Welcome
back to DeathJester’s Dojo. This week
I’m here to bring the results from the
“Best Team in Jacksonville, FL”
Tournament that took place at the
beginning of the month. Normally, I
would have posted this much
earlier but there were a few extenuating
circumstances that prevented me from
doing so.
As you know by now, my
good friend Elmo Gonzales and I have
started two tournament tours in Florida:
“The Best Player in…” and “The Best Team
in…” Tours. These tournaments are
designed strictly for bragging rights
and come along with some pretty nice
prizes. The team tournament is designed
in a unique way that not only encourages
teamwork but it also calls for a strong
team.
Each team in this
tournament is allowed only 4 players and
each team is required to pay $10 per
person ($40 per team). Each team is also
required to rank their members
participating from 1 to 4 (1 being the
best and 4 being the weakest of the 4)
secretly to the Head Judge of the
tournament. Each match-up will be 4
vs.4; each team’s players will be
matched up by their rank: 1 vs. 1, 2 vs.
2, 3 vs. 3, and 4 vs. 4 respectively.
The number of rounds depends on teams
are present. This tournament is run with
a swiss-type tournament structure. Now,
at this particular event there were 5
teams and we decided to have 5 rounds.
We seat each team across
from each other from 1 to 4. Matches are
best 2 out of 3 and each match win that
it accumulated by whichever team is
recorded as 1 point for the team. In any
given round, a team can only earn a
maximum of 4 points per team match. If
there is a tie (both teams win 2
individual matches), then each team is
to select a member of their team to play
in a tie-breaker match to determine the
victor in the round. These tie-breaker
matches are just like a regular match,
so both teams must choose carefully. The
winner of the tie-breaker match receives
1 point for his/her team. If there is
are any ‘byes’ for teams in this
tournament then the team will
automatically receive 4 points for the
round.
This process continues
until the two teams with the highest
scores are determined after x amount of
rounds. The Top 2 teams will then play
head-to-head to determine the winner of
the tournament. The winning team gets a
custom-made plaque stating that their
team is the best team in whichever city
we hold the tournament in. Only teams
from the city we are holding the
tournament in are allowed to
participate.
It’s a very innovative
format for team play and hopefully UDE
will encourage this type of thing for
the team craze we see in YGO.
At this tournament there
5 teams, the Top 2 teams at the end of
the day were:
-
Harold’s Crew from the Diamond Turf
store
-
Total Anarchy

This tournament came down
to a final tie-breaker match between
these two teams. Total Anarchy, being
the favorite to win in Jacksonville,
emerged victorious; not without a strong
fight from Harold’s Crew. Harold’s Crew
has a strong set of players who I’ve
become friends with after visiting
Jacksonville so many times. They are
solid players with a bright future in
this game.
Total Anarchy is a team
in which all of them are my good
friends, who I’ve known for quite a long
time. They are rising stars making a big
impact in the Florida Regional scene and
I’m confident that they will excel at
the 2006 National Championship this
year.
Though posting these
decklists a day before the format shift
may seem fruitless, there is some merit
to examining them. Those of you in
Florida who are trying to determine what
deck will make the Top tables at future
events will do well to remember that the
format will not change dramatically. The
metagame will take time to evolve and
will do so after each local/major event.
The majority of the decks above only
merely need to make a few minor
modifications to have their decks ready
for the next format.
Hopefully, this type of
tournament will catch on in the YGO
tournament scene so we can all enjoy the
benefits of team play. Magic: The
Gathering holds major tournaments with
teams; why can’t YuGiOh do the same?
That’s it for this week
everyone! Until next time remember to
play hard, think about your moves, and
most importantly…have fun!
