Guys, if he runs it similar to the last one, you'll have AT LEAST a week to work on your decks. If you can't be online and building inside of a week, seriously consider not playing IMO. I think there were a couple of times we were given two weeks last time. You'll understand when the competition starts. Just sit back and enjoy the insanity ^_^

Thank you.

People who are new to this (which is just about everybody.. LOLz) are trying to wrap the competition around their brains I suppose.

Understand This Everyone:

1. I always tell you everything you need to know when the round starts.
2. I always try to give you LOTS of time to get your lists done.
3. I always take your feedback into consideration - even if this means that a rule has to be changed!

This contests has a priority of being fair and fun.

There WILL be a round or two where you'll want to reach through the computer and punch someone/something/me.... but, that's what makes this thing rediculously entertaining :)

Is there a 1 private message limit per entry? entry meaning the fixes for that particular round.

Rage always asking the GOOD questions! Yes. You've got to find a way to stuff it into a single PM. One tip I'll give you is to list the NEW list in decklist format and just explain the cards taken out of original list in a brief sentence format.

Example:

Removed: 2 Bebe, 1 Uxie, 3-3 Metagross, 3 Surskit
Added: 2 Cynthia's, 4-4 Blaziken, 1 Chatot

Something like that would show me EXACTLY what got switched-up. Then, you only have to worry about explaining how your changes made the deck good/better.

I got a question. What does PODS stand for?

Instead of EVERYONE VS. EVERYONE, the group is divided into subgroups. For example, there may be 80 contestants, but they'll be put in smaller groups of 10. Then 4 may be eliminated from each "POD" of 10.

That's easier to manage than taking the "TOP 60 from 100 entries" or something.

Instead, you take the "best 6 of 10" and go to the next pod and do the same.

Give him a chance to get back from Hawaii and get settled again. Online contests like this one take a TON of time to plan and execute correctly. I don't think that any of the Iron Chef competitions lasted less than 4 months. Be patient.
 
RA, this sounds fun, and I do need help in getting back into deckbuilding, and I think this is the best way to start.

count me in!
 
Remember that your pm has 5000 characters limit. You do not want to pm RA at last minute and find out your pm is too long.
 
Might not matter, but:

This would probably have 1,000x more visibility if it weren't in a sub-board. Move this to the RTC or even make it's own board/sub-board for it and we'll get more sign-ups, imo.

Doesn't look to be that big of a problem though. :)
 
I think the last one run in the RTC had about 60 players in total. 107 is a pretty good number. It is NOT EASY to run these things, so I give RA massive props for doing this AGAIN.
