Format
The initial Mug Madness tournament will use eight qualifier tournaments to give away eight entrance ribbons. The holders of the ribbons will compete in the main Mug Madness tournament; ribbons are allowed to be traded or sold, giving non-qualifier winners a chance to get into the main event if they can tempt a winner with a high enough price. The qualifier settings are determined using the random format used in the main tourney, except they remain static after the initial tournament creation and don't change with each game played. Future variants may use a different method.
The main tournament features best-of-three rounds, with random formats in each game of the round. The format is determined by creating an unrated, six piece/color game and using the first two non-special pieces after the Chips to decide the number of color/pieces and the game goal. Any specials are chugged until two non-specials are in the tray with the chips. The chips are then placed, and the third piece gives the first mug. In the first game, player one may trade the first mug to player two or they may keep it, but the decision is made without knowing what the second mug is. In game two, this decision is given to player two. If there is a game three, there is no swap option.
1st piece: red/orange = 4 color/piece, yellow/green = 5 color/piece, and blue/purple =6 color/piece.
2nd piece: Red = Board Stained, Orange = 3000, Yellow = 2500, Green = 2000, Blue = 1500, and Purple = 1000.
3rd piece: Bottle = CHALICE, Bumpy Glass = TANKARD, Wavy Glass = FLAGON, Jug = PITCHER, Goblet = GOBLET, Champagne Glass = SKULL MUG, Barrel = HORN, and Hook = STEIN.
