August 3, 2016, 6pm PT/9pm ET
Join us for a Mixed Triples Exhibition tournament, exploring several community formats for Hearthstone. This is a chance for both league players and new entrants to experiment with our new format. We encourage you to bring your friends.
Hang out in our Discord group while you play.
Teams
- Teams are 3 people. Each person on your team will play 1 game per match. Winning 2 out of 3 games wins the match.
- For this tournament, players will register individually and we will assign teams balanced by experience level.
- You can spectate your teammates and coach them during the games, but obviously, you may not spectate opponents.
- Teams may not use a hero class more than once per match. (i.e. Each of your three players must use a deck from a different class during the best of 3 match.)
- Winning teams should take screenshots of their victories to validate in the case of a dispute.
Formats
The formats for the 3 games in each match are chosen from 5 possible formats:
Each team will veto one format, with the higher seeded team announcing first, leaving 3 formats for the match. Each format will be played by 1 of your 3 players for their single game against an opponent. Your team may decide which player plays which format.
Simultaneous Announcement of Player Assignments
Once the 3 formats have been determined, each team posts a message to the dropbox channel in Discord with their lineup: {format, player, hero} x 3. Once both teams have submitted, they share their choices with the other team. Admins can check the dropbox submissions upon request. Deviation from submission will result in a forfeit.
Example Match
Decks
- Decks may be modified throughout the tournament, and deck lists do not need to be submitted for this event.
Schedule & Forfeits
- Tournament play will begin at 9pm ET, after check-in is complete.
- Brackets are not finalized until notified.
- If you are not available to play a match within a 15 minute grace period, your opponent may request a forfeit from the tournament admins.
- Double forfeits (neither player online) in deadlocked matches will result in elimination for both teams.
