Hi All,
I'm Roman, the administrator of this facility. No wait, that's Lando's line. I'm Roman, the administrator of the Epic Duels Tournament at GenCon.
Thrilled that there's interest from this group, as I know it was Epic Duels that got Tim, Deri and me into SWM. We were all avid SWM players in the early days, but while the 2 of them went on to dominate SWM Tourneys for years to come, I'm still playing Epic Duels.
Anyways, I'll post text files of the rules and the decks later tonight, but in short:
- We are registered at GenCon but not catalogued. - Friday at 10pm, location TBD -- will update on this board as soon as I have a more specific location (might be Friday so check back). If SWM will be concluded by 10pm Friday, it might make sense to squat in their tables. - Should be 2-3 hours. Every team will play at least 2 games of 45 minutes each, then we'll move to a playoff round. - 2v2 Format. Either come with a teammate or you will be assigned one. - League of Legends draft: I'll post the complete rules and provide a link but in short, all the decks involved are deemed equal to each other. For every game, each team first bans 3 decks, then each team selects their 2 decks from the remaining decks. You can end up playing the same decks every game if you want. - All games will be played on the Geonosis Arena map. - Essentially each team will roll off and decide if they want to go 1st, or choose which side of the map to be on, or if they instead want to choose their draft order (complete detailed rules to be made available later).
- 28 balanced decks: -- Only Dooku, Mace, Anakin and Yoda from the original game are to be included, the others are deemed too strong or too weak to be included. -- 12 Fan-made expansion decks including Lando, Tarkin, Jabba, Grievous, Ahsoka, Cad Bane and others. -- 12 decks from the fan-made "Expanded Universe Expansion" including decks for the likes of Kyle Katarn, Dash Bane, Darth Bane, Prince Xizor and others. There's even a Bastila Shan and Darth Malak, authored by Deri!
Prize: The winning team gets the set of 24 fan-made decks being used in the tournament. If you are an avid SWM player, you already have the figures to go with them!
