We are pleased to announce the formation of the second Android: Netrunner League for Curio Cavern!
We've learned a lot over the course of the first League, and we're using that to make the second one even better! An overhaul on prize structure and on match play, as well.
The Basics
When: Every Sunday from open until whenever.
How Much: $5 every Sunday.
How Long: The league is played over three weeks with a tournament at the end on the fourth week
What to bring : 1 corp and 1 runner deck and a 15 card sideboard (details below)
What you receive: For the duration of the League, you will have an achievement list. This is your personal achievement list for that month. You'll keep track of your achievements as you play, as verified by the tournament organizer. As you complete achievements, you will earn a certain amount of points for each acheivement your complete.
What are these achievement points used for? Unlike the previous League, your points will not be calculated at the end of the League to determine prizes. Instead, You will be able to spend achievement points (like currency) that you gain over the course of the League to purchase the prizes in particular that you want! Also, during the tournament, there will be an auction between rounds. The bids will be done via secret auction, with everyone writing down their bid, using acheivement points. There, you'll be able to pick up the items on the block for less points.
End of League Tournament Format: The tournament every four weeks will be at varying starting times. The players will be able to voice their concerns about starting times, and we will all come to a consensus about start time. The tournaments will be standard Swiss structure, with a cut to top 4 (single elimination). The prizes for that will be store credit. The entry fee for the tournament is ten dollars, and the purse for the prize will be ten dollars in store credit for every participant
Spend none? Worry none! Whatever acheivement points you end the league and tournament with because you haven't spent them will carry over to the next league. The achievement points that you earn from completing achievements will never reset, but the achievements will reset once the end-of-the league tournament begins. The tournament organizer will have the master achievement list which includes your points.
Sideboard What? There will be a rules change in effect for the League play. Each player will have the option of bringing a fifteen card "sideboard" to the day. Between matches against different players, you'll be allowed to modify your deck(s). The fifteen card sideboard that you have can include cards from either the Runner side or the Corp side, and is allowed to modify either one. As long as the deck maintains regulations, you're allowed to modify it as you will. This will allow players some laxity in attempting to score achievements, and will allow for variation in your deck(s) as you play over the course of the day.
Ok …so how many achievements are there? There are 67 acheivements with 135 acheivement points to obtain. Achievements that you can complete range from easy to insanely difficult. To give you an idea of what kind of acheivements there are, take a look at the following.
10 matches played (1 point)
Play as three different runner identities (3 points)
All sorts of flatlining (1-3 points)
Drawing 9 cards in one turn, Hosting all 3 main ice breaker types on dinosaurus, Decking out a corp, Account Siphon/Vamp 15 credits from a person, etc. are all in the list!
We hope to see you here!
