This format sounds like a blast. Something really different. But, if the rest of the show is anything like last year, I may only play 1 round - last year I dropped to help run the Modified tournament.
That's exactly my problem. =/I'd love to contribute. I'd just rather not contribute in a 2 hour drive each way every week. Hopefully the local league will be a bit better in the next season.
I think they don't want the same thing to happen as last year. In Europe, there has been one card dominating the format, much worse than Plox dominated Modified. As a consequence the card has been banned in the US Professor Cup. If they make some constructed format with limitations, they would risk to have such a gap again. They can't be aware of anything if they create a new format just for one tournament. So imho it's more fun to have a format which is a little luck based, than to build a good deck for the cup (I played Breloom/Donphan which has won in the US Profcup) but go 3-3 because of losing 3 times to the broken Wormadam. PUI wants us to have a tournament that's fun and full of variety, and limited is the best way to prevent repeating of last year's problems.:thumb:I was sort of hoping that the rules would be similiar to last year's where we have to create our own decks. As people who me can tell you, I am a mad scientist with making decks. I have no luck at drafts... :lol:

Hooray! Now I don't have to spend months thinking about what I'm going to play in the cup!
We play with our 40 card deck until Swiss is over, and then shuffle our 80 cards in with our Single Elimination first round opponent to make another 40 card deck? Interesting.
