OK, for those of you who have come to the B&B Game Store League in Eureka, in addition to the weekly league, 3 times a year, they have a "series" of tourneys which cumulate in a large store credit prize.
Cost to enter the events is $5.00 weekly, no weekly prizes (OK, everyone gets a pack for playing) but $2 per player is put towards the "FINAL 8" event.
In the Winter Season at Eureka, over $360 in store credit was given to the top 4 finishers who were...
Jack C. ($180) Ranked #1 Masters in MO as of this date
Zak K. ($90) Yeah, My kid...86th in NA? 1st (or 4th) in my heart
Jason F ($50) I can rarely beat him. Very Rarely.
Brian H ($40) Ranked #10 in Juniors in NA as of this date
Past winners of the top prize were Joe C. and Zak K.
A certain Meganium45 was knocked out of the T4 by Brian H. Great job Bubba!
Starting on Monday January 14th, Eureka will be starting its next session, the "Winter League" that will run for 12 weeks, and cumulate on the 13th week with a top 8 event, in which the prizes will be given out. Minimum top prize for the winner, $125.00. Remaining entries are divided so that the total is 50% to the top, 25% to 2nd, and, if available, 3rd, 4th, and possibly credit for 5th-8th...If 3rd gets above $50, we move the prizes down to 5th-8th...still no limit on 1st and 2nd though!!!
The "qualifying" tourneys are unsanctioned events (because a certain M45 plays), are done one game, and the tourneys are 3 swiss rounds. At the end of 3 swiss rounds, points are awarded for all players.
1st and 2nd place get 3 points
3rd and 4th place get 2 points
5th and lower get 1 point
This is NOT per division, but is overall. Weekly events are age-modified swiss, but rankings are done with the entire tourney as a whole. (1st place Junior may be 1st overall, 3rd overall, or 5th overall)
Points are added up on all 12 weeks, and poof, week 13 is the playoff (announced in week 12)
Play for it on week 13, and on we go.
We will also be starting this on Wednesday January 16th in St. Peters, MO.
We are reducing the qualifying weeks by one, in order to accomodate the Great Expectations PreReleases happening on February 4th at B&B Eureka, and February 6th at B&B St. Peters.
Points in tourneys ONLY count for the store you attend. Points are not added between the stores, but you can certainly play and qualify in both locations.
The top system rewards players who are there week in and week out, and do well.
In Eureka, we have had 16 different players make the top 8 cut over the last 3 sessions, and 8 different players win store credit! Anyone can do it!
See the stores for details.
Come, you do get to play against me from time to time!
I will be posting weekly results (and with player permission) deck choices.
