in a Chainbound Adaptive event the winning deck over the 1st two rounds starts with 3 chains.

When it comes to bidding chains to see who gets to use it in the deciding match, if the winner has bid 5 chains. Do you start that match with 8 chains on the deck? The 5 you ended up bidding to use it plus the 3 it starts each game with??

If not, and you only use the chains that were the winning bid.

What if it was the other way round? A 5 chain deck and 3 chain winning bid. Would the deck have 8 chains or just the 3 chain from the bidding, therefore making it even easier to win with...

this is bad idea to play chainbound adaptive events. Chainbound events designed to be solo.

Not only is it a bad idea, the GEM software can't handle anything outside of Solo events. It expects the same person to play the same deck every time, and assigns chains to the deck based on the player.

You can run adaptive events, just don't run them Chainbound.

After speaking to the organiser the chainbound bit has been dropped so that all decks are classed as 0 chains. He has also dropped aember shards from being won as well.

I thought all events can give out aember no matter what type of event is being run.

The only events at the store level that give out Æmbershards are Chainbound events.
