Hello fellow Skyladies and Skylords!

We are back with a new Rookie PvP tournament!

Tournament Date
On Sunday 29.10.23 starting at 15:00 h CET.
 

Participating

Since this is a Rookie Tournament, only players with a maximum PvP rank of Fury () or below may participate.
If you are not sure, if you qualify as a rookie, feel free to sign up anyway. If we think you are too good to be a rookie, we will revoke your registration.

Format
Depending on the number of participants, the tournament will be either held in a Round Robin format (everyone plays against everyone else once) or Swiss System (A set number of rounds, a new opponent each round). In either case, the person with the most won games wins the tournament.
This means, that you do not get kicked out after loosing one or two games, but you can play the tournament until the very end!

Prize Pool
Participation Reward
Playing in the tournament will earn you 1 General Booster, even if you lose all your games!
But, if you quit the tournament before the final round, you will not get a participation reward.

Ranking Rewards
• 1st place                          6 General Booster packs + 1800 BFP
• 2nd place                         5 General Booster packs + 1000 BFP
• 3rd place                          4 General Booster packs + 800 BFP
• 4th place                          3 General Booster packs + 500 BFP
• 5th place                          2 General Booster packs + 400 BFP
• 6th place                          1 General Booster packs + 300 BFP
• 7th-8th place                   1 General Booster packs + 250 BFP

Additionally, the first 16 ranks will get a Promo Manawing!

Winning Rewards
For each game you win, you will get 1 additional General Booster (limited to up to 3 per person).

Random rewards    
Additionally, there will be a pool consisting of all PvP cards from the Rebirth edition, which will be randomly distributed between all participants!

What is Challonge? This is my first time deciding to join a pvp match and I don’t know what that is. Could someone be kind enough to explain/link it for me. Thank you very much.

Same question as Kryn. I never heard of Challonge as website and haven´t found it either?

Thanks for spreading the news. Im hyped and thrilled about it!

@KrynWinterbourne @LichterLoh

Challonge is a website, that is used to organize a tournament's bracket and has been used for pretty much all past PvP tournaments as well, see for example here:

Im really hyped about getting back into the BF/skylord pvp scene i started training a bit just for this tournament and even took some days off 🙂 

How will we choose maps?

Coinflip and ban one map after another until 1 is left?

Coinflip= by rolling a number ingame 

I will add a promo Manawing for each of the first 16 places. Looks like a reasonable number of participants. Let's have a good turnament.

Big thank you again to @triggz for helping oragnze this event and to @Eirias for hosting the stream (Which you should definitely watch if you didn't catch it live! You find it on his YouTube channel).

See you all in the next event! 🙂

@triggz, @Metagross31, Hi. When the tournament ended, I was in 16th place. I honestly won all my victories, without technical automatic victories. But I didn't get Manawing, and now for some reason I'm on the 18th place in the list 😦 How could that happen?

Hey Kamelot,

on challonge you are listed as #16, because people who left earlier are automatically placed at the end of the list. (https://challonge.com/688mgc9y/standings)
Leaving early disqualified those people from participation rewards, but not from ranking rewards. Since some of them managed to score points before leaving, they landed in the top 16.

Sorry for the cofusion.
