Summer 2022 ART Question

[Mairead Harker]

Since the notice states it will be Ironman format with rounds capped at 12, does that mean matches will be hand called or will an adjustment be made to the bot for that night to end duels at 12 rounds?

Thanks!

We’re still working with great Black Wizard Kal on those logistics and will have a final answer by the night of the tournament. It is possible there might be a mix of bot-calling and hand-calling on the night of the tournament, depending on individual duel scoring.

Also, I want to clarify something as the wording has been edited since this question was asked: rather than capped at 12 rounds, the intent is that all duels will last at least 12 rounds.

Thanks for explaining! I don't remember being involved in an Ironman tournament and wanted to have the ducks in a row.

As a follow-up, barring complications and/or technical issues, the bot will be used for this tournament.
