Introducing CWhit's Cap Challenge

[Nicolino Di Benedetto]

Hello, everyone!

Following the success of Perfect Team’s community-based Perfect Draft Challenges hosted by Laptophound and EVCInNYC2, we are pleased to announced the first such traditional tournament challenge; CWhit’s Cap Challenge. This is a multi-month, multi-format competition based around CWhit’s favorite type of tournaments; weekly caps.

Participants will be able to enter into a weekly tournament, that can qualify you for a 32-player tournament with card prizes centered around the cap theme. This qualification will be in addition to the regular PTCS qualification points that you will get from participating in that tournament.

Starting on May 7 and running through Oct. 1, CWhit’s Cap Challenge will occur every Thursday at 1pm ET (first sim at 2pm ET). The format will rotate roughly every month. We hope to have five formats before the championship in October. All formats will be cap tournaments that focus on utilizing your card collection.

The first format will be a “Heart Cap.” This will be based around the “heart” tournaments you see at the various tiers. This one will be a High Iron Floor to Low Gold Ceiling Cap using cards from 1930 to 1989. There will be a cap of 1699, a Variant Cap of nine, 2006 RE, no DH and played at Greater Nevada Field.

Qualification for Cwhit’s Cap Challenge Championship are as follows:

1. Every winner of the weekly iteration of Cwhit’s Cap Challenge - To accept the invitation as a winner, you must be an active player of the game, or accept the invitation from CWhit and OOTP. This invitation will be offered the day after the final invitational weekly tournament occurs, on October 1, and activity or acceptance must be confirmed within a week.
2. The top qualifiers on the standings for Cwhit’s Cap Challenge, using the same PTCS qualifying points involved in this tournament. This will fill the field along with the winners of the weekly tournaments.
