EVENT DETAILS BELOW

\n

Calling all Netrunner players! But especially YOU\, no not them\, YOU! You\, who have never won a playmat\, who have no store champtionships to your name\, who goes to many a Store Championship but fears that the titans of Netrunner w ill forever crush you.

\n

Now is your time to shine!

\n

Oxford w ill not have a Store Championship during this Store Championship season be cause\, as they say on Facebook\, "\;It's Complicated"\;. But\, Ox ford will make lemonade with its lemons (or it will make wonderful jank wi th its bad cards\, if you prefer a Netrunner metaphor).

\n

So who can attend this netrunner tournament?

\n

Anyone! I especially want to en courage those who have not attended a tournament before to come along\; I will be encouraging players to consider the event on the more "\;casua l"\; level which means that the focus will be on learning\, sharing &a mp\; enjoyment rather than strict adherence to tournament floor rules.

\n

This tournament will have a special rule to help make things more dif ficult for people who already have a treasure trove of glory at their disp osal. The police of New Angeles have noted your proclivity for running and as such YOU are being placed on an extended Most Wanted List.

\n

To be more specific\, I am going to apply the following reduction in influenc e for your runner &\; Corp decks on the following basis:

\n

For ea ch occasion you have won a Mat or an Alt Art ID by placing highly at a tou rnament you must deduct 1 point of influence from the amount of influence that you may spend on each deck. The maximum penalty for this\, however is 4.

\n

If you have actually won a Store Championship or higher\, I wi ll impose a penalty of 2 points of influence from the amount of influence you may spend on each deck. The maximum penalty for this is 6 (these penal ties are cumulative with the above\, but the highest total penalty any pla yer can have is 6).

\n

//\nFor Example: Dave and Liz are both attendi ng the tournament. Dave has won one mat by placing third at a Store Champi onship and recently one an Alt Art ID at a GNK\, so he takes a -2 hit to i nfluence on both of his decks. If he chooses to play Custom Biotics and No ise he gets 20 influence to spend in Custom Biotics and 13 to spend in Noi se. Liz\, however\, has won 2 store championships and won a mat at a regio nal. She starts with a 5 point influence penalty to her decks. When she ch ooses to play NEH and Kate (I am starting to see why Liz rather than Dave is the winner more often) she has 12 points to spend on NEH and 10 points to spend on Kate. //

\n

I will\, however\, consider accepting "\; briibes"\; (or "\;bribes"\; as they are better called) which w ill come in the form of contributing to the prize pool. If you have spare alt arts/boxes/mats which you can offer to pass on to other Netrunnererers then your influence penalty can be reduced (details upon enquiry).

\n< p>So come on down those who have never won anything before\, the regular w inners will be weaker\, ready for the taking! ! It is tiiime to wiiiin!

\n

As this is an event I am funding myself\, I will be asking for a var iant donation for playing in the tournament. My suggested will be between £3-10 to try and cover the cost of room hire and the prize support (which I am gradually buying). I am going to leave it up to people to decide on their own entrance fee\; some people who play the game are students/unempl oyed and I wouldn't want to put them off too much\, but equally I am sure at least one of you is a secret billionaire so cough up.
