Round 1 starts 30 minutes later

This is going to be the last opportunity you have to qualify for the 2025 CBI. If you have already qualified for the CBI event I hope you can get some quality practice in before the big event. I try hard to make all my events new player friendly and even if you have no plans to participate in the CBI event I would still be thrilled if you joined in for the showdown! The online Showdowns are a great way to make connections with netrunner players all around the globe! 😃 I expect this will be another epic netrunner tournament bringing together new and old players of all skill 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 if you have never played in an online Showdown before!

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.

How long will the event 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. I expect we will 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 the 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 Showdown tournament bonus.

Affordability My main goal for running the Showdown tournaments is to increase access to competitive netrunner. I make an effort to keep the ticket price affordable, but I want to make sure the ticket cost isn't a barrier for anyone who would like to play and receive prizes. If you are hesitant to play because of the cost you have a couple of options.

First of all anyone can play completely free without a ticket (tickets are only required to receive physical prizes). If you would like to play without receiving physical prizing all you need to do is register on Cobra and show up in the discord events hub at the start of the event. Without a ticket you can still win a CBI invite or Beans.

If you would like to play and receive physical prizes, but the ticket price would hold you back from playing you can use the discount code NETRUNNER4EVERYONE for 100% off the ticket price. I'm hoping to make sure anyone who wants to play can participate ❤️ This discount codes does not have unlimited uses, please only use one if you plan to fully participate in the event, but please use one if it would help! So far they haven't come close to running out, but if they do run out you can check again later as people continue to donate more tickets ❤️

There is one more option for anyone who can afford to pay for a ticket, but paying the whole price would be a burden. If it helps, you're welcome to take $6 off with the code 18$TICKET. I really want to avoid the ticket price being a financial burden to play netrunner!

If you're in a comfortable financial position there is an option during check where you can chip in an extra 1/4+ ticket to help me offer additional free tickets.
