PROXIES ARE ALLOWED FOR THIS EVENT
Up to 100 Registered proxies are allowed for this event. You must note on your decklist which cards are proxied(#!Proxy).
Proxies are a printed card with recognizable art and with legible text that matches current oracle text or as a copy of a previously printed card. Dimensions must match a standard magic card (2.5” x3.5”). Any alternative art must be family-friendly.
The judge has final say on event day, and may do deck checks as applicable to ensure they are indistinguishable from other cards in your deck.
LIFE TOTALS AND NOTE TAKING
We recommend you bring a pen and paper, manual life counter, or “boogie board” to track important game actions, and/or life totals, as electronic counters may fail or be disallowed, and dice are strictly not allowed for tracking life total.
Please note that visible paper in match may only be from that match, no decklists, etc.
GENERAL RULES
Please be kind and courteous to all players, be patient with judges and event organizers, and understand that tournament competitive play is held to a higher average standard than casual commander. “Take backs” are not allowed (in general), game actions must be taken promptly, and players must make every reasonable effort to maintain an accurate game state.
Barring specific exemptions granted by a judge, or necessitated by a health condition, exigent circumstances etc, you may not use electronic devices (cell phones or tablets in particular) during games except for life tracking.
TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
Depending on attendance, there will be 3-5 rounds of Swiss pairing, with a cut to top 16. The 4 winners of these Top 16 pods will advance to the Final Round.
Wins in Swiss will represent 5 points, a draw will award all players in the pod 1 point, and a loss will award no points.
Swiss rounds will be 80 minutes long, with small extensions granted for restroom breaks, etc per judges authorization.
At the end of time in the round, the active player finishes their turn and then there will be an additional number of turns equal to the number of players left alive in the game. If no winner has been determined at the end of these turns, the match will result in a draw in Swiss.
A judge may be called to ensure no “slow play” is happening at any time, and ensure the prompt resolution of the stack.
If this is a top cut or finals match, there are no time limits.
Byes will be avoided if possible, 3 pods are not preferred, but will be utilized in place of byes if at all applicable.
This tournament will utilize the MTRa/IPGa used by TopDeck and will generally be held to Comp/REL standards with exceptions or modification as determined by judging staff.
