Pre-registration for this event is required (see below for details). This is event is open to everyone (not just Squamish locals) so feel free to invite friends from outside our community to attend; the more the merrier!

You can enter via the rear of the building via the doors behind the storage bin painted with birds (recommended) or via the front entrance on Cleveland through the bookstore area (the door sign will show "Closed" after 5pm but will be unlocked).
- We'll be playing 3 Swiss-style rounds (60 minutes each) with the top 4 players at the end of round 3 moving on to a 4th round final table to decide the rankings.
- All participants will be randomly assigned initial seating in 4-person pods at the start of the event. In subsequent rounds, pods will be generated based on accumulated stats. If a pod of 4 can't be formed, the remaining participants will receive a bye (automatic win) into the next round.
- 5 points will be awarded to the winner of a game. If the round timer expires and a game isn't complete, the current player completes their turn and, if a winner still can't be declared, all remaining players in the game will be given 1 point for a draw.

- Unlimited proxy cards are permitted. If you decide to use proxy cards, please make sure they are complete with all original card details, legible and in the dimensions of a standard Magic card.
