The Illuminated Bower

An online euchre tournament among friends

Date: TBD — sign up below

What Is This?

A euchre tournament played entirely online. Cards are dealt at Trickster Cards (free, in your browser, works on your phone) while we talk trash in Discord voice chat, one voice channel per table.

Teams of two. Fixed partners all night. Games to 10 points. A champion will be crowned.

How to Sign Up

Find a partner. Teams are pairs, and you keep your partner the whole tournament.
Post in the Discord. Drop your team name and both players in #euchre-hub.
That's it. Once we have at least 4 teams, we'll lock the date and format and update this page.

No partner? Post anyway — we'll match up the free agents.

Format

Locked once signups close. Planned shape, depending on team count:

Teams	Format	Est. length
4	Full round-robin, top two meet in the final	~2.5 hours
6	Two pools of 3, pool winners meet in the final	~2 hours
8	Two pools of 4, pool winners meet in the final	~3 hours

Rules & House Rules

Draft — final rules confirmed before event night, and Trickster tables will be configured to match exactly.

Standard euchre: 24-card deck (9 through Ace), games to 10 points.
Stick the dealer — if trump is turned down twice around, the dealer must call.
Going alone is allowed (4 points for a lone march).
No farmer's hand, no canadian loner, no defending alone — keeping it standard for tournament #1.
Renege enforcement is handled by Trickster automatically — the site won't let you play an illegal card, so no arguments.
Tiebreakers (in order): head-to-head result, total point differential, fewest points allowed.
Disconnects happen. Rejoin from the same table link; the table pauses for you. Be patient with each other.
