Running an EVE limited Booster Draft Tournament - 2008/04/01 21:24Greetings all, This Sunday we are running our first Draft tournament. We plan to do the following, but are open to suggestions.
-Each player starts with 2 core packs and 2 exile booster packs. -Each player rolls a die to determine seating arrangement. (We'll try to fill out tables with 4 folks, so if we have 8, we'll have two tables of 4 for drafting. But if we have 6, we'll do 3 and 3 I guess....) -Each player opens a booster, selects one card, and passes left, repeat until cards in the booster is gone. -Repeat with the next booster, and pass right. -Repeat, left. -Repeat, right.
We will have a seperate pile of starbases set out on the table, from outside of the drafting pool. Players will be able to choose their starbase, so they don't have to select those cards during the draft. (Although they may end up with some anyway.)
Now, we are planning to be flexible with the rules in that you have the option of playing outer regions. Aka, you can choose to pick one as you are drafting, or you can choose not to, if you don't wish to play with any outer regions. So, your deck could have 0, 1, 2 or 3 outer regions. (Course, if you choose not to play with outer regions, you run a risk that your opponent might play a starbase with an outer region attack requirement.)
We'll be making 40 card decks, with an optional 13 card sidebar. (out of each players pool of 60 cards.) If you get decked, you reshuffle you scrap heap as your new library.
Suggestions?
