Broken Triple Triad Competition System

Congrats! :)
Lightning's the only tournament card I've ever gotten from a Platinum pack. Unfortunately I already had her from Tataru so it was frustrating.

A couple of easy to code fixes that might go a long way towards the health of the tournaments

1) Reduce the MGP rewards for the top places. Many of the cheaters do it only for the easy MGP and don't need the cards. Replace the lost MGP with some more card packs, toss in a couple Mythril/Gold packs
2) Remove the bonus points awarded based on your opponents rank on the board. It's sickening to see people with 0/40 records place in the top 20 only because they 'lost' against the #1 person on the board every match. Let the people who win trade on Monday have the same chances to place high as the people who win trade during the 30 minutes after reset.

Welp 3.5 finally fixes this. Now opponents are chosen for you at the card hall

This doesn't really fix anything. Just make sure you're in BHall at odd hour with who you want to farm...it's nearly always empty anyway.

Players will not be paired with players they have already battled while they are in the same Battlehall.

It doesn't let you repeatedly play the same player either. They didn't just fix one thing in this patch, they tackled everything. Don't need to play so many matches for tournament now. Also no NPCs use random rules any more and you get way more MGP back for selling your spare duplicate cards than before.

Triple Triad will be great again.

This is great news. Also, the Battlehall may be filled now that people know there's an actual point to doing the tournaments.
