Tap for Hope is a recognized 501c3 organization with the IRS. It can accept in-kind donations of Magic: the Gathering cards up to $5k USD in value (before appraisal is required for donation).
If you would like to donate Magic: the Gathering cards, you will be able to do so at our event. Donations will be collected at the Hyatt Regency during the event. If you would like to donate outside of the event, you can reach outdirectly to: [email protected]. Tap for Hope is able to provide you with the proper documentation regarding donations for your tax needs!
This event will be proxy friendly. You will need to use "test cards" that are in color and utilize recognizable art or MDFC placeholder cards that are clearly written on. MDFC cards will require full text, mana cost, card type(s), and name.
If you choose to use MDFCs, you are limited to only 10 MDFC proxies. Additionally, you will need a printout of the cards to reference on the side. You will not be allowed to slip printed pieces of paper in front of a Magic card.
Each round will be 80 minutes. Once time is reached, the active player finishes their turn and the game ends. If the turn passes and no one has won, the game will result in a draw. Games will be considered a draw 20 minutes after round time.
For the Top 40 Swiss round, the round time will be extended to 120 minutes from 80 minutes with the same end of round time extension rules.
