@Gizmonic also provided some good Catacomb tips on Slam Tilt Podcasts “Hold your weight” episode

PAPAtvLive is going to be playing catacomb tonight on their youtube channel as well. By the end of this weekend I think we’ll all be catacombed out.

I think my seeding for the last three years has been 10, 8, 31. Always stuck in a bottom group playing all the leftover classics. Guess I need to seed better!

Yeah, but last year the classics were more playable/desirable than the modern games.

I mean that’s a whole separate conversation, but it would be nice to get a shot at some era variety. Maybe there will be a boat anchor modern Stern that sinks to the depths for the bottom feeder groups. Striker Xtreme, anyone?

Yeah, seems odd to have era diversity if there are no rules in place for picking them.

Exactly. Would be nice to see something like no more than 2 of an era per round.

Agreed. Multi-era constraints in multi-game matches are a good thing, particularly if there are a limited # of moderns or controllable SS relative to the # of groups.

If only we knew someone at Stern with “some” experience in tournaments? :wink:

AFAIK PAPA is running the circuit final.

Get ready for Stingray…

I’m still ready for Catacomb! I just don’t think @sk8ball will ever be… :slightly_frowning_face:

The Toast!
