Hi everyone, it's BananaHarambe the unofficial tournament organizer and community manager for Vale of Eternity on BGA. I just wanted to say hi to all the new players that are joining Vale of Eternity this season and provide some information on our tournament scene for this game.
The tournament community has grown a lot since last October with roughly 16 completed tournaments, 6 ongoing tournaments, and 6 upcoming tournaments. There are now more frequent tournaments and larger variety of tournaments than ever before. Current schedule is 1 new tournament every 5 days at minimum.
Come join our group here to get tournament updates to your news feed and the occasional notification with tournament links https://boardgamearena.com/group?id=17342281
To find my tournaments as easily as possible, use "Banana" in the search tag and you will see them all, including other games like Faraway. They all have a custom logo to look out for.
Recently I have upped the frequency of 3p tournaments to 2 per month, one Last One Standing (3p 2q) and 3p Top Cut Swiss since arena is back to 2p and some players are looking for more 3p games and competition.
I have also adding 3 new monthly cups for different rating levels with the same format and start time.
Casual Cup 100-199 Elo https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=380793
Intermediate Cup 200-299 Elo https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=381108
Strong Cup 300+ Elo https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=381192
These cups are maximum 48 players with 8 groups of 5-6 players playing round robin to start (4-5 games all starting immediately) with 4 players from each group advancing to the next round, which is a 32 player Swiss with 5 rounds to determine a winner. Everyone signing up is guaranteed to get at least 4 games against similar skilled players and most players will advance to the Swiss round to player 5 more games!
It would be helpful if many people could sign up for tournaments of interest as soon as possible to increase visibility. Once tournaments get 10+ players they become much more visible to players so your help is greatly appreciated.
Also, have I mentioned the Experts Cup yet? This is a new series of difficult-entry tournament for only the top players. To qualify either win a 40+ player tournament with open signup (e.g. Casual Cup is excluded), or reach 500 Elo, or become Arena Champion. Some tournaments with a winner that's already qualified will allow the runner-up to qualify so every tournament should add someone to Experts Cup. https://boardgamearena.com/tournament?id=370885
