We are now waiting for decklists sunbmissions and play order to be sent to me. Also, Team 3 has yet to submit a team name! How will they stand a chance against Team Crocodile Battleship or TEAM MEGA-LIGHTNING TORNADO SHARKS without one?

Next Deadline:
Teams have until Monday, Mar 24 11:00pm GMT (GMT+00:00) to get me the following info:

Their decklists for their first-round matches. Each player will have 3 decklists. These can be in text or screenshot form, and the decklists should not be changed between submission and the matches. Since there are 3 teams in the first round, you will be playing 2 sets in round 1. You will probably want to submit 2 groups of 3 decklists, one for use against each of the two enemy teams, but if you want to use the same group of 3 decklists twice that's also fine.
Their play order. Each team's #1 plays against he other team's #1 and each team's #2 plays against the other team's #2 and so on. Your #1 should be your strongest player. Although I can't prevent you from reversing your order to guarantee at least a few wins, it's a friendly league guys so let's chillax
A team name!
A contact person I can talk to about scheduling issues. For now I'm going to use Sandwhale, GreyMist, and DarthPunk as they're the highest-ranked players in terms of skill, but if one of them wants to have someone else handle logistics and scheduling that's fine.

Once all this info is in, I'll email or PM all the contact persons you will have 1 week to play the match. You don't have to do it all at once, so if for example, the #1 slot game can only be played on thursday, play it then and have the #2 slot game play on tuesday or whatever works best.

Clarification, from match rules, bear in mind: "Each player must run 3 distinct classes." so you can't just run like 3 pally decks

Tournament Rules

Match Format:

+ Show Spoiler +

Each match contains 5 sets. Each set is played between 1 player on each team using 3 decks. A set is played pokemon style until someone is out of decks. Whichever team wins the most sets, wins the match. Record the score (4-1, 3-2, 5-0) for league scoring purposes. All sets should be played, even if the first 3 go to one team, since 5-0 is different from 3-2 in terms of league scoring purposes.

Before each match, each team sends me their decks and their play order (slot #). Each player must run 3 distinct classes. Beyond that, there are no restrictions on cards.
- + Show Spoiler [Example] +
  Team of WoS, Hopeless1, Iamp.
  WoS pms me a warrior deck, a mage deck, and a hunter deck. He tells me he'll be in slot 1.
  Hopeless1 pms me a warrior deck, a druid deck, and a rogue deck. He tells me he'll be in slot 2.
  Iamp pms me his mage deck, his hunter deck, and his paladin deck. He tells me he'll be in slot 3.
  Alternatively, the captain can just send me one pm with all this info.
The match consists of 3 sets. Each player plays one set against a player on the other team.
The Match: At a time (or times) when the players can meet, the slot 1s play each other, the slot 2s play each other, and the slot 3s play each other. This is a match.
Each team tells the other team who is in what slot and what classes they are playing. You do not need to tell your opponent what is in your deck; you only need to tell him what the three classes you will play are. You can't make changes to your decklists after this point; the match has begun.
- The Set: When 2 players play each other, this is called a set. After they tell each other their 3 classes, each player selects a deck for game 1. They play a game using their decks.
- The set is resolved elimination-- when you lose with a deck, you can't use that deck any more during that set. When you win with a deck, you use it again in the next game of the set.
- If you lose 3 times (that is, when all 3 of your decks are eliminated), you lose the set.
- This means a set could be resolved in as few as 3 games (player 1 using deck 1A defeats all three of player 2's decks without dropping a game). Alternatively, it could take up to 5 games to resolve a set (each player gets 2 wins, so they're both on their last deck going into game 5).
After all 3 sets are finished, tally up the score (it will be 3-0, 2-1, 1-2, or 0-3). The team that won more sets will be the winner of the match.
If a team is up 2-0 after the first 2 sets, still finish out the last set, since a 3-0 will be different from a 2-1 for league scoring purposes for both teams.

These rules are actually pretty simple on the ground, even if they're complicated from the high level. Here's what, you, as a player, will do:

1) Before the match, submit your three decklists and slot # to blazinghand before the match. (or your captain does this!) At the start of the match, tell your three classes and slot # to the other team. (or your captain does this!)
2) The other team tells you who you are playing and what their classes are. Now your set against this player begins.
3) You select your first deck and begin playing against your opponent. When you win, you play again using the same deck. When you lose, you select a new deck. When either all three of your decks or all three of your opponent's decks are eliminated, the set is over.
4) Tell your captain who won the set.

League Format:

Round 1, each team will play each other. Whichever 2 teams have the highest overall set score will continue to the finals. The finals are a normal match played between the two teams, and whoever wins that match wins the tournament.

+ Show Spoiler [Example 1] +

Team A vs Team B : 5-0
Team A vs Team C : 5-0
Team B vs Team C : 3-2

League standings:
Team A: 10-0
Team B: 3-7
Team C: 2-8
Teams A and B advance to the finals

+ Show Spoiler [Example 2] +

Team A vs Team B : 5-0
Team A vs Team C : 3-2
Team B vs Team C : 3-2

League standings:
Team A: 8-2
Team B: 3-7
Team C: 4-6

Team A and Team C will advance to the finals, even though Team C didn't win any matches.

No-shows:
If someone doesn't show at their designated time, contact me to resolve the dispute. If you commit to showing up at a certain time to play the game, and you fail to show up, you will generally be considered to have forfeited that set unless there are extenuating circumstance.

Yeah it get's harder level 15 is like ezpz after that it can get more difficult.

Also when I was climbing I would hit points where it got really hard to move up for a day or so and then it would be easy again.

I think it was hard at 14 then 11 then 8 then 4 for me at least.

Nothing, I just lose every single game now. It's frustrating because there's literally no way to get cards without winning games, and it's like there's no way to win without getting cards.

It's just like anything you do. You need to be bad before you can be good. It's important to lose in order to learn.
