The Matchups

Because we are playing a tournament that emphasizes playing for fun and gaining bragging rights for the reminder of the year, we felt that a different system than the always present Swiss was needed.

It's very simple: you challenge some other participant of the tournament. This participant should normally accept your challenge*. You'll inform us, we set you up on a table.People that are too shy or just cant find an opponent will be paired off at random in the first round, and swiss from then on.

We set up a forum for pre-tournament trash talk and challenges here. There is one limitation on the challenge match on Sunday morning: you can only challenge people who are up to 15 places up or down from you, and the top 5 has to accept one challenge. If you've been challenged by several opponents, you may choose among them, but you have to accept one.

So, the timing looks like this:

Saturday
challenge - unlimited
challenge - unlimted
swiss

Sunday
challenge - max 15
swiss

*P-ID understands that you want to refuse a challenge: you think the challenger is an ass, you are too impressed by his manboobs, you don't feel like fighting a 400 gnoblar army, you know he just can't be beaten ... P-ID is not to be held responsible for the automatically gained bragging rights of said challenger.
