How It Works
Pauper, Regular REL, with a non-playing judge in the room.
Swiss rounds of 50 minutes (33-64 players: 6 rounds | 65+ players: 7 rounds).
All players upload their decklist on the event page before the start. Decklists stay hidden from other players and you can keep editing yours until round 1.
Need a deck? Feel free to email us. We have a selection of 28 decks available to borrow for the day.
Registration, Cancellation & Waiting List
We use topdeck.gg to manage the event. Register online to secure your spot.
Players can only deregister on TopDeck. A player is entitled to get a full refund of the ticket fee if and only if the cancellation is done within the deadline for the event (i.e. by Friday at 10:30 if the leg is played on Saturday).
Players in the waiting list will be notified of an available slot via email (check your spam folder!) and by the TopDeck app. Make sure to accept the invite in a timely manner, otherwise it will expire and the next player in the queue will be invited.
Check-in
Players can only check-in on TopDeck the day of the event. Self check-in starts 30 minutes before the beginning of the first round. Players that have not checked-in will be dropped automatically before the beginning of the first round.
Getting There
We play at Pondok in Amsterdam. Coming by car? Players have found free parking at Propellerstraat 9a and near Generaal Vetterstraat (by ParkBee Anthony Fokkerweg).
Food & Drinks
Our Italian chef Ianky provides lunch around 12:30 for 9 € for those interested. The menu is vegetarian and changes every leg, with vegan options usually available. In July, Ianky will serve cous cous with vegetables (allergens: gluten, nuts) and chocolate salami (allergens: lactose, gluten (chance of peanuts), soy, coconut). A couple of supermarkets are also within walking distance.
Beers, coffee, tea and soft drinks can be purchased at the Pondok bar.
