Any forum admin or DMODT(Duel Masters OCTGN Daily Tournament) admin can host the daily tournament. If these are not available, any normal player may do so too.
In the chat, join the channel #DMODT if you want to participate/host.
You CANNOT pre-register for sure for a Daily Tournament. The only condition you must meet to participate is that you should be online on OCTGN during most of the day.
Rules for contestants:
You can participate by joining the #DMODT channel in the chat, commenting on the respective FB/Forum post or getting a direct invitation from the host.
DO NOT participate if you won't be free for the next few hours to duel in the DT.
All the tournament duels should be 2/3. No deck change is allowed during the 3 duels of a match. Loser of last duel chooses who goes first in next duel.
The tournaments will not be fixed deck tournaments, so you can change decks in between matches with different opponents.
A duelist that has joined a tourney but is unable to complete his/her duel for any reason should be disqualified. Those who cannot complete a duel because they have to leave, but will return after a while can be given the break as an exception, but it's preferred that this only happens if the duelist is already in Final Round of the daily tournament.
If there more than half the participants are disqualified this way, the tournament will be invalid.
Rules for host:
The number of participants must be between 4 to 8. Usually it is exactly 4 or 8, but if players have seed advantage it may be 7(one seed) or 6(two seeds).
(Seeds are the players who skip the starting round)
Recommended mode of communication is the #DMODT channel in the forum chat, however, the host may also invite duelists to participate by contacting them on FB/OCTGN.
The host may make a respective post in the FB group and a post here in the daily tournament section, stating when the tournament will start.
When the host has determined that there are enough participants, the tournament will start. Format and Type(Elimination, Round Robin, etc) will be decided by the host.
Currently only elimination format is supported, but the host may make his own tournament on challonge.
Duelists can be paired randomly by the bot Dominic in the #DMODT channel or via Random.org(with the host posting a screenshot of the generated list).
Note: If Dominic is not online open this link and he should appear: shrouded-shore-45842.herokuapp.com/
(Don't ask, I kinda sneaked Dominic's code into that webpage)
The tournament must be finished on the same day it started.
At the end of the tournament the ladder of the respective format should be updated by the host, and a comment containing the participants and results must be made on it.
For 6-8 man tournaments:
Winner +5 points
Runner up +3 points
3rd place(2 people) +1
Players that had to leave in the middle AFTER winning some matches will get priority for seed advantage in the next DT, if any.
For 4 man tournaments:
Winner +3 points
Runner up +1 point
The scores will be reset to zero monthly or bi-monthly(depending on whether enough tourneys took place) and the winner's name will be shown in the corresponding ladder permanently after that, and also in the Tournament Hall of Fame
All suggestions to improve these rules should be posted here in comments.
