0.17 Tournament

See this post on CDO for more details. The tournament home page is online and shows the rule changes from the 0.16 tournament. We'll make the 0.17 release itself shortly before the tournament begins. Best of luck to everyone playing!

double melee again?

Ouch, that's some serious trolling right out of the gate!

25 points for a win in which you become the champion of Ru and then abandon Ru before entering any branches other than the Temple and the Lair (HERETIC banner III).

That should be Spiteful III and the points should be listed under Banners.

After some discussion, we agreed to remove the 25 point bonus for the Spiteful tier 3 banner. The rules page and scoring scripts have been updated to reflect this. Thanks for pointing out that omission from the banner text.

So a bit of a late announcement this time, although I realize that historically tournaments are only announced about a week ahead of time, but would it be possible to up that warning time to around 2 weeks?

[gammafunk]

Yes, we'll try to be closer to a two weeks heads-up to players next time. I should have just put up a simple announcement on CDO after that date was decided near the end of October to give players an extra few days notice, although a full two weeks wasn't possible this time. Sorry if this doesn't work for anyone's schedule, and hopefully we'll be able to coordinate the 0.18 release a little more smoothly!
