This will be the next ROOT tournament for the 2012-2013 Season. If you want to join, post here, and I will give you a matchup for next week.

Players have suggested many rule modifications in the past. This month the rule modification is:
"Best 2 of 3 with Sideboard" - All decks follow T1 requirements with the exceptions that they may have "X" number of extra cards (X = equal to the number of LSs in the deck). At the beginning of each game both players will take "X" number of cards (can't be LSs) out of their decks and put them in play (face down) in their territories. Then shuffle all other cards back into their decks and redraw their opening hand of 8 cards. The players will play 2 (or 3 if necessary) games against each other, and report scores for all games.

Similar to last month, all posts made by Monday night/early Tuesday morning will be counted as official, unless it is contradicted by an opponent.

Week 5 (Final) Matchups:
MKC vs. jmhartz
RTSmaniac vs. red
Westy vs. slugfencer
Prof Underwood vs. Isildur
jbeers285 vs. bye

Thanks for the reminder. I added that to the rules. I also added everyone into the list so far

In.

I can also PM, text, call, fax, snail mail, Pony Express, rent a billboard, put up a Craigslist ad, send a clown, broadcast it on national television, Google bomb, send a homing pigeon, telegram, make a Powerpoint presentation, send a barbershop quartet, or use telepathy to relay that message to you as well. So, you know, there is absolutely no confusion at all.

Actually just the word "In" will do it. However if you want to send a Barbershop Quartet, just make sure that they sound as good as these young ladies. That high note at the end is just AWESOME!

Thanks,
KingLeo

Could you ask that again differently? I don't really understand your question.

They are mixed into your deck. You take them out at the beginning of the game and set them face down in your territory. You do not see them all game. Then for the 2nd game and 3rd games, you can change which cards you want to set aside in your sideboard depending on what you learn from the first game.

Since it's best 2 outta 3, are we going to stick with the :45 min time limit?

RTSmaniac · « **Reply #16 on:** January 10, 2013, 12:03:41 AM »

Can we put extra doms in sideboard?

No, playing online is not as fast as playing in person, which is why games have the longer time limit in ROOT. So the time limits for games are still the normal 2 hrs (unless both players agree to a different time limit prior to the game).

Can we put extra doms in sideboard?

For this month, you can put any card you want in your sideboard. However, T1 deck building rules apply AFTER you decide which cards to put in your sideboard. Therefore if you have a 56 card deck, then you are only allowed 7 LSs in the deck that you actually use. If you switch in a dominant from your sideboard for your second game, then you need to switch out one of your dominants from the first game into your sideboard to make up for it.

So i expect to see some Destructions, maybe some Havest Times?

What would a decent sideboard consist of?

I would expect to see the average deck putting certain doms like the ones listed above, site access, specialty counters ect.

Fun thing about sideboards is you can really throw people off by having like seven sites in your sideboard and turning your seemingly harmless deck into a site lockout nightmare

But.... you get the point players can really do alot with 7-8 cards.

Master KChief · « **Reply #20 on:** January 10, 2013, 03:45:29 PM »

I also would like to mention it just might be even more beneficial now to go with 57 card decks, for both the extra dom and sideboard slot.

I will join if there ends up being an odd number of other people (as there are currently). I'm pretty busy, but I should have time for some games this month; however, I don't want to create a bye for anyone and then become too busy to play later on. I figure if there would be a bye anyway, then I might as well try to get games in.

FWIW, I do actually want to play, and I will do my best to get my games in, but I just want to be careful, as my schedule may be shifting considerably in the next few weeks.

I guess I'm joining
