Ontario has the privilege of hosting the first Grand Championship for L5R this weekend! This means a new format and new prizes.
This new series of events is essentially the equivalent of a Nationals, but with a different name to allow America have more than one. They do not award Hatamoto but do have brand new set of promos (see here for the full list). This also means players who are Hatamoto can play another clan and not lose it!
Just one set of the many new promos available at a Grand Championship
The top 4 will get an invite to the next Winter Court. Prizes go to the top x of each clan, so there may be an incentive to play some of the weaker clans as even losing all your games you might get tons of prizes!
This tournament was tracked on Lotus Pavilion allowing us to easily look at the results and pairings and quickly generate charts. Consider supporting Lotus Pavilion at this Patreon page.
Saturday – Day1 has started
A total of 30 players attended. Link is up on LP here.
This event uses a different format to the Kotei level events. So in this case, they played 5 rounds and the top 8 players went into the final cut.
At the end of the day, Matthew Beck brought victory to the Phoenix clan.
