Splinterlands Engagement Challenge: Newbies Guide to Tournaments

avatar


Every week there is a Splinterlands challenge that can be found in this week's post. I also encourage Splinterlands players to partake in the challenge because they get to learn about the game. In this week's challenge, we discuss tournaments. I don't play these much anymore but I did in the past when I first started. It was the best way to start learning the game and it made me a better player.

Tournaments

These tournaments can be accessed through the Play menu and then going to the tournaments tab or by going to this link. Tournaments are a good place to learn about the cards and best setups. I used this a lot when I first started playing because it added some extra profit and I got better at the game much faster. You don't have to understand everything but figure out which lineups work better and work at incorporating them into your own lineup.

Above is a Tournament that was available. I did enter it later, but this has all the information about the tournament. The Entry cost is 50 DEC and you can see the max level for the cards that can be played. In this case, common cards are at level 3, rare at level 2, epic at level 2 and legendary cards at level 1. You can only use Rebellion cards.

Towards the left side of the screen, you can see how many people entered and the other requirements. You need at least 2,000 SPS staked and 6,633 POWER. It also mentions that you can submit matches anytime within 24 hours and there are multiple rounds. There are other tournaments that are live and require you to submit matches on time, but this is a more relaxing tournament. On the right is the rewards for the tournament.

One thing to note is that the cost for the tournament is the equivalent of 4.9 SPS. So if you place within the top 128, you profit if you place higher, then you will profit even further. You can take a look and some of the tournaments will make it quite easy to profit.

My Tournament

I forgot to take a screenshot with the enter match button, but in the red box, that is where you would find your matches under the arena tab. I already submitted all my matches. So it has a summary of how well you are doing. I didn't do so great in this tournament. I am ranked 60 with 7 matches played out. I did submit all 11 matches so there is a chance of 4 extra wins, but I don't think I will rank higher enough to advance. I am just not used to Rebellion cards. I don't know the meta but I am happy to know that I did at least profit from this tournament because ranking higher than 128 will be a profit. I still think there is a chance to get into the 33-64 ranks though.

Conclusion

This challenge was to look into tournaments. It's a part of the game that I used to play a lot and I do agree that it teaches you a lot. I wasn't used to just using Rebellion cards so I learned a bit more about those cards because I lost quite a few matches. However, I do think that it is a profitable place to enter. There don't seem to be enough people entering matches so it's a good time for people to enter. Good luck everyone if you do play tournaments.

What did you think of tournaments in Splinterlands?

Tournaments are a part of the game that I think many players overlook right now.
If you can get at least a couple of wins you'll usually always make your entrance back and then earn quite a bit on top. I've been skipping them for a while myself but since about a month I'm playing tournaments daily again - it certainly adds up over time!

I agree. You can pick the tournaments that you have better chances at and there will always be people who forget to submit their matches. I don't play it as often due to time constraints. I'll have to do them from time to time to add more to my winnings.

Participating in tournaments for newbies will surely help build proficiency in playing SPS and your short guide on how to do that is pretty comprehensive. I think any newbie can follow it. And the more better you get the more the reward. Thanks for writing.

Yes. Tournaments limit the cards that you can use. So it means that you learn quite a bit about the current metas and good lineups to play the game.

Tournaments are really important, when I have no silver league to play and still have gf cards this is a place when I still can earn decent sps! Even, when there be more new players and ranked pool will be more drained tourneys will always pay the same :)

Yea. Tournaments are very good for rewards, but they are still a bit time consuming. I do think that you will do well so long as you get a few wins.

I think they're (tournament) a good way to actually make use of your cards and earn more from them. 4.9 SPS is good and if you can X3 them in profit I think it's good .

Yeah, but I ended up being knocked down to the lowest bracket. It's still a profit of like 3.5 SPS though.
