Community concept
In this event, Old School communities are competing against each other to win the Community Cup. An entire community, and not a person, wins the Cup. Communities get points for wins in the Spike bracket, and for spice votes from judges in the Spice bracket.
If you are not part of a Canadian community, that’s okay. You will still be able to play with other Outsiders as a community.
The winning community picks the charity
At the end of the tournament, the charity chosen by the community with the highest average points per person receives all entry fees and raffle proceeds. (Charity subject to review by organizers. Please choose something Canadian with an online donation link.)
The organizers will identify a national Canadian charity in the event the outsiders win.
Community scoring
At the end of the tournament, Community scores are determined by adding:
- 1 point per members’ match wins in the Spike bracket
- 1 point per members’ spice votes in the Spice bracket
These points go towards their community’s score. If you aren’t part of the 6 Canadian Old School communities represented, your points go towards the outsiders.
After that, your score is divided by the number of members playing for the community. Communities must have a minimum of 3 players.
Spice votes
Each of the 4 organizers (and one guest) will vote for spicy decks. Each organizer will have votes equal to half the number of participants.
Prizes
Prize cards will be mailed to a representative from each community to decide how to best get cards to their members.
Participation prizes
Each player will get a stamped Unlimited Forest. Each Forest will reflect how well your community did.
- First place: golden, stamped Unlimited forests.
- Second place: silver, stamped Unlimited forests.
- Third place: bronze, stamped Unlimited forests.
- Everyone else: stamped Unlimited forest.
Other prizes
- The player with the best record in the Spike bracket will receive a special prize card commemorating their victory. (Breakers: Community points average, GW%)
- The player with spiciest deck (chosen from 5-0s by organizers) will receive a special prize card commemorating their feat.
- The player with the best record in the Spice bracket will receive a special prize card commemorating their victory. (Breakers: Community points average, GW%)
- The player with the coolest play/boardstate/win condition/whatever (share your anecdotes in Discord) will receive a special prize card commemorating their feat (as determined by judges).
