Rules:

After confusion and debate about the correct way to handle scoring and tiebreakers the past few years, I've decided to go with the rules used in official Magic events. The rules are outlined here: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...8K-nCBB0LbABVD

If someone has an opponent that no shows it will be treated as a bye.

If the round isn't played due to a no show, a bye, or a other reason, both players will be assigned the most popular class choice for that round that they still have available. So if you have already used the most popular class then you'll use the 2nd most etc.


- FTA: Game 1 random, Game 2 alternate, Game 3 random, Game 4 alternate, Game 5 random
- Games tied are replayed with the same player going first
- Disconnected games count as win for the opposing player

Deadlines will be updated via telegram chat

• DEADLINES ARE FIRM. Extreme circumstances will be considered, but don’t expect any extensions. If a deadline passes, the TO will review any evidence presented regarding who is to blame. If a decision can’t be made, the match will be counted as a draw.
• ALL DECISIONS ARE FINAL. Any excessive arguing or complaining can and will result in being removed/muted from the tourney chat and removed from the tournament. Any issues should be brought up via PM.*
• Prolonged, unannounced inactivity may result in a round loss or being removed from the tourney. Communicate with the TO and/or your opponent if you plan to be offline for several days.
• In the event of tournament rules (fta rules, deck constraints, hero choice, etc.) are broken, it is an automatic game loss, unless the opponent agrees to replay. Picking a previously used class is a round loss.
• If a player disconnects during a game, then they must take the game loss unless the opponent agrees to replay. Sync errors should be replayed with the same conditions (fta, deck composition, etc.)
•Repeat warnings will not be given for misgivings in chat. Light trashtalk is to be expected, but slander, badgering, and harassment in chat will be met with your removal from the chat and / or event.
