Muster/start time: 11AM
Grand J Games, 720 Mount Alexander Road, Moonee Ponds, VIC, 3039
Most street parking options near the venue are time limited and are paid. For this reason I would recommend using a paid all day parking option like the one found at: 28/24-28 Gladstone St, Moonee Ponds VIC 3039 https://share.google/nFb6RGm9OxifI1qrr
The route 59 tram stops right out front and goes via flinders st.
Otherwise, you can jump on the Craigieburn line and get off at Moonee Ponds station. From there it's a 10 minute walk.
This should only take 25 minutes in the car assuming good traffic. So it should be a relatively inexpensive uber ride.
Excluding operational costs (judge + software fees which is ~$425), all of ticketing sales will be contributing to the prize pool.
The final prize pool will depend on total player numbers.
Prizing will be awarded to those who make top cut and will be awarded as store credit.
For 86 players we will use the following distribution model:
NOTE: We will apply a rounding method to get clean numbers with the excess going to the upper or lower tiers.
This event has giveaways that are powered by Palms Off Gaming.
They have graciously offered the following as a give away for our duck race:
Palms Off Gaming is a local Melbourne brand that makes premium TCG accessories like sleeves, deckboxes and their very very premium binders.
Please support this brand if you can. The tournament venue (Grand J Games) stocks many of their products which will be available for purchase on the day.
3-5 80 minute rounds followed by a top 4-10-16 cut to finals.
This will depend on player numbers. If we reach 32+ players we will do 4 rounds of Swiss and a top 10.
If we hit 60+ players we will do 5 rounds of Swiss and a cut to top 16.
During Swiss, once time is called play will continue until the end of the turn. However, there will also be a hard 20 minute cap on overtime. If a winner cannot be decided in that time the match result will be considered a draw.
Additionally, each finals round will have a hard cap of 3 hours. After which time if a winner cannot be decided, the win will be awarded to the player in seat 1.
We understand that these rule changes may not be ideal for some but these measures have been put in place for logistical reasons and for the consideration of event staff.
87 players
NOTE: As we are close to cap, anyone who wants to join must first join the waitlist and request a ticket purchase link. Once ticket purchase has been confirmed we will add you to the mainlist.
This event will be play-test friendly.
You will need to use "test cards" that are printed in colour and utilize recognizable art. These printouts can be slipped in front of another card however the printout must not be seen from the top of the sleeve.
