no / as soon as registration has been closed, all participants get the necessary infos (my account no. / adress), then decklists and deckcodes will be gathered and tournament is rdy to start

one day left for higher ranked players to sign in. Grid actually looks like:

1. Tabris -1-
2. Payron -3-
3. goblinpiledriver -4-
4. Nastaboi -5-
5. coldcrow -18-
6. r4nd0m / r4nd0mizer -19-

Sorry Christoph :-[, me culpa - i haven't expected that many interested person as it took quite a while to find 8 participants last year. So LasH had the chance to participate even w/o any HLL ranking with a "wildcard" in last year's Online Invitational Championship in which he reached the finals

this year it's way different, unexpected we have 9 ranked players already + one other GP Top 8 player who wants to join, the tournament takes place with the 8 highest ranked HLL Online Players

i pondered a while if i should change the structure, e. g. elimination contest for seat 5-8 or extend he number of seats for the tournament but decided to stay with this structure of 8 players as usual, so actually pyyhttu fills the last spot of the tournament as long no higher-ranked player wants to join

in short meaning: no wildcards this year

??? I have nothing to do with the online tournaments but this looks really awkward to me. Nice move.

I also have a huge amount of chinese and japanese foil HL staples not listed yet,  which I would like to downgrade to english foil. Just let me know!

Vazdru

@MMD - you are right, my mistake
i should have made clear(er) that the "special invitation" has been an invitation to sign in which doesn't guarantee taking part in the action
if 2 Top 20 players would like to join i had even to disinvite pyyhttu and LasH - that's part of the tournament structure

that's why i said sorry ... any suggestion for doing anything else @ MMD  ???

First of all: I would really like to have nemavera in this tourney, that's why i've given him that "special notice"

by mistake i announced this pointer as "special invitation"
i gave such a pointer to nemavera, pyyhttu, LasH, ChristophO and randomizer
so why should i replace pyyhttu, LasH or randomizer by nemavera ? would this solve this "problem" - imo no it doesn't cause everyone of them got the same "special invitation"
so I've kept the standing order untouched which means the highest ranked players in the ladder have the right to join the tournament nevertheless everyone is welcome to sign in

Again, it´s not my part of business. My name is not nemavera and I am not a friend of him (I don´t even know him except that I watched the final). But if I would have invited someone to a tournament I would have made sure that he can attend in case he accepts the invitation. It seems we have a different understanding about "inviting someone". I really do not wanted to discuss this in detail here in the forum. I just shaked my head and dropped my commentary. That´s all.

Vazdru

what part of the expression "sorry, mea culpa" and "my mistake" you don't understand ?!?

I've already said you were right in your analysis and i was wrong

MMD

calm down

Sure you apologized for it but that doesn't made it less awkward to me, so I just dropped a line to express my lack of understanding. Thats all. Have fun with your tournament!

just as clarification (i think it is obvious, but...)

* Gatecrash isn't legal in the tournament no matter which date you play your first match and the expansion is available on cockatrice

* plz post the deckcodes and send me the decklists as soon as possible but no later than Friday next week

Throw enough goblins at any problem and it should go away. At the very least, there'll be fewer goblins.
