Cardfight Vanguard Tournament

DESCRIPTION
Cardfight Vanguard is a new trading card game from Japan that is quickly growing in popularity in Regina and throughout North America.

The basic premise is that the two players represent astral spirits dueling on the planet Cray. The cards in players' decks, called "units", represent characters from Cray that players can summon. Each unit has a name, clan, power level, shield value, one or more skills, and "grade", which ranges from 0 to 3. Overall strength of units increases with grade, but a unit can only be summoned if the player's vanguard is of that grade or higher. A deck must contain exactly 50 cards and 16 trigger units. There is otherwise no restriction on how many cards of a certain clan or grade must be used. [Description courtesy of Wikipedia].

Players will be paired randomly by ComicReaders Downtown staff. Players will play the best 2 of 3, with the wins/losses to be reported to ComicReaders Downtown staff. Points will be awarded based on wins/losses. The next set of pairings will be based on the players' record.

There is no "official" tournament structure yet available in North America (or so I've been told by distributors) so, for now, the structure of the Tournament will be devised by ComicReaders Downtown, with input from the players.

Players will be paired randomly by ComicReaders Downtown staff. Players will play the best 2 of 3, with the wins/losses to be reported to ComicReaders Downtown staff. Points will be awarded based on wins/losses. The next set of pairings will be based on the players' record.
