Online Tournament Details:

Software: LackeyCCG (CLICK HERE FOR HOW TO PLAY RAW DEAL ONLINE!)

Date/Times: Every Saturday at 12pm Eastern Standard Time*
                                             (11 Central Standard Time)
                                             (10 Mountain Standard Time)
                                             (9 Pacific Standard Time)
*Any variations from week to week will be posted here as they come up.

Formats will rotate every week using the following schedule:
 (See HOLIDAY schedule posted below!)

• 1st Saturday each month - Raw Deal Classic (No Virtual)
• 2nd Saturday each month - All Axxess (No Virtual)
• 3rd Saturday each month - Virtual Classic
• 4th Saturday each month - Virtual All Axxess
• 5th Saturday each month - Tornado Tag

(You can find a complete description of every format on RawDealPlanet.com)


Time limit(s):1 hour for each round (Swiss or Round Robin.) No time limit for single elim playoff rounds.
-This is to give players enough time to get connected to their opponent.
-Matches not completed in the allotted time will be considered "double loss", per the Raw Deal Tournament Floor Rules.

Pairings/Tournament Structure:
-If we have 4 or 5 players, pairings will be "Round Robin" style, with best final record determining order of finish. With six or more players we will have swiss rounds with a single elimination top cut to determine the winner.
-We will also be using the "Live Chat" recently setup on RawDealPlanet.com to help answer rules questions and other tournament issues as they happen. Check out the Live Chat feature by clicking HERE.
-Pairings will be posted in a thread under the "Raw Deal Online" topic here on TCO. The thread will be titled "Online Tourney NOW, "stickied", and players can report results by posting in the thread, which will likely be deleted to keep the thread uncluttered.
-ALL LACKEY TOURNAMENTS WILL BE HELD IN THE "LackeyCCG" CHATROOM ON THE SITE. This is so we can leave the "General Chat" room open for those not playing in the tournament. (Feel free to join both rooms, but if you're not playing in the event, then please don't clog up the tournament room while the event is running!)

Additional information:
-If you have any questions about downloading the LackeyCCG software or the tournament itself, please send me a private message and I'll try to either answer them or redirect you to where the answer can be found.
-If you'd like to get some practice in with LackeyCCG so you'll be better prepared, please use the "Raw Deal Online" thread and the RawDealPlanet Live Chat feature to find players. I know JaysonPhenix is often on LackeyCCG throughout the week, so hit him up if you see him online.
-Also, the plugin has been updated to include the RDPC Prize support and Revolution 5. I do recommend you UPDATE LackeyCCG a day prior to the event, so that there won't be any unexpected issues with different versions of the plugin.

Rankings/Prizes**:
-Beginning in January, I will start counting the results of each of these tournaments towards an "Online Ranking."
-Prizes will be given out to the top ranked players at the end of every second month, and Online Rankings will be reset.
-Tournaments will be entered into the Online Ranking system with the same K value (8K) using the ELO Ratings system, so aside from the number of rounds (determined by the # of players) tournaments will be weighed the same from week to week.
-As far as prizes go, I'll come up with something cool, trust me

**This is not an official contest or sweepstakes, so insert any applicable legalese here. Additional prizes may or may not be awarded for amusing me or even helping me out.**


Holiday Online Tournament Schedule:
Dec  4th : Raw Deal Classic
Dec 11th: All Axxess (No Virtual)
Dec 18th: Virtual All Axxess
Dec 25th: No Tournament (Merry Christmas!)
Jan   1st: No Tournament (Happy New Years!)

DECEMBER PRIZE SUPPORT:

In order to help gear up for our first season of Online Raw Deal play, I've decided to go nutz with prize support. If you want to win one of the new belts, now is the time to download LackeyCCG!

I WILL BE GIVING AWAY ONE OF THE NEW BELTS EVERY ROUND! (My choice, so it won't be too ridiculous.)

The winner of each tournament will also receive one of the new belts (His choice, so you still have to fight for it!)

Also, don't forget to have some kind of backup plans in case of "technical difficulties" happen

So when does this schedule take effect so that I can prepare accordingly

How long have you guys been doing this? I know a few people I may want to  tell about this.

Been running "warm up" tournaments the last couple weeks. They are going to count for rankings starting in December. Highest ranked players will get prizes every couple months, and then rankings will reset.

[Dre]

Sounds awesome. I'll start telling people. I assume you have links to both the Lackey program and all of the appropriate add-ons somewhere on here?

EDIT: Nevermind, I just found the page with the Lackey information.

I'd like to play in one of these upcoming tourneys.  My biggest concern is becoming familiar with the program used to play.

[Jokerfish]

[MediumSexy]

Yep. Not our fault if people don't want to play Raw Deal and win free Throwback Belts/etc.

Dear Lord, I've been asked, nay commanded, to thank Thee for the Christmas turkey before us... a turkey which was no doubt a lively, intelligent bird... a social being... capable of actual affection... nuzzling its young with almost human-like compassion. Anyway, it's dead and we're gonna eat it. Please give our respects to its family... - Berke Breathed : Bloom Country Babylon
