Clashground: Tampa Recap

Clashground: Tampa was an great event and a fun showing from the Florida Alpha Clash community! With the Bounties system and the Event card, The Hidden Hand, the tournament produced a diverse Contender field.

The Bounty Hunt

One-third of the field arrived with a Bounty Contender, aiming to prove themselves as the best pilot of that character and claim the Bounty reward.

So who ultimately claimed the Bounties?

  • Roy McCarthy (Top 8) - Magnate, Awakened.

  • Jeremy Root (Top 8) - Mean-Streak, Boosted.

  • Aric Mariano (2nd Place) - Warcry, Driving Force.

  • Kyle Welter (12th) - Paul, the Waiter

Swiss Rounds and the Draft

The day began with three rounds of Swiss gameplay, then the tournament shifted gears into the draft portion of the event, adding another layer of skill and adaptability as players built decks on the fly. This was also the first time any players had drafted with Ancient Alphas in an official event.

At the end of the draft rounds, the standings were locked in and the Top 8 for Day 2 was set.
