TOURNAMENT STRUCTURE
When challenging, players should use the “Historic Tournament Match” challenge mode.
The tournament will be composed of 7 Swiss-system rounds, which means that all players will be playing all 7 rounds against opponents with equal records, with the top 8 being decided by a point-based system.
After, the top 8 will compete in a bracket to determine a ranking.
Each round will be restricted to a 50 minute timer – if a pairing surpasses the 50 minute mark, participants are to immediately submit their current score (be it 1-0 or 1-1). This helps us keep the tournament going in a timely manner.
DECKLISTS
The tournament is open decklist. This means that you must submit your decklist before the tournament begins, otherwise you will be dropped from the tournaent. This also means that both you and your opponent will know each other’s decklists ahead of time. You can submit your decklist through the player controller.
