Tournament Rules

Please join our group of friendly and welcoming players in maintaining a casual and light-hearted environment!

• Players will play approximately four rounds of Best-of-1 Swiss in each event. No time limits will be placed on games, but players are asked to maintain a lively pace of play. The top four players will then advance to a Single Elimination Best 2-of-3 top cut.
• Both events will use corrected versions of mistranslated cards. You can view all Wizards era cards with erratas here.
• The state of Illinois currently has an indoor mask mandate. Please respect this and help maintain a safe environment for everyone attending by ensuring you wear a proper face covering at all times indoors.
