Round 2 – Rules and Pairings

Welcome to Phase 2 of Faction Wars. In this phase you will face off in the following match ups:

The Big Picture (TM) Vs. Just Business
The New Wool Order Vs. The Collective
The Higher Class Vs. Starmaker Productions
Paradise Vs. The Constellation

10 Skill Match Ups – All 10 Skills will play against one another. For example the 10 Strike player from team A will play against the 10 Strike Player from Team B. Each match will be two out of three falls. Each win is worth 1 point, but the losing team will not lose a point. For example if Team A wins 2-0, Team A gets 2 points, while Team B gets 0 points. If team A won 2-1, then Team A would get 2 points, while Team B would get 1 point.

Tornado and Trio: The Tornado and Trio players for each team will play against one another. The match is set for one fall and is worth 2 points for the winner and loser will not lose any points.

Draft Position – All players using singles competitors will face off against their same draft position on the opposing team. For example, the first singles competitor drafted for team A will play the first singles competitor drafted by team B. Note the rounds may not be aligned due to tornado and trio being selected earlier or later than the opposing team. Also note I will not be giving the draft order to the captains, this was public knowledge at the time the draft was completed. This match is set for one fall and is worth 1 point.

Premier Player – The Premier Player may NOT be the Captain or the Premier Player from the previous round. I will assign three random stipulations for this match. All three will be played. A win counts as 1 point and a loss counts as negative 1 point to the opposing team.

Tag Team – Teams will select two players on their team to be on a tag team. The selected players may NOT be the Premier Player. Players will not know the opposing tag team players until decklists are turned in. This tag team match is set for one fall and it is worth 2 points. In the event the crowd meter is greater than 5 in this match, the match will be worth 3 points.

In the event of a tie, I will let you know the next steps.

Decklists are due to johncalace@srguniverse.com no later than January 14th by 11:59 PM eastern. Matches may begin the next day. All matches are due by February 10th (no one will be playing this round beyond Superbowl Sunday!!!).

As a reminder, the only thing that may change from round to round are the cards within the 1 – 30 deck. Once decklists are submitted to me for this round they cannot be changed. Players may not change which competitor they are using, which entrance they are using, or what spectacles are being used by the entire team.
