Magic The Gathering - Draft [AFK/unplugg - Official Respawn Competition
Type Player-based
Round style Swiss
Planned to start Saturday, 9:00pm
Duration 4
Operators Zardoz
Notes Magic The Gathering draft! $20 entry and you keep the cards you draft. 8 players per box. Remaining 12 booster packs will be distributed to the winners of that group.

So we're going to do an MTG draft. This means we'll buy a box of booster packs (We're still deciding whether it'll be Return to Ravnica or Theros), ask you guys to chip in for the cards, draft the cards, build decks and play!

We'll have enough basic land cards to lend you and we'll have some deck protectors available for sale on the day. Some of us should have life counters and dice to borrow if you need them.

For those who haven't played Magic before, we're happy to run you through some games. For those who have but haven't drafted, you draft by opening a booster pack, choosing a card, then passing around the table. The concept is that you pick cards that suit the deck you wish to build, then you play each other in a swiss-style tournament.

Info on booster drafts:

Planned to start Saturday, 8:00pm
Duration 0
Operators yoshiyoshi
Notes Can you be a Master Code Cracker?

This competition is an AFK, Pencil & Paper challenge. Anyone caught using a computer, phone, calculator etc will be summarily laughed at. Oh, and disqualified :-P

Essentially, competitors will be given an encrypted phrase to work out.
Don't panic, there are hints provided, you won't be left on your own!
When half of the contestants have deciphered the message, or time runs out, the round is over.

Dependent on number of competitors, there will be three rounds using different methods of deciphering the messages given to you.

Prize: Bragging Rights as the Master Code-Cracker of Hack-The-Planet! Oh, and a drink of your choice from the fridge purchased by yoshiyoshi, since it's going to be a very warm day :-)

Super Smash Bros. Melee
Type Player-based
Round style 4-Player Free-For-All
Planned to start Saturday, 11:00pm
Duration 0
Operators yoshiyoshi
Notes Bring on the Mayhem!

This competition is a straight-forward fight to the finish. Items will be on (but not frequent), and all characters may be used.

Each fight will be 4-player Free-For-All, starting with Time-Limited battles (to keep things moving), and eventually culminating in a no-time-limit, 6-life free-for-all battle in the final.

Courses will be chosen on the day (all stationary battlefields), but the final will be Hyrule Temple (bar popular protest).

The battles will be shown on the Respawn Projectors for all to see. But that's not as awesome as being the one to claim the glory!

Oh, and did I mention Streamed Via Projector?

Ready...? GO!

Tetris Friends Arena Competition
Type Player-based
Round style Double Elimination
Planned to start Saturday, 12:00pm
Duration 2
Operators
Notes Hey guys, gauging interest for a tetrisfriends.com arena competition.

Tournament Structure

The tournament will be hosted on tetrisfriends.com. It will be a single elimination tournament until only sixteen players remain; from then on, it will be double elimination.

Settings

Matches will be played in Arena on Tetris Friends under the following room settings: non-ranked, Expert Plus, no items, no maps.

Win Condition
Matches are first to 15 wins, win by 2. (In other words, to win a match, you must have at least fifteen game wins AND a two game lead on your opponent. If the score reaches 15 wins without a 2 win lead (e.g. 15 vs 14), the match continues until one player achieves the 2 win lead, upon which that player will win the match.)

In order to report results screenshots will need to be taken and posted in the applicable thread on the LAN forums.

Total Annhilation
Type Player-based
Round style Free for all or team vs team
Planned to start Saturday, 12:00pm
Duration 2
Operators
Notes There's a few ways to play

1. "Deathmatch" mode. Means if your Commander dies, you respawn again in a different location and start over. This is good for inexperienced players. Person/team with highest kill count after 1 hour wins.

2. Last Commander/Team standing. Pretty self explanatory.

Imposing a max 2 hour limit otherwise games can drag on forever.

For total chaos, I recommend all metal map :D

Conditions:
* TA with 3.1 patch only.
* The prize is Glorious Victory. :P
