I hope they provide the stores a very detailed faq on rules. There can be some cards that need a little more clarification on their own, and also when some cards work together / against each other.I also hope there is a multi-round in the preliminararies, or atleast double elimination since the games a are short enough, I hope it's not one and done.
Double elimination is pretty straight forward, but for the multi- round setup it could be done just like the Monopoly world championships. They have 3 rounds, and at the end of the 3 rounds the 6 top people go to the final table. So at each game store that has a tournament they could set it up that way then at each table, give these points out depending on what place they came in.
The winner gets 16 points, 2nd gets 8, 3rd gets 4, 4th gets 2, 5th gets 1, and 6th gets 0. Then if there still are ties the tie breaker was total points scored (during games) over all the prelim games.
