Tournament Structure
- Modified Swiss-style (50-minute rounds).
- Rules Enforcement Level (REL) is Competitive.
- The Top 8 players after the final Swiss round will advance to the Top 8 single-elimination finals.
- Top 8 playoff matches will be best 2 of 3, and have no time limit. (Players are still expected to play at a normal pace and complete playoff matches in a reasonable amount of time.)
- The Trios event will cut to the top 4 teams.
- The Championship will cut to the top 16 players.
- Where necessary, the standings after the Swiss rounds will still be used to determine final order in the standings.
Noah you are the best!!! : D
Looks awesome. It’s a shame I’m on the other side of Canada. I wish there was some way to do Canada only MTGO events to eliminate the vast distances in Canada.
Long weekends, really??
What about long weekends?
@noah_33 Some people have lives that involve doing things on long weekends, other than spending them inside playing cards.
Events sound like fun; will tell all my customers/friends about it.
Unfortunately I can’t go; too close to both the Ottawa area PTQ and Anime North work obligations. Additionally I don’t play Legacy or have a deck so qualifying for the Champs in the STD event wouldn’t help me much. Still seems like a lot of fun if you have the time/collection for it; good luck to both Steve and Noah.
PS: Fwiw both of the organizers are A+ people in the community and I’ve heard nothing but good things about Face to Face Games when they run events. Putting all that together sounds like an awesome foundation for a tournament series here in Canada; you should totally go if you can!
