The current theme tournament (Double Date) is awesome! Its 200 points and you have to have exactly 2 characters so it leads to fun fast games. You get to see some great combos. I have not seen 1 dominant team played over and over. I love it for those reasons alone. Add the fact that you get a special object (Cupid's Bow) just for participating and you get a shot at a special LE you can't get any other way (The Holiday Elf) and you have the perfect recipe for a successful tournament. Because it is such a great idea, a ton of people want to play. That means that it is really easy to find a tournament. This is HCO at its best and a glimpse of what it can be if we can just build up the number of regular players.

hear hear. I won my first one, got the elf, and have been playing over and over (losing a bunch, unfortunate for my Tourney rating ) just to have more games run and get to play once or twice.

I almost wish there was a way to restrict the lobby games like HCO can restrict tourney games (limit number of characters and theme as well as point value).
