SPRING MTG FESTIVAL CEDH SIDE EVENT

SPRING MTG FESTIVAL CEDH SIDE EVENT

Event Information We’re excited to invite you to a special CEDH Side Event hosted by CEDH Italy during the Spring MTG Festival, organized by Ronin MTG, on Sunday, May 25th, at Ristorante Pizzeria Palazzolo, Via dei Laghi 8, Rocca di Papa (Rome). This is a compact, competitive, one-day event: a great opportunity to test your decks, compete at a high level, and enjoy the festival atmosphere. Event capped at 24 players.

Rules All players must register through TopDeck. The entry fee is €20, to be paid via paypal friend & family to [email protected]at least three days before the event. The tournament will follow MTG Competitive REL, with certified judges present. It will also adhere to the European cEDH guidelines, which can be consulted here: https://juizes-mtg-portugal.github.io/

Structure The tournament will start at 12:00 and will consist of 5 Swiss rounds. There will be no cut to Top 16 and no Top 4 playoff. Final standings and prizes will be determined based on Swiss results only. Each round will last 80 minutes, after which the end-of-round procedure will automatically begin: players will complete the current turn with a hard limit of 20 additional minutes. After that, if no winner has emerged, the match will end in a draw. At any time during the round – within the 80 regular minutes or the 20 additional minutes – players may agree to an Intentional Draw, which must be unanimously agreed upon by all players at the table, including those already eliminated. Within the 80-minute time window, players still in the game may also agree to a Game Restart, a special form of Intentional Draw. In that case, a new game begins with all original players (including those eliminated) in their original positions and turn order. The round timer does not reset: the restarted game must be completed within the original time. Only players still in the game may request a Game Restart; eliminated players do not have a say, although they will participate in the restarted game. A judge must be called to approve any Game Restart. If an Intentional Draw is agreed upon during the 20 additional minutes, a Game Restart is not allowed.

Proxies & Decklists This event is full proxy friendly. You may proxy any number of cards in your deck. Proxies must feature recognizable Magic: The Gathering artwork and be clearly distinguishable from real cards (e.g., different back). They must be double-sleeved. Decklists are mandatory and must be submitted on TopDeck via a Moxfield link before the event begins.

Prizing The Top 4 players at the end of Swiss will receive a split of the prize pool:

• 1st place: 35% • 2nd place: 25% • 3rd–4th place: 20%

Prizes will be awarded in store credit at Ronin MTG.
