Sorry, what us back to basics?
If multi format is out, then type 2 all the way!

Back to Basics is a format that limits the number of hard to get cards: No Q's, etc, to put everyone on a more level playing field.

No Swordmaster rips? I thought they were formerly Lex's favorite? Just a suggestion, why don't you all just carry one of the pre con decks with a 10 card provision, meaning swap out any 10 non Basic Attack and Block cards to customize your decks. You can add toolbox, Watcher/Hunters, UB UD attacks etc. Just a thought. Don't Kirk Matunas the messenger. (Did I spell that right?)

Yeah, uggh, the pre-con decks can be painfull to play. I think if I had to play Coltec one more time, I'd quite instead!

Lol I guess under my suggestion everyone would play Coltec, especially if they could swap some cards. Except for that formerly-someone character stubbornly clinging to the myth that Damon Case is awesome. My suggestion was mainly fueled by how difficult building so many different decks last year had been. Simplify is the word for today. Yesterday it was formerlylexsucks. Although formerlylex does grill a pretty good steak.

OK, as promised... The Gathering 2015; Indianapolis Who: The remaining few immortals. To enter, register with Jeff (Burt Macklin; aka Lex) online or at the convention. What: An informal tournament that occurs over Gencon weekend 2015. The tournament gives players a chance to play in an open, Back-to-Basics format, multi day event, with no ejection criteria (i.e. losing by head shot does not eject you from the tournament). A player may play as much or as little as they want. The player’s Gencon badges are marked with a ‘ ’ to indicate that they are part of the tournament. A list of players enrolled in the tournament will be provided prior to the start of the tournament for additional recognition. Rules: Back To Basics - Maximum deck size of 75 cards; Minimum deck size of 44 cards. The ONLY Pre Games allowed are a Persona, Weapon of choice(and a off hand weapon per the rules) and a Watcher/Hunter if desired. No rips, Q’s, A&T’s, Gathering’s etc… When: The tournament will commence on Thursday, July 30th @ 8AM and ends on Saturday, August 1st 11:59PM 2015. Please meet at the Highlander area (TBD) to pick up special cards only playable at The Gathering 2015 between 8:00AM-9:00AM Thursday. Where: A player may challenge another player anywhere in the Indianapolis Convention Centre. The challenged player may accept or decline the challenge. (Although catching your foe off holy ground while unarmed is encouraged please be courteous. You may not challenge another player if they are already in another dual or playing in another tournament). Duals may only last 30 minutes according to standard rules. Players must keep time themselves. After 30 minutes of regulation play if a winner has not yet been declared, End Game ensues per the rules. Challenge accepted: Players begin play immediately. Once the dual has finished, fill out the score sheet according to scoring below. Scoring: • Head Shot in regulation; winner = 4 points: loser = 0 points • Win (no Head Shot) in regulation; winner=2 points: loser = 0 points • Head Shot in End Game; winner= 3 points: loser = 1 point • Win (no head shot) in End Game; winner= 2 points: loser = 1 point • Similar to hockey (NHL) if you make it to End Game you are guaranteed (1) point. It is how many points the winner can manage in End Game that is coveted. Challenge refused: • The refusing player MAY give the player who initiated the challenge a Holy Ground 2015 promo, and skip the scoring below (the opponent who refuses the dual must sign, date and timestamp the Holy Ground). They may not be challenged again, by anyone, for one hour. BOTH players score 0 points. If a player refuses the challenge and does not choose to use a Holy Ground or have any to give, the challenged player receives 0 points and the challenging player receives 1 point. Each player is given a scoring sheet to track: • Who they've played; • Time of the dual and if a holy ground was used the time it was played to determine a player not having to accept another challenge for 1 hour. • The results. • The score. Each player then signs the other’s score sheet. The winner is determined based on the best score over the weekend. ***Pending confirmation from Steve on if there are any rules questions that cannot be decided, will we be able to text him? Happy Head hunting!

I really like the rules, thanks for putting in the work Jeff Lex Santa something or other One quick question: are you required to use the same deck and / or persona or are you allowed to change it up?

Executive decision. You must register your immortal at the start of the tournament and play the same immortal all the way through UNLESS you get your noggin lopped. Then you may use a different immortal if you choose (although, you may use the same immortal if you like as well). So, if you are willing to give up the points intentionally for a Head Shot or you just get lopped because of your inferior deck building skills, you may change immortals. Savvy?
