    Warmachine / Hordes League 2nd Season @ GOB

    League run between Saturday 4th May - 8th June, 2013

  • $8 entry. Prizes support: Store Credit (how much depends on participants)
  • Starting May 4th, 2013. The last day of league play is scheduled for June 6th, with the concluding event on June 8th.
  • Anyone wants to join the league, please stop by the store to sign up.

    Detail is below:
    For those of you familiar with the GOB League seasons from last year, we are bringing back the Escalating Point Cap. For those unfamiliar with this, each week will have a maximum point size for any given match for all players. League games are NOT required to be played at the maximum size; players are allowed to play at the point cap or smaller games. Team games have a different point cap which is based on per player and NOT per team. Here is the schedule for the point cap:

    May 4th-10th: 25 points; 15 points per player (team games)
    May 11th-17th: 35 points; 25 points per player (team games)
    May 18th-24th: 50 points; 35 points per player (team games)
    May 25th-31st: 75 points; 50 points per player (team games)
    June 1st-6th: 100 points; 75 points per player (team games)

    Unbound games are an exception to the above point caps. Every player may partake in 1 solo Unbound game (one-on-one) and 1 team Unbound game each week without restriction to the point cap.

    Also making a return will be the Opponent Restriction. Players may play against a given opponent a number of times (over the course of the league) equal to how many total opponents they have WILL have faced after that match. For example, Player A plays against Player B once, now Player A can play against any opponent 1 time. When Player A plays against Player C, Player A may now play against any opponent twice. NOTE: since the Opponent Restriction is based on how many opponents you will have faced after your match, your restriction is increased by the number of members on your opposing team in Team Games.

    Booster Draft (Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash and Dragon's Maze) $13 entry

    Each player get 3 booster packs Mixed Return to Ravnica, Gatecrash and new set Dragon's Maze.

    At the start of a Booster Draft, each player opens a booster pack and picks the card he or she wants from it. (You can't see the cards that the other players draft.) Then each player passes the rest of the pack to his or her left. You pick up the pack that was passed to you, select a card, and pass the rest to your left. This process continues until all the cards have been drafted. Next, each player opens a second pack, but this time, you pass the pack to your right. After all those cards are drafted, you open the third pack and pass to the left again

    Once all the packs have been drafted, players build decks from the cards they selected, adding as many basic lands (Plains, Islands, Swamps, Mountains, and Forests) to their decks as they like. Each deck must have at least 40 cards.

    Each pair of players then plays a match, which consists of the best two out of three games. In the next round, the winners play against other winners (and the losers against the losers, if you like). The player who wins all three roundsor all three matchesis the winner. It's a great way to spend a few hours with your buddies.

    Prize support :
    - June's prize foil: Izzet Charm
    - 1st and 2nd place receive one prize card each plus booster (quantity depends on participations)
    - Door prize: The tournament organizer will award the remaining two prize cards to two players that did not place first or second.
