KARDS Tournament Calendar
Hello everyone!
In 2020 we started hosting monthly Officer Club Championships and introduced the KARDS Open as new competitive options outside of the annual world championship. Today I am thrilled to share with you all an update to our competitive plan for the next 5 months.
We at 1939 Games believe that competitive play is core to the gaming experience around card games, and we are committed to serving our engaged players with fun and frequent opportunities to engage in competitive play. To accomplish this, 1939 Games has partnered with 983 Media on hosting two open tournaments for at least the next 5 months.
This is on top of the Officer Club Championship, that will keep its place, and any community competitions that might be organized!
[h2]So what will these tournaments look like?[/h2]
For the first and second weekend of each month we will host a standard format KARDS Open, with a 1000$ prize pool along with in game prizes. Entry is free and open to everyone.
In this tournament we play through a Swiss round during the first weekend and then finish the tournament with a single elimination bracket during the second weekend. Players bring three decks from three different main nations with one deck ban before each series.
For the third and fourth weekend we will host another KARDS Open with an experimental format and new rules. Formats include:
- Singleton - Only one copy of each card
- Monodecks - No cards from ally nations
- Pauper - No Elite or Special cards
- Pre-made decks or Starter decks
And many more!
For this tournament there is no cash prize, but only in game prizes. This tournament is thought of as more beginner friendly and focuses on fun alongside the competition. We highly encourage newer players to participate in these events, get to know their fellow KARDS players in the community and possibly take a jump up in building their collection with a win in the tournament.
The top 8 from all tournaments will be broadcast to our Twitch channel with live casters!
Here is the full tournament schedule for the next 3 months!
[h2]One more thing![/h2]
You might have noticed March will be slightly different from the other months this year, instead of doing the two open tournaments like normal, we will host a KARDS Open mini tournament week! A week filled with small (4-8 person) tournaments, with in game prizes and a qualification spot for the main event at the end of the week up for grabs! Stay tuned for more details!
This is a part of our exploration into tournaments as a way to play in KARDS, so we will be looking for your feedback to take into consideration when making future tournament features.
[h2]Sounds exciting! TELL ME MORE![/h2]
