Tappedout Third League SignUps CLOSED
Challenges and Articles forum
Posted on Aug. 11, 2015, 10:02 a.m. by xzzane
CanadianShinobi, ThisIsBullshit, and I will be doing three more leagues for everyone! The first league will be in the Modern format, the second will be in the Standard format, and the third league will be in the legacy format. When the league starts, you are to report all match records to the wall of the user that is in charge of your specific league. So if you are in the modern league, report your results to CanadianShinobi. If you are in the standard league, report your results to me, xzzane, and all legacy players should report their results to ThisIsBullshit.All of the leagues will start and end at the same time. CanadianShinobi is in charge of the modern league, I am in charge of the standard league, and ThisIsBullshit is in charge of the legacy league. All standard rules of each format will apply.
Sign-ups will close on September 12th, at which point play will begin. I will produce the brackets and results sheets dont worry about that! To sign up, state what format(s) you are interested in playing as well as what time zone you live in. This is to generate brackets that will make things easier for people to complete their matches. Matches will be completed through a use of either Untap.in, Cockatrice, XMage, or any other way of completing your matches that is agreeable to both players.
The general layout will be the same; I will randomise all players into brackets. Everyone aims to play everyone else in the bracket. Matches are to be scheduled on your own, at your own convenience. 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, 0 points for a loss or for not playing a match. In order to schedule matches you can comment on peoples walls or private message them.
If you want to take part then just comment below specifying whether you want to sign up for the standard league, modern league, legacy league or a combination thereof. Note that all matches will have to be played, so don't stretch yourself too thin!
You may use only one deck. This is a competitive tournament. Once you have decided which deck to enter, make sure either I, CanadianShinobi, or ThisIsBullshit know what it is. You can do ths by either by tagging us in the COMMENTS section of the deck (NOT description), or by just linking it on any of our walls. Deck lists may not change after the deadline.
In order to make things more interesting, CanadianShinobi, ThisIsBullshit, and I have decided to grant a reward of five feature tokens to the overal winner of each league. Note: Only one winner can get the tokens per league, not per bracket. There will be a winner's bracket that will follow the first bracket to determine who wins the feature tokens. Points WILL NOT carry over into the winner's bracket. This is to prevent circumstances where multiple people drop out of one bracket and make it impossible to win overall compared to another person's bracket. Another rule that we have decided to implement is one to help motivate people to play. If you have not completed at least half of your matches by the halfway point of the league, then you will be eliminated from the league. Extra time to complete this league will be granted in order to accommodate this new rule. All of the leagues will start September 12th. Upon the league's start, you will have three months to finish all of your matches, with the first part of the leagues ending on December 12th. The winner's bracket will then be announced once the first part of the league is done.
So in other words: DO NOT SIGN UP IF YOU CANT ACTUALLY PLAY.

September 17, 2015 10:35 a.m.

xzzane, CanadianShinobi, and ThisIsBullshit, what is you policy on people who leave mid G3 and don't come back?

ThisIsBullshit says... #9
I'm assuming you guys are 1-1, so I'd just play the third game when you/they get the time.
September 22, 2015 4:04 p.m.
It's up to whoever is in charge of your bracket, but I would say what tibs said, and if they fail to be able to play a game when it ends then the win would default to you. But that would be unlikely to happen. And I'm not in charge of that decision anyways haha.

So do cards rotate out of our decks once BFZ shows up?
September 23, 2015 4:50 p.m.
Cards do NOT rotate out with BfZ. All lists must remain the same as they were when you first showed them to me.
September 23, 2015 4:52 p.m.
We were super eager. Way, way eager.
I still have like a few people to play.
September 23, 2015 5 p.m.
i wish my modern bracket was as eager :( I'm having trouble getting to play matches haha.

ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #16
Sorry, xzzane. I've been overloaded with my personal life, but I'll be more available soon. Although we already did our match.
September 23, 2015 6:07 p.m.
xzzane i was worried id be flooded with standard and modern matches and wouldn't have time in my schedule but i find myself just trolling the wastes of untaps.
September 23, 2015 6:20 p.m.
lmao, all the other brackets are flooded with wins and losses and we just have xzzane going 2/0...
And sorry i haven't been around, a bit of personal stuff and counterstrike kinda made me ignore online magic for a bit, but ive gotten back into the swing of things.

