For example\, if two players both are at 12 tournament p oints after round four of Swiss\, the player with an "\;ID score"\ ; of 4 would be higher ranked than the player with a score of 9. In case of a tie\, Strength of Schedule and extended SoS will still determine rank ing as per usual.

ID choice &\; deckbuildin g restrictions

\n\n

MAXIMUM LOCKDOWN v2.1

\n

Morph and mutate your decks to manipulate your tie-breaker ID sc ore!\nPlease note: this does not allow you to go over 10 ID points in total when choosing IDs.

\n

Both for Runner and Corp decks that meet any of the requirements listed below\, your final ID score will be lowered by 1 (one) extra ID point for each requirement that you meet. How does that work in quasi-mathematical terms?

\n\n
  • You choose a Runner and a Corp from the pool the sum of which does not exceed -1 or 10 (as per the usual Lockdown rules).
    • \n
  • You buil d your decks following the regular deck building rules and the Lockdown ba n lists.
    • \n
  • You check them for the optional requirements below.
    • \n
  • If your decks meet a requirement\, your final ID score is lowered b y 1 ID point for each requirement met per each deck (to a maximum of 8 min us points if both your decks meet all the optional requirements).
    • \n\n

    All of the following are optional and each one is worth 1 ID point for the purpose of the tiebreaker ID score:

    \n\n
      \n
    • The deck uses 2/3rds of the IDs printed influence points (rounded up to the nearest full number) (that means: 17 f or 25 influence point IDs\, 12 for 17 influence point IDs\, 10 for 15 infl uence point IDs\, 8 for 12 influence point IDs\, 7 for 10 influence point IDs)
      • \n
    • The deck includes only incomplete play sets of all cards in it (fewer than 3 copies of a c ard in most cases\, fewer than 6 or 1 copy in other cases\, as per text on the card).
      • \n
    • The deck does not include cards of all different types available for the side (Corps: Asset\ , Upgrade\, ICE\, Operation // Runners: Event\, Program\, Hardware\, Resou rce).
      • \n
    • The deck is bigger by at least 4 cards (Runners) (than the printed card minimum of the ID) or smaller by at least 3 cards (Corps) (than the printed card minimum + agenda po int modifier of +4 cards). For example\, if your ID says that the smallest amount of cards you can have is 45 for CORP\, you need to have at most 46 cards AND 20 Agenda Points in it for it to meet this requirement (or 22 A genda Points and 51 cards\, etc.). For a 45 card minimum RUNNER deck\, the requirement would be at least 49 cards in the deck (or 54 for a 50 card m inimum\, etc.)
      • \n
    \n\n

    Outside of these rules\, the game plays identically to Standard format. Rotation and the latest Ban Li st are in effect (in this case SBL 20.09).

    \n

    Question: Does the ID point limit count for usi ng DJ Fenris ?\nAnswer: YES IT DOES - YOU CAN'T dance to DJ FENRIS with an other RUNNER that has an illegal/excessive ID cost.\nRunner ID + C orp ID + Runner ID hosted on DJ Fenris have to have an ID cost equal to or lower than 10

    \n

    Streaming

    \n

    There will be streamin g happening\, mainly via Twi tch. All explicit requests to be streamed will be considered.

    \n

    If you are not OK with being on the stream with your game(s)\, please put "\;DNS"\; at the end of your table name on jintek i.net during the tournament (but do allow spectators\, for TO calls!). All requests to not be streamed will be honoured. You can ab solutely change your mind about being on/off stream in between rounds - ju st don't forget to use the "\;DNS"\; code\, it will make my life m uch easier\, thanks!
