Well, folks, the suspense is over! The long-awaited return of the Backyard Unit Draft is here at last! Don't miss your chance to participate in the madness and, hell, even if you don't like the idea, sign up to try to win some TAL points! I mean, that is what keeps Sniper going each day. Without further ado, I give you BUD:

Concept:

- This tournament is basically like drafting a backyard baseball team.

- As some of you may or may not know, there are eighteen (18) playable units available to gold accounts, excluding the cleric and considering the dragon tyrant to be one (1) piece. By eighteen (18), I am not including any repeated units, such as the two (2) automatic pyromancers. The units are as follows:
> One (1) mud golem
> One (1) stone golem
> One (1) frost golem
> One (1) golem ambusher
> One (1) dark magic witch
> One (1) pyromancer (not two (2) and yes, I realize two (2) are originally provided)
> One (1) scout (same goes for the scout as the pyromancer)
> One (1) barrier ward
> One (1) lightning ward
> One (1) poison wisp
> One (1) dragonspeaker mage
> One (1) knight
> One (1) assassin
> One (1) enchantress
> One (1) furgon
> One (1) beast rider
> One (1) dragon tyrant
> One (1) berserker

- These units are the ones available in the draft and remember, there is only one (1) of each.

- Each player will automatically be allowed one (1) cleric for their set.

- Once match-ups are decided, one (1) opponent will randomly be chosen to draft one (1) of their remaining nine (9) units first. This rule applies to every round.

- The player who does not go first, receives two (2) picks in a row after their opponent makes the first choice.

- This process continues until each player has nine (9) units, along with their already supplied cleric. Obviously, one (1) piece will be left over due to the dragon tyrant counting as two (2).

- The dragon tyrant also counts as two (2) picks, so you may have to skip a turn if you decide to choose it, unless you're second turn and use your first two picks in a row on it.

- After the draft is settled, each player must create a set with the units they picked and their cleric. Once both opponents have formed a set with their specified units, they will play and the winner advances to the next round, where this whole shin-dig occurs again.

- Here is an example of a round:
> Game: Greed vs. Realist
> First Turn: Greed
> Greed (#1) picks the scout. The scout is no longer available.
> Realist (#1) picks the frost golem. The frost golem is no longer available.
> Realist (#2) picks the mud golem. The mud golem is no longer available.
> Greed (#2 and #3) picks the dragon tyrant. The dragon tyrant is no longer available and Greed must wait a turn.
> Realist (#3) picks the barrier ward. The barrier ward is no longer available.
> Realist (#4) picks the assassin. The assassin is no longer available.
> Greed (#4) picks the furgon. The furgon is no longer available.
> Realist (#5) picks the poison wisp. The poison wisp is no longer available.
> Greed (#5) picks the enchantress. The enchantress is no longer available.
> Realist (#6) picks the stone golem. The stone golem is no longer available.
> Greed (#6) picks the knight. The knight is no longer available.
> Realist (#7) picks the golem ambusher. The golem ambusher is no longer available.
> Greed (#7) picks the dark magic witch. The dark magic witch is no longer available.
> Realist (#8) picks the pyromancer. The pyromancer is no longer available.
> Greed (#8) picks the lightning ward. The lightning ward is no longer available.
> Realist (#9) picks the berserker. The berserker is no longer available.
> Greed (#9) picks the beast rider. The beast rider is no longer available.
> The dragonspeaker mage is not chosen.
> Greed's Units:
cleric
1. scout
2. dragon tyrant (counts as two (2))
3. furgon
4. enchantress
5. knight
6. dark magic witch
7. lightning ward
8. beast rider
> Realist's Units:
cleric
1. frost golem
2. mud golem
3. barrier ward
4. assassin
5. poison wisp
6. stone golem
7. golem ambusher
8. pyromancer
9. berserker

- The main idea is to be strategic with your picks and sets.

Rules:

- Players should send and post a quality private message to/for their opponent. The private message must include your time zone, the Revelations account name you'll be playing on, and two (2) available times for the draft and the actual game to be considered quality. A private message is not necessary if you feel you're active enough, but if the game is not played by the end of the week, the opponent without a private message or the weaker information will most likely be disqualified.

- Each round will be one (1) week long. Three (3) of those days are suggested to be devoted to completing the draft and the other four (4) are to get the game done. Doing both at the same time is encouraged.

- Players must also post or private message me the results of their drafts in each round.

- Screenshots are required for wins, unless the loser verifies the outcome.

- Any participant who uses inappropriate language will be disqualified immediately.

- If a player is disconnected, please take a screenshot and then recreate the status of the game, so it can be finished properly, or replay (the player who doesn't disconnect makes this decision).

- If your opponent makes a set with the wrong units, send me a screenshot and I will eliminate them.

- Oh, good luck and have fun too :p!

Prizes:

- The number of TAL points awarded will depend on the number of players who sign-up.

- Sign-ups will be open for two (2) to three (3) weeks or until we get 64.

Yes, if you have first turn and you choose the dragon tyrant, then your opponent can't choose it. However, they would get three picks in a row.

Well, it probably won't start until War! and BST are over, and Street and PSST: Round 2 will be well underway.

Ragnarth
03-26-2009, 03:42 PM
So... let-s say i got first turn i pick dragon. My opponent takes 3 picks in a row, and then i get to pick 2 in a row?. Cause if i can only pick 1 after he pick 3 in a row it would not make sense to get first turn or either you are giving more importance to the dragon, which its good for me.

I wish I could play, this looks like fun. But my schedule is too (2) full for (4) me to (2) play in this. I do hate (h8) to (2) miss this though. I can think of at least 5 (cinco) ways to (deux) do the draft depending on what my opponent would do. You clearly spent a lot (too much) time making good rules to (ll) play by. I wish you good luck (1337 h4x) in running this tourney.

I wonder how many people will get this so-called joke...

It's not a hard joke to pick up on, duh! Sorry for being meticulous! Anywho, I wrote these rules last year. A simple copy and paste did the trick this year.

Wouldnt it make more sense, though, if the Draft went like this....

(Player A)
(Player B)
(Player B)
(Player A)

(Player B)

etc....

That idea came up last year too, but I think it worked out fine this way, so I'm going to leave it as is. Overall, the split between those who won with first pick and those who won with second pick was quite even.

Sign me up.

Traditional TAO has become boring to me, so good work from tournament organizers to make different kinds of ideas is the thing that'll keep me hanging out here a little longer. If the owners aren't going to do anything fresh, it's up to the players. Props to Gig for the good idea last year, and running it again this year.

I'm with Meat regarding pick orders by the way.
