This is a tournament that's meant to be a fun relaxed experience and really just allow players to test out new decks ahead of the ranked season. There will be 5 Swiss rounds with a win giving you 3 points and a tie giving you 1. 11 points are required to make top cut so a record of 3-0-2 or better. Top cut is a single elimination bracket and will run for the final 48 hours of the tour with players who qualify being responsible for scheduling and completing their matches in a reasonable amount of time to ensure all the top cut matches can occur. Each player will be able to submit up to 5 decks and rounds are open for 24 hours. When you're paired up at the start of each round you touch base with your opponent and schedule a time to do your best of 3 set, you'll both see the opposing deck lists but won't know exactly which the other is bringing. Hopefully this proves to be a useful resource to figure out what your favorite new deck to play is and how it stacks up against the meta before ranked season begins, and we'll be running them the week leading up to each future ranked season. So, have fun, be mindful, and get ready to climb Master Ball tier next season!

**As this tournament is open rounds, there will not be a judge on call 24/7. That being said not all disputes may be able to be solved without judge intervention, so, here are some acceptable reasons to call a judge for your match.

-Incorrectly reported results.

-Decklist error (please provide screenshot during the match that shows whatever card you're opponent has that is incorrect)

-Inability to schedule match due to unresponsive opponent (for Swiss: only in the last 2 hours of the round, please be patient time zones and busy schedules are a thing)

-Other scheduling issues (for Swiss: both players have made contact but their schedules prevent them from being able to compete the set. Judge will set match result to a tie so both players receive 1 point and neither is penalized. For Top Cut: if the scheduling issue is in an early round on the bracket and would leave less than 12 hours to continue for the winner judges will make a decision based on the time zones and availability of all remaining players)

-Harassment (bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, and just generally being an asshole will not be tolerated)

As previously stated, a judge is not necessarily available 24/7, so, if you do need to call a judge, be patient, one will be in to handle any issues as soon as possible.**
