Bonus Prizes
Every participant that enters this tournament has an equal chance to win one bonus prize. It doesn't matter how well you perform in the event, you win the whole tournament or place last there is always an equal chance to get the bonus reward.
This time, bonus prizes are:
6 Random participants will get: Level 1 Venari Spellsmith (RARE)
and other 6 Random participants will get: Level 1 Deeplurker (COMMON)
Loyalty System
Today, I'm gonna lay out some details about this system I want to develop to further reward players coming back to these tournaments and participating in these posts.
How to Participate:
One important thing to do before you are eligible to participate in the Loyalty System. Just leave a comment under the latest tournament post. You need to do this only ONCE. I want to rule out some of those bots that only auto-pilot through tournaments and reward actual players.
How to Earn points:
Rules are going to be very simple. For every tournament participation, you will get 1 LP (loyalty point), If you finish in the top 10 you get 1 extra LP.
You can earn a point by sharing a battle from the latest Beginner's Tourney. I'll pick 5 battles that will earn an LP for both players involved. Share your battles in the comment section below
Winners of the bonus prizes that are participating in the Loyalty system "gain" -1 LP every time they win a card.
Loyalty Reward Structure
Keep in mind that this is something I'll experiment with over time and things will change, I'll be adding and removing available rewards but I'll try to stick with the structure as long as it makes sense to me and I can afford it. So the structure currently looks like this:
| # | Reward | Loyalty Point Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1. | Chaos Legion Pack | 100 LP |
| 2. | Random CL Summoner card (excluding legendaries) | 90 LP |
| 3. | Random CL Epic card | 50 LP |
| 4. | Random CL rare card (excluding summoners) | 10 LP |
| 5. | Random CL common card | 5 LP |
To redeem rewards you need to comment on the most recent tournament post with "I want to redeem reward # X times." for example "I want to redeem reward 4. 5 times (essentially redeeming 5 random rares)
LP Board
The board continues getting bigger every week. Welcome newcomers!
I feel I can finally remove the note that stayed here for a while now ;)
Share Your Battles, Earn LP
Last week I added another way for you to earn an extra LP by sharing your battles from Beginner's Tourneys but only 2 people applied so I'm gonna leave this as a reminder.
Every week I will pick 5 battles that you guys share and reward both players from the battle with 1 LP, although the same participant can't get more than 1 point per week from this.
You can share your battles in form of a comment or create a post about it just like you would
for the Splinterlands Share Your Battle Weekly Challenge posts. If you only share your battle through a comment, tell us why do you find this battle funny, interesting, or whatever.
Which battles are rewarded is ultimately my decision but you guys may sway me of course :D
Only battle from the most recent Beginner's Tourney are eligible.
Share Your Battle LP Winners:
Since those were the only two entries, they both won an LP for all participants of these battles.

Shared by @beaker007 with a comment:
This is the reason why i like double heal combination. When legendariers are allowed sometimes even do a triple heal with the Spirit Hoarder lol.

2. @acidosis vs @on0tole
Shared by @acidosis with a comment:
This is one battle of this tournament. Was great because i can win a hi ranked player
I'd also add: A good use of Hill Giant in Back to Basics as mana/health ration makes him a pretty strong fodder.

3. @avidez vs @sweatyhands20
Shared by @avidez with a comment:
I share this battle because it was one I initially thought I had lost.
Seeing all the gold cards and at the opponent's maximum level it looked like there was no chance.
Since all the monsters were going to attack the last one in the formation, I strategically placed the two rats with Thornes at the end to counterattack. This worked very well because one of them made it to the end and ended the battle.
In turn, the monster in the third position attracted all the initial attacks until it died.
The Grund served its tank function very well by eliminating its first two opponents.
My opponent's mage did a lot of damage but I was finally able to defeat her.
In my opinion the key to victory was the attack buff and having some faster cards to attack first.

5. @hannes-stoffel vs @heimdal
Shared by @hannes-stoffel with a comment:
I want to share a battle from this tournament which I lost.
The thoughts that went into picking my lineup might make their own post one day, especially since my Opponent picked the exact same monsters. But s/he did a better job positioning them so this was another lesson for me: It's all about "location, location and location"😉

I welcome every feedback and idea for the development of the loyalty system, please share your thought in the comments below. You might've noticed that I trimmed down some DEC prices, to help me run this system sustainably, any extra support like sending DEC to my account, voting, sharing my post, etc. is highly appreciated
