Hello everyone! I know it has been a while since our last Premium Encounters event but we have been trying to cook something that we hope everyone enjoys. It is time to have another premium event but this won't be like any other premium tournament you have entered before. We are here to finally announce our special custom premium format called ZPremium! It is a special format where we combined Premium Format with the Standard Format and added a special rule along with a custom banlist.
The tournament structure for this event is listed below:
• ZPremium Format
• Sign ups start at 4 pm, tournament begins at 5 pm
• $15 Entry Fee
• No Overtriggers are allowed in your decks for this event!
• A deck code is required to participate in this event
• Swiss, Best of 1 tournament
• There will be a cut to top 8 if we get more than 16 players, otherwise it will be top 4
• 35 min rounds, 10 additional minutes for end of round procedures
-At the end of each round, if there are still players mid game, time will be called and they will enter the end of round procedures. They will have 3 additional turns to finish their game, with turn player being turn 0.
- At the end of the 3rd turn (or 10 minutes), the game will end and the damage will be assessed. The player with the lowest damage count wins. In the event that both players are at the same damage count at the end of the 3rd turn (or 10 minutes), then we will go into sudden death, where the next player that takes damage automatically loses the game.
- Example: Both players are at 4 damage at the end of the 3rd turn, we go into sudden death. Player B attacks Player A and deals a damage to Player A. Player A reveals a Heal Trigger, which would resolve, but because it’s sudden death Player A would receive the loss.
Top 8:
• Swiss, Best of 1
• Top 4 players receive an exclusive playmat
• Top 3 players will receive store credit based on placing: 1st 50% 2nd 35% 3rd 15%
We hope you guys enjoy this premium format tournament with a special twist and custom banlist. The rules added to the format along with the custom list will be posted in the event page. The custom banlist will be updated after each event so as to keep the format fresh. We hope you enjoy decking building for this format and we look forward to seeing everyone!
