We'll probably use the starter decks so that even people who don't have a large collection can participate on an even footing.

M$50 to enter, with that mana redistributed as prizes among the winners. Plus you can profit more by betting in the markets about the tournament.

This'll be run asynchronously over the course of a few days/weeks, so you can simply find a time when you and your opponent are free to play a game.

We'll stream some of the games online for live betting in markets about them.

Please leave a comment below if you'd like to participate.

Further coordination will take place here:

I would like to join. I will need an explanation for how to send the 50 manifold dollars, though.

predicted YES

@MartyDettmann just send Isaac your arena tag on discord

@MartyDettmann go here, choose the tournaments role, scroll down to the mtga tournament channel

predicted YES

@DavidChee ah yes, he must go here

I'd lean toward lower number of matchups, personally. Skill varies widely, and setting up times to play someone could be challenging. You could still do best of 3 for each matchup, if people want to play more.

For your further betting needs:

I'd like to play too

predicted YES

@GustavoMafra Wonderful! Send me M$50 and your Arena username and you're in.

bought Ṁ10 of YES

I'm also interested!

predicted YES

@TylerColeman Ok, well sign up following the instructions below and you're welcome to play!

bought Ṁ1,098 of YES

That brings us up to ten!

Any last-minute signups should message me ASAP.

bought Ṁ20 of NO

Alright, that's everyone signed up who had expressed interest. I'll leave this open for a little while longer just in case.

DesTiny has also generously offered to cover the entrance fee for someone else, if there's anyone low on mana who'd like to play.

@IsaacKing isaac why did you buy no 0-0

@DesTiny Encouragement for others to buy YES, and then make it happen?

predicted NO

7 confirmed entrants so far: Conflux, journcy, myself, Odoacre, Austin, TobiasVyseri, and DesTiny.

Conflux, Austin, and @TobiasVyseri still need to send me their Arena usernames.

predicted NO

@DavidChee @JacobDean LMK if you still plan on playing.

predicted YES

@IsaacKing Sent you my signup information on Discord.

predicted NO

Alright, let's do this. To officially enter, please send me a manalink for M$50. I'll cut off registration in a couple days, and that'll give us our final player count for the purposes of resolving this market. (If it turns out more people want to join in partway through, I'll just run a second tournament for them afterwards.)

Please also send me your Arena username as well.

The best way to reach me privately is on Discord as IsaacKing#7376. I've also asked @Austin whether we could get a dedicated channel in the Manifold Discord server. If you're not on Discord, let me know and I'll coordinate with you in some other way. (Email, Facebook, Twitter, whatever you prefer.)

(You can create a manalink at https://manifold.markets/links, and you need to send it to my privately because otherwise someone else could claim it before I see it.)

Also, please let you know whether you'd prefer that this tournament lean towards the "lots of games" side of things (meaning we'll either play Swiss or round robin), or the "fewer games" side of things (meaning we'll play single or double elimination).

predicted NO

Oh, and I need the #numbers that come after your Arena username as well. People will need it in order to send a game request against you.

@IsaacKing I'm currently travelling and will be back this Sunday. Don't have access until then. Hope that's not a problem.

predicted NO

@Odoacre I don't want to wait that long for registration, but that's fine for actual games, we can just do everyone else's first.

I'd like to play

bought Ṁ10 of YES

I'd play as well.

predicted NO

5 people have confirmed they're in so far. That's enough for me to want to run the tournament; I'll set it up in a few days.

predicted NO

@IsaacKing I guess I haven’t actually confirmed it! I’ll play.
