BCDL Legacy Open 3

Event Information

Announcing the BCDL Legacy Open 3 taking place August 17, 2024, at The Warp Gate’s new store located at 4499 Kenny Road, Columbus, Ohio 43220 which opens early August 2024! While the first and second BCDL Legacy Opens were huge successes, the feedback I got most was that a lower entry fee would be preferrable and a two-day event would make traveling more worthwhile. So, this year we’re doing both. The BCDL Legacy Open 3 will be six or seven rounds, depending on attendance, of Swiss play and Top 8 held on Saturday August 17th. As always, we’ll have tasty buffalo chicken dip for all competitors while supplies last.

Additionally, a 64-player cap BCDL Community Event, BCDL 16, will be held on Sunday August 18th. Entry into BCDL 16 on Sunday will have a separate sign up and entry fee. Entry fee into BCDL 16 is NOT included with Legacy Open 3 entry. We may consider adjusting the BCDL 16 cap to accommodate more than 64 players if there is enough interested participants.

As always BCDL is proud to be the large Legacy event tournament organizer allowing playtest cards making Legacy accessible to everyone!
