It is hard to argue where ones borders are in an unexplored country, but trust the Lion to make it perfectly sure where their lands begin and end. And lately, there have been trespassers a plenty on the southern borders and beaches. The Scorpion have had the audacity to claim a strip of land to settle on the very edge of the Lion lands. Akodo Cho has decided that these settlers need to be politely, but firmly turned away from this position. The Scorpion, of course, have the very opposite viewpoint. Things have come to heat lately, and some suspicious mishaps happening in the Lion lands have lent even more suspicions that the Scorpion are trying to muscle in......

Now you are all invited to determining whom this dispute will favour, at this point in time.

When you sign up, please choose one of following options: Lend you arms to the Lion (choose to state "Lion" as your team name), or to the Scorpion (choose to state "Scorpion" in your team name), or leave it blank. Or just reach out to Rob and he will sort you out if anything goes awry!

Technical information: 5-day rounds of Swiss. Amount of rounds depending on players: up to 16, 4 rounds, up to 32, 5 rounds, 33 or above 6 rounds.

Top cut: top 2 or 4 of each team (2 if 16 players or less, 4 if 32 players or less) (in the case of going above 60 players, top 8 of each team will qualify) will go through to best of 3 knockout rounds (Also with 5-day playtime limits)

Special deckbuilding restrictions: Team Lion may not play Scorpion splash. Team Scorpion may not play Lion splash.

If you have not chosen a team, you can do so as the tournament goes on, but you will be counted as the lowest qualified player of your bracket if you do so. (As in, you are possibly on a 5-1 record, but you are counted as the last of the 5-1s for qualifying reasons if you choose your allegiance late. Sincerity is a virtue of Bushido after all.)

So, raise the banners of who you support. Fight for the glory of them and their ancestors.
