Battle of Tactics #5: Show Me What You Got - PvP Tome Tournament on: 10.12.2023

[Ultralord]

Great greetings, people of the Sky

Battle of Tactics is trying something new: Time for a Tactical-Tome-Tournament!

Different to a normal Tome-Tournament?

1. Public visible boosters
The content of all Boosters of each player will be visible publicly

2. Booster Types
Players have multiple general booster but also Wild-Boosters.
With these they can open all types of boosters, like a Pure-Fire-Booster to increase the chance of a key fire card for their planed deck.

3. Boosters per Player
The number of boosters is linked to their ELO. A higher experienced player has to work with a lower amount then a beginner:
S-Tier 139k-999k ELO  -->  9 General Boosters + 1 Wild-Booster
A-Tier 124k-139k ELO  -->10 General Boosters + 2 Wild-Booster
B-Tier 112k-123k ELO  --> 11 General Boosters + 3 Wild-Booster
C-Tier 100k-112k ELO  --> 12 General Boosters + 4 Wild-Booster
D-Tier 000k-100k ELO  --> 13 General Boosters + 5 Wild-Booster

Managed via Website

To support this event and future Tome games ,I have made a new website:
https://tome.t1421.de

On this website, players can open their boosters and have a public view on all opened ones.
There is also a filter code which can be added to your "custom_filter_extensions.json" for easier deckbuilding in game.

I have made a video about the features of the page, as well on how to use it:

Rules

• The tournament will be on the testserver, so all players have all cards.
  To start the testserver, use the "LauncherTest.exe" in your BattleForge folder.
• The match format is Best Of 3 with no looser bracket.
• There is a group phase with a max of 8 players per group.
  Only the best of each group will go into the final rounds.
• Disconnection during a game results in a default loss. If both sides agree, it is possible to have a remake.
• Not showing up to your match after 15 minutes results in a default loss. The plan is to play a round of matches every ~30 mins.
• After your match, go to Challonge and insert the result. That is done by clicking on your match and selecting the winner/stats.
  The brackets will be updated automatically.
• The Map Pool is: Haladur, Simai, Elyon, Lajesh, Uro and Yrmia.
• The map of round one will be Haladur, after that its losers choose.
  Against the second opponent, you start with Simai. third Elyon, etc.
  (I will make notes in Challonge)
• First deck lock is done by a coin flip. (/roll 1) 
  After that, the winner has to lock in first.

What is the difference between an PvP-Tournament and a Tome Tournament?
Tome was a PvP-game-mode in the original BattleForge where player had to build their decks with cards from boosters. Aka: Random cards. It often happens that you can’t play the way you like because you are missing cards and sometimes it was the birth of new strategy’s.

Another one PvP event...  It's a pity that PvE events happens not so often as PvP(

I most like to play some PvE events - in it everyone can participate and become a winner at least.

Interesting i personally had the feeling that there was more PvE Events this year then PvP.
Thats why i choose after 4x PvE-Battle of Tactics and PvP based idea 

But no worries im sure there will be more PvE Events in the upcoming months 👍

In the past, most events are usually PvE events with only very few PvP events.

There are also a few more PvE events in the planning stage currently.

Okey, will wait for it then) Thanks for the replies!
