Okay here is how I'm thinking that this break will work. There are 12 spots and the price is $14 per spot. Each spot gets you ONE PACK OF CARDS that you get to keep guaranteed and that will ship to you automatically! So nobody walks away from this one empty handed!
Now, here's where it gets fun! There are 20 packs plus the silver pack in the box so for the first round I'm planning to divide people into 4 pools of 3, we'll open all of the first round packs that will be assigned to everybody, and the way to advance to the second round is if you have the card with the highest card number out of the 3 packs in your first round pool. So for example, if I were in a first round pool along with Member A and Member B and after opening the packs our high card numbers in our packs are 150 for me, 219 for Member A, and 81 for Member B, then Member A would have the highest card number and would advance to the second round where they will receive another pack, while me and Member B would be done and would receive only the cards from our first round pack.
Round 1 Pool Stage would look like this where each receiving 1 pack:
Pool A: A1, A2, A3
Pool B: B1, B2, B3
Pool C: C1, C2, C3
Pool D: D1, D2, D3
For the members that advance to the second round, we would be down to 4 members (the 4 members that each had the high number card in their first round pools). The remaining 4 members will be paired up into a semifinal matchup and would each get a second pack where we would do the same thing and figure out who has the highest card number between those 2 members in their semifinal matchups. The 2 members with the highest card numbers in their semifinal matchups would advance to the third and final round and would receive more packs, while the 2 members that did not would be done and would receive only the cards from their first and second round packs.
Round 2 Semifinal Stage would look like this each receiving 1 pack:
SF1: Pool A#1 vs Pool D#1
SF2: Pool B#1 vs Pool C#1
For the final round, the final 2 members will split the remaining 4 packs and we will open 2 packs for each member, again our criteria will be that the highest card number from the 4 packs will be our winner. The member that does not have the highest card number (second place finisher) will be done and will receive only the cards from their first, second, and final (third) round packs (a total of 4 packs worth of cards!). And our winner will receive the cards from their first, second, and final (third) round packs (a total of 4 packs worth of cards!) and will also receive the cards from the bonus silver pack as their prize that we will also open on camera. Working on also dangling another prize out to be awarded to the winner as well.
Round 3 Final Stage would look like this each receiving 2 packs:
Winner SF1 vs Winner SF2
Anyhow, was just thinking about how to try out a new break format to make things interesting and fresh and this one seemed like it could be a lot of fun doing it bracket style!
This format is new and we can definitely make some changes/modifications to it if anyone has any suggestions or requests please let me know. And please do let me know if anybody has any questions.
After you sign up I will add this to the Trade Manager along with my PayPal address.
This product has released and is in hand so we should be able to do this break soon after it fills if there is enough interest in this one.
