Welcome Back!

Hello everyone! We’ve adopted a new schedule to fit my semester courseload, and I hope you’ll be with us as we continue to explore how we can play this game! The new schedule is as follows:

• Bi-weekly Custom Formats
• Bi-weekly Legacy/Old Formats
• Bi-weekly 48-hour Round Custom Formats
• Weekly Variety Formats (Custom, 2011-2020, Taiwan Standard/Expanded, etc)

General Rules:

• Best of 3 Swiss 50 Minute Rounds (BO1 Swiss 25 Minute Rounds if >=20 players)
• Best of 3 Single Elimination Top Cut 50 Minute Rounds
• Pass-Pass is enforced (more down below)

  If a player fails to do this, the match is reset, if this happens a 2nd time in a set, the player who forgets takes a loss for that match (note, the match, not the round)
  

• Any issues can be PM'd to Vi$un14618#4420 or our other staff
