Lords of the Pit Team Tactical Tournament Results 08-2022

Mixing it up for a local event once again, the Lords of the Pit organized another privately held (and non-advertised) “Team Tactical” event, with 3-person teams (consisting of Old School 95, Middle School, and Vintage decks). While players and teams could not change cards in any deck during the tournament, any player on the team could play any of the decks/seats in any round (to allow switching between decks if one player was discouraged or bored with format, for example).

In the pandemic era of regular last minute cancellations and substitutions, we were left with 7 full teams standing. Held on August 28th, for this Team Tactical event we changed the initial event structure (5 rounds of Swiss, followed by a cut to the top 2 teams for the finals) on the morning of game day, and just played a full round robin event (7 rounds, one team getting a bye each round, due to the odd number of teams that showed up). If there were any ties in the final standings, a tiebreaker would be the heads up record between teams in question.

There was also a special cocktail menu crafted for the event by yours truly, and the beverages were flowing throughout the day, pizza was ordered, and a memorable day was had by all.
