The premise of this tournament is to play a draft format which incorporates bans and player agency to experiment with different champions. Each player will alternately draft five champions prior to each round with no duplicates. Then, each player will ban one of the opponent’s selections. After that, each player will simultaneously reveal which three they will activate for the game.
Here is the procedure for setting up a round for this tournament:
Step 1: Both players roll five Godtear dice, re-rolling any ties. The player with the higher result chooses to be PLAYER 1 or PLAYER 2.
Step 2: PLAYER 1 selects a champion and its follower unit. This champion is no longer available for PLAYER 2 to select. Then PLAYER 2 player chooses a champion and its follower unit which then becomes unavailable for PLAYER 1 to select. Repeat this until both players have five unique champions and their follower units.
Step 3: PLAYER 1 bans a champion from their opponent’s group of five. Then, PLAYER 2 bans a champion from their opponent’s group of five.
Step 4: Both players secretly choose the three champions they will use for this game, leaving one of the four available inactive. Once both players have chosen, both players SIMULTANEOUSLY REVEAL their final warbands of 3 champions and their follower units.
Step 5: PLAYER 1 is the first player on turn 1 and must deploy first as usual. Play the game normally.
