Rules
We will be using the Juízes MTG Portugal Multiplayer Addendum along with the following amendments:
- Playtest cards allowed (full colour and recognisable art)
- Please note that paper cutouts are acceptable but should be cut neatly so the card beneath is not visible and, if possible, in front of a basic land NOT in the deck's colour identity
- 75 minute Swiss rounds (without turns)
- 3/4/5 rounds of Swiss with final top 7/10/13/16 cut (Swiss round structure and top cut dependent on player count)
- Please post decklist links on TopDeck after registration (required)
- Top 7/10/13/16 match(es) will be timed at 90 minutes - after which the standard end-of-match procedure will be followed
- Top 4 match will be timed at 120 minutes - after which the standard end-of-match procedure will be followed
These rules are subject to change before the event and any changes will be made clear during event announcements.
Prizing
Top 4 prizing will be store vouchers for LGS Geek Retreat Sunderland - located conveniently inside Laser Quest Sunderland. Prizing will be announced before the third round of Swiss - prizing will scale depending on player count. All entry fees, after the £10 food voucher is deducted, store vouchers for top 7/10/13/16 (amount dependent on player count - usually equal to cost of entry), a small administrative cost (£9 - see below) and cost to compensate the head judge (£1 per player - see below), to be used as prizing for the top 4.

Transparency Information
For almost two years, we’ve been organising cEDH events in the North East and not taken any cut of the entry fees; all entry fees have always been used as prizing for the hosting LGS. However, this is unsustainable: every event, we lose money from administrative costs, such as TopDeck subscription, etc. Moreover, our judge team also sacrifice their time to ensure the events run smoothly and we feel, and I’m sure you would agree, they should be compensated. Please be aware of the following costs that will be taken from the overall prize pool as store credit for the hosting LGS to ensure they are still fully supported:
- TO - £9
- Head Judge - £1 per player
