DeckTech
DeckTech (decktech.net) was a major SWCCG deck-list and tournament-report site in the late 1990s–2000s. The Players Committee later wrote that PC forums slowly overtook DeckTech, Game Players Network, and other sites as the primary online hangout.[1]
Stephen Skilton's SWCCG Decktech Archives keep 3,923 Star Wars deck posts (ids 3–26555, 11 August 1999 through 10 December 2002) and 1,406 tournament-report URLs. A GitHub Pages copy of the same dump is at stevetotheizz0.github.io/decktech_archives. This wiki dests those posts onto DeckTech decks and DeckTech tournament reports; the Skilton hosts stay in Sources.
The same 3,923 posts are also hosted at decktech.net; individual posts are at `/starwarsccg/deck/{id}`. Title, author, handle, side, and rating letter indexes on that host 404. Listing Light/Dark tags on the archive index are often wrong (a Hunt Down post tagged Light).
Tournament reports name pairings, finishes, and sometimes include a 60. Dest those reports as articles and use them to fill event hubs and player Tournament Results.
DeckTech ran the FreedomCon charity convention in Virginia Beach on 15–18 November 2001; its Star Wars CCG tournament is counted as the 2001 Decipher World Championship.[2] After Decipher lost the Star Wars license, DeckTech ran a second FreedomCon, in Lansdale, Pennsylvania, on 4–6 October 2002, organized by Mike Carr.[3]
