Okay, one of the biggest successes in SWCCG post Decipher is the Match Play Championships, or MPC. 2 years in a row, it has filled up to it's 64 player max registration. And keep in mind, this is during winter/spring, not at a major con. It has sort of been rattling off in my head for a while now, on how to incorporate such a tournament into SWM. Given the success of the Marmalade Dog Ironman, I have renewed interest.
Basically, the MPC is a ranked tournament, which is why pre registration is vital to such a tournament. It also uses single elimination method vs swiss. The biggest issue is trying to find a fair way to do the matches. In SWCCG, you play 2 decks, and in the MPC, a round is essentially 2 games, with each of the different decks. The idea is to play the 2 decks to get a more fair assessment of who won. With SWM, and the inherent issue with dice, is there a way to do it and not just be a repeat? Play 2 games with the same squads, but change map and side choice in the second game? Just play a longer game? Bring 2 different squads?
Just brainstorming, and essentially gauging interest. Like I said, it has been perhaps the biggest successes of the SWCCG PC, and it would be neat to translate it to SWM.
