Event Information
Card Craze is hosting a free Bracket 3 tournament on Friday, May 16th! Entry will be free to all players -- just click the Register button above after creating a Topdeck account, and you're in!
Schedule
Sign-ups open at 3 pm. Games to start at 5:30 pm.
Entry Information
Sign-up requires the creation of a Topdeck.gg account, which just requires an email address and your name. When creating your account, please enter your name as you wish to be called in a tournament setting. It will be visible to other players in the bracket.
You may register at any point between now and the start of the tournament on Friday. Once registered, you will have the ability to check-in on arrival at the store. We'd like to close registration / check-in by 5:30 pm to begin, though we may need time to address emergent issues before starting.
While not required, downloading the Topdeck.gg app on your phone is recommended. This lets you view the bracket and receive push notifications for round starts and other tournament information, similar to WotC's Companion app.
Please make sure to submit a decklist when registering! We're going to do our best to get through deckchecks quickly to expedite round 2, and that will go faster if we already have your list on-hand.
Rules
Head Judge: Tom Wilson
Backup Judge: Ronnie Phelps
This is meant to be a friendly, casual tournament, and will utilize WotC's Bracket system and restrict submitted decks to Bracket 3 or lower. Deck checks will be performed after round 1, though we encourage all players in round 1 to consult a judge if they suspect someone in their pod has fielded a bracket 4 or 5 deck.
Format: 4 Swiss rounds with cut to top 4 if over 16. Single elimination if under 16. Rounds will be 80 minutes long and will awards points to each pod based on result:
Winner: 5 points Draw: 1 point Loss: 0 points Once all Swiss rounds are played, the top 4 players will form a pod and play for 1st place. Tiebreaker will be determined in-app by Match Points, then Opponent Win Rate (points/max), Opponents Beaten, then Unique Opponents.
Proxies: Must be legible, color, and easily identifiable as stand-ins for Commander legal cards. Proxies must have name, mana value, and oracle text of the card the represent. Proxies may NOT be counterfeits, IE must be readily identifiable as non-official proxies.
Prizing
Prize Pool: 1 box (x30 packs) of Tarkir: Dragonstorm Play Boosters, to be distributed based on turnout.
