CCG TournamentsWhat Is This?CCGs are collectible card games, usually played with paper cards in decks assembled from a pool of cards the player has collected. This tournament is for the Middle Earth CCG published by Iron Crown Enterprises and set in the fantastic realm of Middle Earth created by JRR Tolkien. The format for this tournament is sealed deck which means players are given a fixed amount of cards and allowed time to build a deck which they will use for the whole tournament. The software we'll use is called NetMECCG and creates a virtual tabletop for this game allowing it to be played online between two players. Anyone who has played the physical version of this game will find the software very easy to use. Those who haven't may struggle a bit as the game is a bit complex. Help is never more than a mouse click away. Sealed deck format is beginners level although even advanced CCG players enjoy this style of game. There will also be an advanced level 2 deck preconstructed tournament for those not taking part in the sealed deck final on day 3.

The draw will then take place for the next round. Sealed deck rounds will take place on Days 1 & 2. On day 3, the top 4 players with the most points will face off for final standings.
