Duel of the DBG's!!!

Well, now that there's 10 DBGs on MTGnews, I think it's time for a little competition, so I propose a tournament. Here's how it works.

The 10 teams each choose 5 people to represent their team. Then, each of these groups is paired against another. For example, say it's Team MTGnews vs. the Roguedeckers. It would look like:

Roguedeckers:
1
2
3
4
5

Team MTGN
1
2
3
4
5

each person on the team is randomly assigned a number and plays the person on the other team with the same number.So, say Team MTGN wins 3 games (a "game" is a best of 3 series between each of the 2 players on their team), RD takes 2. So team mtgnews wins and advances. Another catch would be that the entire team can only play 2 different decks, which must be decks the team worked on, so it's not just a battle of netdecks. 3 representatives play one deck (they may have variations within each, but they must have the same archtype) and 2 play another deck the team worked on.

When your team is ready to compete (or if they want to), sign up here with the team's name, and the 5 representatives.

To be honest, I think we have too many tournaments going on around MTGnews right now, between the clans and the other forums. I would rather wait until those are over to start another ;).

I'd agree with Andy...however, we also have some issues to resolve if we do try such a thing. Namely, what format would the tournament be? Not all of the DBGs are focusing on the same format, or even the level of competition they plan on facing (I believe some are focusing on casual or multiplayer games, though I haven't been reading through the threads to know for sure), which makes it difficult to have a tournament between the various groups. If everyone likes the idea though, we could always give it a try--we just may have to give some of the groups some time to build new decks for the format of choice ;)

Yeah I know, I'm gonna wait till the inter forums and clan war are over, then this will begin.

It'll be T2. So just DBGs with T2 would participate, and we could surely give them time.

About the level standings between decks, I guess teams with more fun decks can just make them T2 viable or just play them as-is. I think It'll be fun.
