The ADHD Team Challenge II

Yes people, here it is again! After a very succesful first ADHD Team Challenge, we, Team ADHD, challenge the other teams to compete for the title 'Best Legacy Team of The Netherlands' (yes, even if you're German...). The last Team Challenge we won ourselves, but we want to give you a fighting chance to steal the title from us.

The most important improvement compared to last time is the tournament set-up. This time we decided to elivate the team aspect even more. This means this tournament won't be DCI sanctioned and you can only participate with a team of 3 people.



Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out!
It's not possible to enter this tournament by yourself. If you don't have a team and wish to compete, you can sign up for 'Team Wanted'. Here we put all the teamless people who can contact eachother to form a team. These people can also be adressed to fill any gaps in existing teams if someone drops.

Tournament set-up:
The set-up of the tournament will look like any normal tournament: there will be a couple of swiss rounds, followed by top4/top8. However, instead of players teams will be paired against eachother. For as far as possible, we will manually pair teams against eachother so Team Unicorn 1 will not be paired against Team Unicorn 2 for instance; further we will persuade to stick to the 'correct'' way of pairing. When teams are paired against eachother, within the teams the individual pairings will be randomly determined. During a match you may consult your teammembers for advice.

Deckbuilding:
We chose not to have a Team Unified tournament: you can just play any Legacy legal deck you find the most fun to play. This is also the reason why we can't DCI sanction it.

General important information:
Location: Café de Twee Klaveren, De Clerqstraat 136, Amsterdam
Cost: 10 euro per person (30 euro per team)
When: Sunday, June 13th
Doors open: 10:45
Start tournament: 11:15
Headjudge: Teun Zijp
Awesomefactor: OVER 9000!!!!
Although this tournament is not sanctioned, we will apply the DCI rules without any amendments.

The venue is a café: food and drinks with high quality are available at reasonable prices. Consuming any food or beverages you brought with you is strictly prohibited. If you are caught consuming any home-brought food or drinks you will be kicked out of the venue. This would mean you can't reach your seating, meaning your team will be forced to drop. So don't do it.

Prices:
The team that reaches first place will win the ADHD Team Challenge Cup until the next Team Challenge and have its name graved into the foot of the cup. The winners will also receive a nice fake-gold medal, the running up team will receive a fake-silver medal. There will also be various prizes in the form of boosters or staples, but I cannot go in-depth on what they are, but I can tell you that when we've paid all the expenses, the rest of the money will be put into the prizes. So it should be quite alot.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.

-On behalf of Team ADHD, Merrin and Joost

Mmmm.

Maybe I should invite a couple of guys and smash face with team IcBE :)

Nah, I think I should just join or found my own Dutch team. Looks interesting and a lot of fun though. I'll just have to see if I'l return on the satherday or the sunday from my climbing vacation in Italy. I might actually come to play (in team Wanted if nessesary) if I return on satherday, I'll just have check that with a couple of friends.

I think they'll opt for watching Italian chicks, drinking esspresso's and a temperature about 15 degrees higher though.

God, you're gay. Now grow a pair and come and get your behind smushed. Did I mention the Awesomefactor of this tournament is over 9000?

That argument wasn't wasted on me.

However, doing a threesome with 2 Italian chicks after sipping some strong coffee and climbing a mountain or 2 rates higher in the eyes of a couple of friends (since last year that had an awesome factor of way over 9050, sorry about that). Let's just say the Dolomites aren't the only mountains we were planning on climbing.......

I'll see if I can ride my own special painted "terror kuikentje" towards italy. Even if it's only for the sientific experiment to see how well you can play magic right after a 15 hour non-stop drive though Europe :)

I'll come back about that later this year though.

Good news for the prizesupport people! Sven from Manamaze likes the idea of this tournament and will sponsor us by donating 8 Legacy rares to the prizesupport.

And to thank Sven for his gifts we're all willing to at least take a peek at his website aren't we? It also has a nice 'Asian-search' feature for the people who like that sort of thing.

I have cross-posted this into our UK Legacy forums - see if we can send at least three representatives of the Self-Ordained UK Legacy Team!

Actually it doesn't. If he's gay, and I invite him for some behind-smushing, that's just being friendly over here in Amsterdam :tongue:.

True thing. If I actually were gay (and would go to Amsterdam instead of chasing skirts in Italy), I think I'd actually welcome some friendly behind-smushing :)
