is over. Some of the event fortunes deal with seeing opponents' prior played decks as a fortune benefit. The event hosts can also post your deck codes if you do not post.
Illegal Decks The only illegal decks for this event are those that don't follow upgrades structure/rules. The default ruling is that a deck with incorrect upgrades is illegal, resulting in a game loss for the player with the illegal deck. If both players agree to keep the result due to a spirit of sportsmanship because the difference to result was considered minimal, that is allowed. But neither player should be pressured to do so even if the common perception is that there would be minimal impact. Players can reduce chances of error by asking event hosts for 'deck checks' at any phase/time prior to playing matches.
Time between games; interrupted play; inactivity
1. The default time limit in between games is 5 minutes unless otherwise agreed upon by both players. If Player A notices Player B is repeatedly taking longer than 5 minutes, Player A should remind Player B of the time limit and ask if there's a particular reason they need more time. Some in between 'thinking' and 'adjustment' is absolutely fine. Spending 15 minutes mid-match to design a new deck is excessive. Study and prepare in advance, not during the exam!
2. Interrupted play - If you need to suddenly leave due mid-match to real life circumstances, please communicate this clearly to your opponent; make every effort to reschedule again and finish the match. If you are not able to connect again before the match deadline, your remaining games to be played will be forfeited; your opponent claims the wins that were not played due to your leaving the match mid-way.
3. Inactivity - Obviously, dropping out of an event after it has started is not ideal. It affects your opponents and the event overall. The participant pool allows for even matches per player per round. Dropping out will disrupt that consistency. Still, it can be hard to avoid real life issues. Do your best to communicate your upcoming withdrawal as soon as you can with the event host and any players you have outstanding matches with. If there is a reasonable chance for you to complete your matches, even if it means poor preparation and performance on your end, please do so. Avoiding playing simply to avoid losing results is poor sportsmanship.
4. When a player does drop out or is withdrawn mid-event, both completed match results and unplayed matches are voided for the player dropping out. A substitute will be sought to fill in for the dropped player in future rounds.
5. Matches not played - if two players are unable to complete a match, the tourney host will ask for evidence of communication/availability. If one player was clearly more active in this sense, they would earn points as follows. TBD
timpa only saw 2 pillars for the whole game. permafrost RNG immediately froze both his squids the turn they're played. damage was slow but timpa was slowed harder

that moment when playing a rngbow and hoping for the best actually turns out to be the best option.
you can go back and edit old post scores and post the decks you used there, or you can post all of the decks you used here. this is more for the order of decks, but you can post them all and just give a brief description.
