Competition format and regulations

All players are required to abide by and follow these rules.

  • The competition consists of a single elimination round.
  • The standard format will be used.
  • All matches will be played on the European region.
  • After being called to play, players will open their accounts in their respective allocated PCs and once they are in the Select Deck screen, they will approach the opponent’s PC and chose the deck they want to ban. The match starts when the admin says so.
  • In case there is a draw, the match will start again using same exact decks.
  • Players are required to exhibit good sportsmanship during the competition.
  • After any match or in case of disagreement during the match, players shall take a screenshot of the issue to facilitate the admin making the decision making.

Players must compete to the best of their ability at all times. Any form of cheating will not be tolerated.

  • Any kind of cheat will result in the disqualification of the tournament.
  • Players are not allowed to use the chat or any other external device during the matches. They will therefore have to set their account to busy status.
  • Players shall be called to play at the previously agreed time. If they are not there 10 minutes after the time agreed for their match, the player will be scored as “game lost”.
  • Players are not allowed to take notes during the match.
  • Listening to music is not allowed during the tournament.
