BOARD PUNKS, May 10th (Sunday), 11:30 „UNMATCHED“ TOURNAMENT

The player limit has been reached

BOARD PUNKS invite you to the 9th UNMATCHED Tournament!

Format: 1v1 Swiss, player limit – 32.
Time: May 10th, 11:30 AM (Sunday).

Depending on the number of players, a fixed number of rounds will be played (up to 5). Players earn points by winning and will be paired against opponents with a similar number of points. Each participant must bring 5 different heroes (officially released, original cards). Maps will be provided by the organizer. BAN LIST (these heroes can’t participate): Medusa, Elektra, Dr. Strange, Sherlock Holmes.

Prizes:
Official prizes and trophy provided by BRAIN GAMES.

Match rules:

Maps are assigned to tables randomly.
Players at each table randomly determine who goes first and who goes second.
Each player secretly selects a hero. If both players choose the same hero, those heroes are banned for that match and selection is repeated. If the final available choice results in the same hero, heroes are assigned randomly from the remaining available options.
Match duration: 45 minutes.

If no winner is determined when time runs out, the winner is the player whose fighters have a higher remaining health percentage, calculated based on their starting health values (including sidekicks that begin on the board).

Players must complete an equal number of turns; even after time expires, the second player finishes the round.

After each match, the heroes used in that round are locked and cannot be selected again in later rounds.

The discard pile is open information, but it may only be checked during the opponent’s turn and only if it does not disrupt gameplay.

Deliberate stalling to secure a win may result in disqualification. For example, spending 5 minutes thinking about a move with only one card in hand at the end of a match.

Or… smash with your hand! But be careful not to get stung by angry hornets…
