Welcome to Shark Weekly! This is a closed decklist PTCGL Standard format tournament that aims to fill a void in the tournament calender for players outside of US timezones, but of course everyone is allowed to participate.
Edit: moved to Thursday again, seems like there won't be enough players on a Monday.
Rules
- Structure: Swiss rounds into asym into top 8 (top 4 for under 32 players). Number of rounds: 5 (up to 32 players), 6 (33-64), 7 (65-128).
- Legal cards: Whatever is legal in PTCGL standard format is legal here. Anyone found to be playing with a different decklist from what they submitted will be removed from this tour and possibly banned from future ones.
- Matches: BO1 with 35 minutes per round, including 5 minutes for check-in. Top cut is untimed BO3, where the loser of each game chooses who goes first in the next one. Rounds may start earlier at the organiser's discretion if everyone is finished, so please pay attention to the dashboard.
- Ties: a match is tied automatically if time runs out. If you did complete the game before that, make sure to screenshot your victory screen and call a judge immediately.
- In-game issues: if a player gets disconnected or their game crashes and it is not possible to finish the game, they are issued a loss. Sorry :(
- Intentional slow playing: is prohibited. Please call a judge as soon as possible if you suspect that your opponent is deliberately slow playing in order to force a tie.
- In-game names: make sure that before the tour starts, your PTCGL in-game name in your profile is correct. Anyone repeatedly participating with a wrong in-game name can and will be dropped from the tour.
- Harassment, abusing bugs, hacking, ...: Shouldn't have to say this, but please don't. We reserve the right to hand out bans.
No prizes yet, this will change soon. Have fun!!
