Rules

Top Deck Series Event

The event is competitive rules enforcement level. Competitive tournaments usually have significant cash prizes or invitations awarded to professional tournaments. Players are expected to know the game’s rules and be familiar with the policies and procedures, but unintentional errors are not punished severely. These are tournaments that protect the interests of all players by providing tournament integrity while also recognizing that not all players are intimately familiar with professional-level tournament structure, proper procedures, and rules. We will be adhering to the Magic: The Gathering Tournament Rules and Magic: the Gathering Infraction Procedure guide supplemented with the Competitive REL MTR/IPG Addendum for Commander events when necessary.

A player who needs to concede at any other time will be dropped from the event and must talk to the tournament organizer to re-enter. In this case, a judge will facilitate any mandatory actions of the conceded player until the stack is empty. In the event this happens in response to combat the turn will be facilitated until the end of combat. ” However, players may conceed collectively without using the stack.

These actions must not be in response to any in-game or out-of-game incentive.
