GAMES WITH CLYDE · GODS UNCHAINED TOURNAMENTS
October 2026 Clyde Tournament — Gods Unchained monthly competition
Games With Clyde runs an independent Gods Unchained monthly tournament. Qualifiers take place each month, followed by a scheduled four-week competition with published dates, eligible players, game audits, live standings and permanent results.
October 2026 begins with 28 qualified players in four pools of seven. Twelve advance to two pools of six, four reach two semifinal pools of two, and the final week determines the placements. Eligible captured Gods Unchained games count automatically: there is no separate signup or required Direct match appointment.
November 2026 begins November 2 at 00:00 UTC with 52 players in four pools of 13, followed by Pools 2 (November 9–15), Semi-Finals (November 16–22), and Finals (November 23–29). The same-pool head-to-head game exception becomes permanent in Semi-Finals and Finals starting with November, while October Week 3 is unchanged.
Tournament rules and qualification sources are published for each cycle. Games With Clyde is a community project, not an official Gods Unchained tournament organizer.
October 2026 tournament calendar

Eligibility, counted games and advancement
Direct (mode 6), Casual (mode 110) and League DC (mode 213) games do not count toward the Clyde Tournament. Excluded games never contribute tournament wins, losses, activity minimums or opponent caps.
Each stage runs Monday through Sunday in UTC. A counted game requires the participating player to be Rank 11 or 12 when the game was played. The final minimum is 35 qualifying games per week, increasing by five each UTC day (Monday 5, Tuesday 10, Wednesday 15, Thursday 20, Friday 25, Saturday 30, Sunday 35).
Weeks 1, 2 and 3 count only the first two eligible games against the same opponent GUID during each week. Week 4 ONLY: eligible games against the other player in your own locked Championship or Third Place pool are exempt from that two-game cap; games against every other opponent remain limited to two. Direct, Casual and League DC games never qualify. Players are ranked by qualifying win percentage; pool ties use games played, then wins, then lowest GUID. The weekly activity minimum still applies.
Week 2 advances the top two eligible players from Pool A and Pool B. The four semifinalists are globally seeded by frozen Week 2 win percentage, then wins, then lowest GUID: seed #1 faces #4, and #2 faces #3. The semifinal pools are statistical weekly competitions, not required Direct head-to-head matches. In Week 4, the semifinal winners play for first and second while the other two players play for third and fourth; the same-pool opponent exception applies only to their Week 4 pools.
Monthly qualifiers and permanent history
Games With Clyde publishes monthly Gods Unchained tournament qualifiers. The active cycle identifies guaranteed seats, relevant qualifying events and the open-qualification leaderboard. A player can occupy only one seat, even if they earn more than one qualifying source.
Qualification and the four-week tournament are separate competitions. Qualifier scoring and eligible game modes can change between months, so use the live qualifier standings and published instructions for the current cycle rather than assuming the October rules apply to every future event.
For October 2026, the field combined awarded seats with 23 unique September open qualifiers to make 28 participants. The completed October Week 1 pool results are preserved separately from the next month’s qualification board.
October Week 2: published final standings
Week 2 is final and immutable. These standings come from the reviewed October 19, 2026 production capture after the October 19, 00:00 UTC cutoff. Ten of twelve players met the 35-game minimum; four advanced.
W–L and win percentages describe counted player results. Most-used deck links reflect captured event-week usage, which can include games outside the counted record.
