Jstris: Christmas Tourney 2017

[mahnameseddoi]

Christmas Tourney 2017 is an hour-long tournament that will take place on Jstris on Saturday, December 16th at 1PM PT (west coast US) 4PM ET (east coast US), 10PM CET (Europe), 8AM JST (Japan, Korea), 10AM AEST (Australia).

Ruleset: Christmas2 (preset id = 22)
Rules:
Every single attack (single, double, triple, tetris, t-spin, perfect clear, etc.) sends exactly 1 line. B2B's don't send anything. Combos are significantly reduced in order to prevent overpowered, early wins with a combo opener.  Rewards quickly clearing lines in whichever way possible. Everything else is default.

Attack table: 0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,0.
Combo table: 0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1,1.

The tournament will be Swiss-system.  Each match will be first to 7 games. If score is tied at 6-6, then whoever wins the next game wins. There is no win-by-two.

1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners will have their names embellished on this podium graphic (names shown at the moment are just random usernames I came up with).

The challonge scores are a bit off because of the rare tie between Okey_Dokey and jezevec10 at the end of the 3rd round. These are the official scores: https://imgur.com/n7JDCMm
