Included in your entry is a restaurant style buffet with many options for all food preferences. A full Bar will also be available for those wishing to have drinks. This is a 21+ event.

TOURNEY SPECIFICS

Food. This location offers an excellent assortment of buffet style food for most desires and diets. We are paying for food for 150 people with a cap of players at 128 so no one should leave hungry. There will also be a full bar stocked with bartenders for those who wish to purchase alcohol separately. During gameplay, to avoid any issues with food and cards, food and drinks will not be allowed at the table. That's why the rounds are 75 minutes to allow a 15 buffer between rounds to eat, drink, check out vendors, socialize etc.

Proxies. We discussed this a bunch with our casual & competitive players, also WOTC sanctioning and came down on a ZERO PROXY Policy. However we ARE ALLOWING GOLD BORDER/WORLDS WOTC PRINTED CARDS, and foreign language too, hopefully this helps keep the tourney fair for the majority of you. We know this means some people will have to make adjustments to their favorite decks to compete, but for the prizes listed, we believe this policy will be worth it.

Deck list. Decklist must be added to Moxfield.com and a physical paper printout brought with you to the event. Decklist can and will be checked by any judge randomly throughout the event. No substitutions can be made to your deck between rounds.

The rounds will be 75min each, no eliminations during the first 3 rounds. The winner of each pod will get an LOTR pack. A total of 6 rounds will be played in the tourney. We know the standard EDH Tourney round is 90 minutes, but the venue won't let us start till 4p, so we had to make this concession and hope everyone understands, this also saves us having to play the final pod till 4am! Points are awarded as follows.

128 Player Max! This allows for easy brackets, no eliminations before round 4. So all players get at least 3 rounds in the tourney to play, earn points and packs. Winners from the last 4 pods will earn the TOP 4 Prizes!(starting with Mishra's Workshop)

-POINTS-

If you are first player eliminated you get 0pts (1 if your pod has only 3 players)

If you are second player eliminated you get 1pt

If you are third player eliminated you get 2pt

If you win the pod using a card that says "you win the game if", 3pt

If you win the pod without using a card that says "you win the game" 4pt

If the game goes to a tie and no players are eliminated each player gets 1pt

Due to the unique nature and start time of this event we will make announcements at the 15-10-5 minute time reminders, if round goes to time, the active player will end their turn, all remaining players will be considered a tie and scored pts accordingly.

Competitve REL will be enforced.

-PRIZES-

So we are aiming for a 'bracket system' based on points accrued during your games. During the first 3 rounds pts are added and no one is eliminated, starting with round 4 we will move from 128 players to 64 players (pt cut off will be determined at event). round 5 this goes to 32 players. round 6 will be 16 players.

Made it to the "Sweet 16", congrats you're all winners! From these final 4 pods the winner of each pod will be put into prize circle for the Workshop, Cradle, Savannah, and Scrubland (based on total accrued points). All non-winners from the final 4 pods will be given shop credit to spend at the vendors present. In the event of a tie on points a coin flip or similar will be initiated by the head judge.

Early bird price of this event in April is $100. In May and June the price will go up by $20.

Please feel free to email us directly with any questions you may have for the event, we also have a social group on whatsapp for all players in this tourney.
