I hope this tournament will help people prepare for worlds. I set this event 3 weeks before worlds as a way to help set the stage for final testing. This will also be a great new player friendly event to join for even if you wont be able to make it to SF for the official world championship 😃 I expect this will be another epic netrunner tournament bringing together new and old players of all levels for a wonderful day of connecting with friends and hacking servers 🥳
All COs are fairly casual events and I make a special effort to make these events approachable and inviting for newer players. This is a great place to start if you've never played in an online or any tournament before. There is even a bonus prize for first time online tournament players!
Games will be played on Jinteki.net. I will be coordinating the event through the Null Signal online events hub Discord server. You can join the server here. We will be using the #online-store-championship channel for announcements. More details will be posted closer to the date of the event.
How long the event will be? This is going to be a large event and I expect to run 8 - 10 rounds of single sided swiss plus a meal break on day one. This should take between 7 -10 hours. You're definitely not required to play the whole event to get prizes. I'm sure some people will end up dropping part way through. It's looking like we are going to have enough players for a cut to top 16 on day two, this will be a standard double elim cut with the same start time as day one.
I plan to have event streamed, if you have interest in commentating or helping stream please reach out to me on discord!
What happens if I buy a ticket and can't make it? You have two choices, first I can refund your ticket. The earlier you can register the better it is for me and I don't want that to cost anyone who has their plans change. The second option is to keep your ticket and I will ship you the participation prizes and any early registration bonuses 👀 Playing is required to receive the first time tournament bonus.
Optional fundraiser for my netrunner travel: There is an option at checkout to donate to my travel fund. This time 100% of the donations will go to help me pay for my travel to worlds. I definitely don't want anyone to feel pressured to donate, but I also want to send a huge thank you to everyone who has donated in the past. These events don't do much more then break even and the donations truly wam my heart and keep me motivated ❤️ 🩵 💚 I will be including a small extra thank you with prizes for anyone who elects to donate ❤️ 👀 🥳 Thanks you all so much! This community is so amazing!
Affordability My main goal in running this tournament online is to increase the accessibility of competitive netrunner. I have made an effort to keep the ticket price affordable, but I want to make sure cost isn't a barrier for anyone who would like to join. If you are hesitant to play because of the cost you're welcome to use the discount code NETRUNNER4EVERYONE for 100% off the ticket price or HALFOFF for 50% off. I'm hoping to make sure anyone who wants to play can participate. ❤️ The discount codes don't have unlimited uses, but so far they have never run out. I'm always really happy when the the discounts get used. Please please use one if it will help!
*Please only use the discount codes if you actually want to receive prizes, if you just want to play netrunner you don't need a ticket just sign up on Aesop's and join in. I don't bother cross-referencing tickets with players, but without a ticket/shipping address the only prizes you can play for are CBI invite and Beans. That said if you can buy I ticket I appreciate it, but I would much prefer anyone play then pay ❤️
