I have started playing some anytime tournaments, and they've been very fun! I enjoy these much more than the regular single-elimination tournaments where you have to play at a certain hour. It never feels good to schedule a time to play, maybe even rent some cards, and be out of it in the first couple of rounds. For me, these have been much more satisfying to play. I've also been able to earn a decent amount of SPS and get to play more Splinterlands games, other than the ranked battles.

Here's the prize pool:

In these tournaments, each person plays a number of games, usually 11, in a 24 hours period. The top X% (can be 20%, 30%, or 40%) advances to the next phase, which works exactly the same in the next 24 hours period. That means you only need enough time to submit all teams, twice, in two days! I'm currently playing in Gold (ranked play), so I have most cards fully leveled up for this tournament.

Let's see how this one goes!

I had much more speed. Grum was able to get a kill but it wasn't enough to get going and he died without getting a second attack.

This would have been worse for me if they had higher level cards or if they went with Thaddius Brood instead of Quix the Devious. As soon as I took out Djinn Muirat, I was able to quickly take care of most of their monsters.

Close game. My heals and repairs were very much needed to win. Grum was unable to get a single kill because Forgotten One got a Retaliate. Eventually, it was Antoid Platoon vs. Tenyii Striker and Striker won.

Huge level difference, the game wasn't close.

The stun was very nice. It stopped the healing and the attack for 1 turn, enough for me to get the win.

Similar teams but I went with higher mana cards. I used Wave Brood and Baakjira to take most of the damage, in the back. Baakjira also meant my team was faster. I quickly took out some of their monsters and the game was mine.

I think this game could have gone wrong if I had been unlucky with Chaos Dragon. It was good that I was able to take out Grund on the first turn. It would have hurt to take 3 attacks on the second turn.

With Blast and Snipe, it was easy to take out their whole backline. When it was only Uriel left, it wasn't enough to survive my whole team.

The game didn't look good, at the start. However, once I killed Uriel twice, it turned in my favor.

Free win of the day!

I had too little firepower to beat their team.

10-1 in the first day is almost perfect! This leaves me in a great position for the second day.

They got a few Retaliates but it wasn't enough to kill all my monsters to reach the ranged ones.

It's weird to see a level 1 team on day 2 but I'll take it.

In high mana games it's usually a good idea to go with Dragon to be able to play all those huge mana and powerful monsters.

At first glance, I thought I would lose this game. Their first 2 monsters have Void and they have 3 heals. I also have 3 heals but no damage reduction. However, I have much more firepower. When I took out Wave Brood, it was easy to kill the monster in the second position because they had low health.

Riftwing wasn't doing too much here. Eventually, it was just Cursed Windeku and I had enough firepower to take it out.

My Diemonshark has some clutch dodges that allowed it to attack one more time. I'm not sure I needed but it was nice, for sure. Deeplurker was only hitting for 1 damage because Mycelic Slipspawn has Forcefield.

I went with Mycelic Infantry instead of Grund to fully use the Reverse Speed rule set. It turned out well for me because it was able to kill Grund before getting killed.

Diemonshark is a beast! The game didn't look good for me but suddenly it was enraged and killed everything.

Without misses, I would always win this game but there was a chance I would get several misses and lose. I'm glad I didn't and won.

Very similar teams but their position worked better and the higher levels also helped.

Very similar teams but their Merdaali Guardian did a lot for them. I had some unlucky misses and they didn't, even though I had Flying Squid with Blind.

9-2 on the second day for a 19-3 total. That was enough for 4th place, which is the same prize as 1st: 30 SPS! This was the reason for my Gold for Gold title! Congratulations to Scar422, the champion, and to everyone else who played!
