Using an online voice chat utility, such as Skype or Google Hangouts, improves the playing experience considerably.

For this event, each player will submit two 490 point armies. VC (formerly C3V/SoV) allowed, no Marvel for all formats. You may not use the same army card in both armies. Standard 24-space startzone rules apply.

Format:
  • Before each game, there will be a dice-off, done by the tournament organizers. The winner of the dice-off chooses first army choice or second army choice.
  • On odd rounds, players will pick their own army from the four armies available. (a.k.a. "bring 2")
  • On even rounds, players will pick their opponent's army from the four armies available. (a.k.a. "pick your poison")
The regular season will last four weeks, with one game each week. After the regular season ends there will be a single elimination bracket for the top finishers.

Oooh...

Time to start formulating armies...

:woot: Signed up! :woot:
I am excited to play after failing in the quarter finals of season 6.​

I have signed up! Woot

On odd rounds, players will pick their own army from the four armies available. (a.k.a. "bring 2")
On even rounds, players will pick their opponent's army from the four armies available. (a.k.a. "pick your poison")


Please be aware of this, that the rounds alternate from picking for yourself to picking the army your opponent will use.

Signed up! Can't wait! :woot:

What are the dates that this will run? I have several lengthy and prohibitive time commitments in ~2 months.

~superfrog, hoping it fits his awfully busy schedule.

Having the "What the crap do you do with this army" is certainly an angle I'm considering.

~Dysole, not quite sure why there's eight maps in a 4 week tourney (unless of course those are playoff maps)
 
Re: Online Heroscape Season 7 - Picks and Poison - sign up n

May and June. (June being the playoffs, Semi finals, etc.)
 
Re: Online Heroscape Season 7 - Picks and Poison - sign up n

Yes 8 maps, 4 for the regular season and 4 for the playoffs. All random ofcourse. :)
 
Re: Online Heroscape Season 7 - Picks and Poison - sign up n

I hope I get into the finals and win. :D Just to play on all the maps. And the prizes.
 
Re: Online Heroscape Season 7 - Picks and Poison - sign up n

Well, it looks like that first week (of May 5) is too busy for me. I have something at least until 8 every night. I don't think running 9-11 games would make my parents very happy...

After that week, though, I'm considerably free-er. If the tourney doesn't start until that next week, I could possibly do it. Or maybe I can sign up as a sub.

If you are unsure of the commitment (which usually amounts to a couple of hours each week, depending on how fast you play), then by all means sign up as a sub. Almost all of our past subs have been rotated in, so there is a very good chance that you will get some action.

  • On odd rounds, players will pick their own army from the four armies available. (a.k.a. "bring 2")
  • On even rounds, players will pick their opponent's army from the four armies available. (a.k.a. "pick your poison")
Please be aware of this, that the rounds alternate from picking for yourself to picking the army your opponent will use.

My advice to participants is to try to balance your armies. If your armies play pretty evenly against each other, then they are a good fit for this format.

Yes, having one army that totally dominates another likely will put you in a bad situation for the tournament. Especially if you lose the dice roll in the Pick your Poison rounds.
 
Re: Online Heroscape Season 7 - Picks and Poison - sign up n

Are we gonna know the maps before sign ups? Are we just suppose to guess based on the pool? I'm guessing this is to deter us from making map specific armies?

All of the maps will be used. There are 4 regular rounds, 4 playoff rounds. 8 maps.

Army 1: Marro Hive
Army 2: Rechets of Bogdan

As balanced against each other as you can get!
