Netrunner Jinteki

Welcome to the Jinteki Android: Netrunner league!  This is the pilot league event of a larger "seasonal" structure interspersed with regularly scheduled Jinteki tournaments.  In the future, standings from these league events may be used to formulate seedings for the tournaments.

This will be a learning event. Keep that in mind throughout the duration. Questions and comments are encouraged. We will make adjustments as necessary.

The main goal of the league is to meld the competive atmosphere of the tournament scene with relaxed deck restrictions and scheduling.  This league event will run for 1 /12 months:

Begins: March 12th, 2015

Ends: April 30th , 2015

Use any decks that you like.  You do no need to keep the same decks.  However, you may only use cards that have officially been released by Fantasy Flight Games.

Play against anybody on the ladder

For this event, there is no restriction on whom you can play or how many times you can play them.  Try to mix it up as much as you can.

The rankings will use a standard ELO system.  The exact formula is available in the GitHub repository for those that are interested.

Until provisional rankings are supported, you will need to have completed 10 matches by the end of the season in order to be considered in the final league results.  Please refer to match structure to see what constitutes a match.

A league match will consist of 1 game.  (not 2 as you may be used to)

The winner of the game wins the match.  There will never be any ties.

Corp / Runner is randomly determined for the first match.  Imagine flipping a coin that has a runner side and a corp side. Whichever lands face up is what you're committed to.

If consecutive matches are played, players swap sides between them.  You may play as many as you like.

Over the long term players should play each side roughly equally.

The winner of a match will report it to the site.  Ties are not possible given the current match structure.  Use the comments section to denote the factions used and the final agenda counts.  

After the match has been reported, the other player will have 48 hours in which to reject the result.  If this time period expires, the match becomes official and ratings will be adjusted.

Note: Report matches in order of completing them.  It can have an impact on your rating if they are reported out of sequence.  It's best to report them immediately after completion.  It only takes a second! 

Finding opponents on the ladder is up to you.  Below are a few ideas on scheduling a match.

We will be using the Board Game Geek A:NR Forum for correspondence.

If the client disconnects prior to a match's completion, the match does not count.  You may replay it in it’s entirety.  Please contact one of the league managers if you believe an opponent is maliciously disconnecting.
