Commitment - This is the first rule because it is the most important of all. Tournament rounds will last a maximum of 4-5 days and it is your responsibility to complete your matches in a timely manner. Anyone who misses a deadline will be immediately dropped from the tournament and excluded from any future tournaments. If you can't fully commit to this tournament then simply don't join it.
2)
Tournament Format - This tournament will use a five-round Swiss-Style pairing system with a cut to the Top 8 players. Those players will then play single elimination rounds until a winner has been decided. All matches are a best of three with the exception of the final round, which is a best of five.
3)
Intentional Drawing - In Paper Magic tournaments, it is common for players to intentionally draw matches in order to secure a place in the Top 8 single elimination round. Since the purpose of this tournament is content creation, intentional drawing will not be allowed. You have to play your matches.
4)
Decklists - Each player will register a deck of 60 cards and will play that deck exclusively throughout the tournament. All decks will be submitted in secret to DJ0045 and then published once all submissions have been received. Once you have settled on a decklist, send it in a PM to DJ. He will let me know once he has received all sixteen submissions and I will post them at that time. Since the decklists will be transmitted from you to DJ to me and then posted to this thread, there is potential for errors to occur. It is your responsibility as a participant to ensure the posted decklist matches the decklist you intend to play before the tournament commences.
5)
Illegal Cards - The first penalty for playing an illegal card is a game loss. The second penalty is a match loss. The third penalty is tournament expulsion. I suggest creating a special copy of your tournament deck and giving it a unique name so that you never modify it by mistake.
6)
Disconnects - I'm not going with shades of grey on this issue because it's a sticky one. If you DC, you get a game loss. Black and White is easier to manage and avoids petty arguments. If you lose a game because of a thunderstorm, that's just bad luck. Accept it and move on.
7)
Bugged Cards - If a bugged card can be used in a way that lets it do things it should not be able to do, then making that play will result in an immediate game loss (e.g. Disciple of the Ring pre-patch). If a card is bugged and is therefore less useful somehow then you have the option to simply not play that card (e.g. Greenwarden of Murasa).
