Online T1 Tourneys at #MagicLeague

[Koen]

Hello T1 players!

Sorry but I edited this original post since it was dated of July, but there are still tournaments as you can see in the latest post. Prizes are: 5,000 SharkShares for winner, 1,250 for finalist. SharkShares means store credit at the site of www.CardShark.com.

We are on IRC on /server irc.QuickNet.nl and /join #MagicLeague

More info on our site: www.Magic4You.nu/league

Greetings,

Hey Koen.  I was wondering if there was any chance if the start time of the tournament could change.  3 pm eastern is 1 pm here in the west coast, and I'm in the middle of work then.  I imagine that even some people on the east coast can't make it then.  Maybe staggering the start times would grab more attendence?  I certainly would like to play.

Thanks.

Hi, sorry for answering this a bit late, but it would be hard for us to run it later in the evening, because we, the organizers, are mostly European. So for us, this is definately the latest possible time. And due to the increase in interest in the T1 tournament lately, we are already having troubles going to sleep on time

But, if any one of you reading this has some TC-capabilities and rules knowledge, you are welcomed to contact me and TC the tournament at a later time in the evening.

Greetings,

Koen

Next one is Monday, October 28, 4 pm Eastern Time (= 22:00 Central European Time)

This will be a single-elimination T1 Prize Tournament.
More info about future tournaments will appear on:

Further, I was thinking about us (=you & MagicLeague) running the T1ToC in our league as a tourney where you need to obtain an invitation for. Like, 1st and 2nd place of a weekly T1 tourney gain invitations to it. And I could make a seperate T1 rating and the Top 10 is invited to the T1ToC. This are just some ideas, other suggestions are welcome.

A separate T1 rating would be nice, since I would probably have the best T1 rating there (it's already over 1700, from only T1 games).

I'll be eligible for the J1 test the 6th, so it won't be too long before I can start judging the T1 prize minis--since I live on the east coast, that might work out better for everybody.  

edit: the one problem with weekly qualifiers is that some students (like me) will *never* be able to attend due to our schedules (I'm already missing all the T1 prize minis because I have class from 5-6:30 mondays  )
