Event Composition: The event will consist of five 80-minute swiss rounds, with a Cut to a single elimination Top 16. Beyond the 80 minute mark, the game ends when the active player passes their turn, it reaches 20 minutes past end of round, or a winner is declared (whichever comes first). Top Cut and Finals rounds will have additional time added.
5 points per win, 1 point per draw, 0 points per loss. No 5 person pods. Pods of 3 will be allowed to avoid multiple byes, however, this will be weighed against the goal of forming as many pods with 4 players as possible.
This is an unsanctioned, community-run event! Proxies are allowed, but must be legible and contain accurate/complete rules text. Lewd or NSFW custom art not permitted.
Slips of paper in front of cards are not allowed, with the following exception: Paper in-front of a card, together inside of a Perfect Fit or Inner Sleeve, then sleeved in Standard sleeves. Complete deck must be this way for consistent thickness to prevent deck-errors or marked cards.