Lol and so far there have been exactly two legacy games played

CanadianShinobi I thought I signed up for modern so unless I am wrong can you link me to the brackets that I am in? Thanks in advance
September 23, 2015 11 p.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #22
allthingsMTG I did not receive a deck submission and play has already started. You cannot join, my apologies.
September 23, 2015 11:04 p.m.
allthingsMTG says... #23
CanadianShinobi Oh, I thought I submitted my deck to you and I did exactly like it said and linked you to the comment section of the deck but ok lol, guess not
September 23, 2015 11:18 p.m.
No need to be sarcastic, we're all human and make mistakes. Canadian, he did submit his deck, here, which can be seen in the comments section.
September 23, 2015 11:35 p.m.
allthingsMTG says... #25
xzzane sorry if it sounded like sarcasm, I genuinely forgot whether or not I submitted since after I tweaked it since I submitted it haven't looked. I am sorry Canadian, didn't mean to sound like a douche
September 23, 2015 11:37 p.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #26
allthingsMTG I stand corrected it seems, but I never got the notice. I apologize for the oversight. I need to head off to sleep, but I'll see if I might be able to do something for you, or at least consider a form of compensation.
And I didn't take your comment as sarcasm, so no offence was taken.
September 23, 2015 11:40 p.m.
CanadianShinobi ill play him in my bracket... we've all played few matches. of course its if the rest of my bracket agrees?
September 23, 2015 11:43 p.m.
Apologies, it can be hard to tell people's meaning behind their words over text sometimes.
September 23, 2015 11:59 p.m.
allthingsMTG says... #29
xzzane it's fine, I tend to come off as a sarcastic asshole to people over text or when I am talking to people who I don't know personally so I guess it was mostly my fault
September 24, 2015 12:10 a.m.
I think it's more the fault of the limitations presented by nonverbal communication. We need a sarcasm font haha.
September 24, 2015 12:13 a.m.

xzzane sometimes that would be a great thing to have

ZakMyLastName Did you read the part above where it said that sign ups closed September 12?
September 24, 2015 8:38 a.m.
SpringingTiger says... #35
ThisIsBullshit, I'm guessing that the changes to the Legacy banned list announced today have no effect on league play, because we already submitted decklists?
September 28, 2015 11:49 a.m.
ThisIsBullshit says... #36
Because decklists have already been submitted, the update won't affect the league.
September 28, 2015 12:08 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #37
Is the league using the new mulligan rule? I haven't been playing with it yet, and I'm assuming we aren't because it came into affect after the league started, but I'd like to confirm.
September 28, 2015 6:47 p.m.
CanadianShinobi says... #38
No, we are not using the new mulligan rule. Also I had no idea it was turning into an official rule.
September 28, 2015 6:57 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #39
It's no longer turning into. It is. It officially came into effect this past Saturday I think. But yeah, at all of the prereleases it was in effect. Not using it for the modern league makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!

logansullivan says... #41
xzzane can we get the title changed to show that the sign ups are now closed?
September 29, 2015 12:19 p.m.
Epochalyptik says... #44
You know, you should tell me when these threads die or close or whatever so I can take them off of the home page.
September 29, 2015 7:14 p.m.
In hindsight that would have been a good thing to do. Sorry, it never crossed my mind.
September 29, 2015 7:23 p.m.
Could we have links put in the description for all the organizer bracket pages?

ThisIsBullshit says... #48
Brackets for legacy are on my profile, you'll have to talk to xzzane if you want them in the post.
October 4, 2015 3:24 p.m.
CanadianShinobi, do you know where the modern brackets are? I can put up the one on Tibs' wall and the standard bracket and Modern bracket 1, but I don't know where any of the other modern brackets are.
October 4, 2015 10:34 p.m.
ToolmasterOfBrainerd says... #50
So when is the half-way point by which we need to complete half of our matches? I feel like that's coming up soon.
ThisIsBullshit says... #1
He didn't submit his decklist for legacy in time, Jex, so he won't be a part of that one.
All legacy people: you should've been tagged in the bracket decks I made, feel free to start games as soon as you want.
If you didn't get tagged tell me asap
