    Re: Source Tournament aka Jelly Jam 2015

    FAQ and matters of etiquette:
    Bracket Here

    • First and foremost, and something that should generally go without saying, is be a fucking gentleman. I am not running this to stuff someone’s wallet. I am running this because Legacy is fun. And while I do expect it to be played in a professional and competitive manner, it should in no way be treated as cutthroat.

    • Cockatrice is the official program of this tournament. Anyone who needs help using Cockatrice just has to ask. If the individual pairings decide that they want to use MWS or MODO instead, that’s up to them, but not being able to play your match because you don’t have Cockatrice means you won’t be playing in this tournament at all.

    • Lurkers, friends, and people just signing up are welcome to join. The only stipulation is that you must personally represent yourself on The Source, and failure to keep in touch will result in you being dropped like a bad habit. That last bit going for active members as well.

    • You can private message or post your deck code at any time prior to the start of the tournament, and that deck code will be put on display to ensure fair play. Your deck may not be changed or altered at any time during the tournament. Once the tournament reaches top eight, the full decklist will be required and will be distributed.

      For those of you who don’t know what a “deck code” is, it’s the eight-character code that displays when you load a deck in Cockatrice. It will never change so long as you play exactly the same deck.

    • Do not share another person’s decklist without their permission. I know many will run their hallmark decks and that many may not care and that it may be obvious in many circumstances, but there’s no reason to aggressively scout this tournament. If someone wants to post about their own deck, feel free to join in. But don’t post about someone else’s sweet tech if they haven’t come out with it first, and certainly don’t message BigDong87 and tell him that he’ll be playing against RUG Delver next round.

    • Given the environment that the games are being played in, there will be no time limit for the match when it is being played. You are, however, still expected to play at a reasonable pace. If someone is abusing this leniency, report them to me and provide proof, and I’ll work on it from there.

    • It’s accepted that people have work, school, kids, ladies, and lives that otherwise take place outside of Magic: The Gathering, and that you can’t just pop on whenever you feel like it to take care of this tournament. However, there must be a reasonable point when the round must end in order for the tournament to continue. So, rounds will last four days. That's about half a week and should be enough time to allow everyone to fit in a match around their usual schedules, so you are required to complete your games within that timeframe. You are expected to coordinate your own times to play.

    • If your match is done and you're ready to face your next opponent but don't want to wait for the rest of the slowpokes to finish their rounds, you don't have to. If you know who your next opponent is, you can go ahead and play whenever. However, don't get upset if other people don't finish their matches as fast as you, and if your turning in of results gets sloppy, I'm going to ask you to slow down for the sake of organization.

    • If the players can’t manage to complete their round it time, the player who made the most earnest effort to get the match to happen will advance while the player who came up short will be given a loss. In general, I ask that you be gentlemen about such situations. In the event that the players cannot agree upon who tried the hardest, I will be the final word. I don’t really like being the final word though, so please do your best to just solve it amongst yourselves.

      If, for some reason, there are extenuating circumstances that prevent a player from completing their match by day four, but they could do it on the next day or so, message me. I loathe time extensions on principle, but allowances will be made where necessary. However, if you fail to meet that new deadline, you will receive a loss.

    • When your match is done, both players must post in this thread to confirm the results.

    • Along with being responsible for managing their own scheduling issues, players are also responsible for managing their rules issues. Players can and should keep replays, logs, and screenshots of their matches saved in case of a dispute. If you have a rules question and don’t have cdr’s cellphone, Cockatrice has a link for quick judge answers. If there is a dispute that can’t be solved so easily, as with before, I am the final word.

    • Prizes are guaranteed for top four, and I'm hoping to be able to payout to top eight. This is coming out of pocket, so don't expect anything too fancy, but I'll definitely make it worth your while so long as you keep a realistic perspective. Though I don't expect it nor need it, if anyone feels like donating anything from cards to alters to playmats, feel free to PM me.

    • Event information is subject to change.

    I'd love to join but can't do so due to a planned holiday that might have me start 0-1 or even 0-2 without having the option to boot a PC. But I'd love to participate in future ones. Thanks for the work. :)

    Not sure how you mean that, but I'm just going to find a bracket that I can edit, randomize the names, and plug them in.

    Well, you could also just host the tournament on http://battlefy.com, which is why I was asking. Might be more convenient for you overall. I'm not sure how far you can customise tournament procedure there, but I'm pretty sure double elimination works.

    Yeah, since I'm not exactly sure how I'm physically making the bracket (short of Google or MSPaint), it's definitely worth a look. I'll check it out when I'm at home though because the work computer is basically crap for anything other than typing.

    And, with that in mind, if anyone feels like pointing out that I'm an idiot or knows of any resources that might be useful, please, feel free to shout out. I've participated in tournaments and run contests, but I haven't actually hosted something like this before. So, while I'm fairly confident of my ability to pull it off, it's also something of a trial run for me and I'm bound to miss something.

    @iamajellydonut: As suggested before, I'd like you to consider time zones. Because fuck playing at 3 am in the morning on a working day due to time zone differences.

    How many rounds is the tournament going to be? I'm without internet a few days in the middle of August.

    I mean, no matter which way you try to attack the problem, the only realistic solution I can see is to ignore the problem. Segregation will only end with one really lonely portion of the tournament. The best I can say is that we're basing match times off people's personal schedules and not a rigid "round starts at 6pm PST". Which means that they can play in the morning while you play in the afternoon or them in the afternoon and you at night and so on and so forth. It does suck, but the options are limited.

    The number of rounds will be based on participation, and it should work out similar to a Swiss event without a cut to top eight. If you need to take a break, depending on what the actual amount of time is, that should be fine. As stated, if you truly can't make a round in the scheduled amount of time, but you could make it the next day, just let me know and an extension could be allowed.
